Crystal Reports 2011 and ECC logon error

We have installed Crystal 2011 and the ECC integration kit to enable reporting out of ECC using Crystal. I understand the connection string concept, but I am having a problem getting Crystal to logon to my msg server using a logon group other than PUBLIC.
I have tried passing different supported logon groups during the logon, but the resulting error message indicates it is still trying to logon to the msg server using PUBLIC logon group which does not exist in our system.

Actually it has turned out to be an App-V thing. Several desktop clients including SAPGUI are deployed using App-V. Basically Crystal does not read or pay attention to the "virtual" ENV variables that locate the saplogon.ini file in the App-V environment. We are developing a work around to install Crystal using App-V and linked to the virtual env variables. fingers crossed.
BTW, thanks for the input. But this was being tried on my machine using a VMware guest. The GUI has been installed and operational for many months and my username in this ECC system has SAP_ALL as it's a sandbox that we are shaking this out on.
This was my first experience dealing with App-V.. Apparently desktop support is going the same virtual route as the Servers and CI's have gone.

  • Crystal Report 2011 and ODBC DataSource

    Hi
    We use Crystal Report 2011 with Visual Studio 2010. How can we set the Report Data Source, while opening the report? The Data Source is a ODBC Connection to a MS Access Database.
    Thx a lot.

    Crystal Report 2011 does not install / have any .NET SDK. You would need CR for VS Sp10, install the EXE on top of VS 2010.
    Develop a sample app using CR 13 assemblies. You could use the CR 2011 Designer to design your reports.
    Refer to below sample applications, specifically the
    csharp_web_simplelogonengine.zip
    http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/Crystal+Reports+for+.NET+SDK+Samples
    For an ODBC connection the logon code is almost the same just with a simple change.
    Set the ServerName to your DSN and kkep the DBname empty.

  • Unexpected behaviour for Crystal Reports 2011 and publications

    I had publication based on crystal reports 2008 hosted on a bobj 3.1 box.
    The report was reporting off a BW Query and the publication list was also based on a BW query.
    When it ran is successfully drop the reports on a share in pdf format.
    I've upgraded the crystal reports to 2011 and they are now hosted on bobj4.0 box. I can run both reports successfully on their own.
    Now I try to create a publication.
    I am able to select the source report, but as soon as I try to select my the report for my dynamic recipients I get the following error message
    Cannot open report document. --- Item SI_FALLBACK_LOCALE was not found in the collection. [CRCAF00000004]   
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.
    Daniel

    Hi Daniel,
    You do not state the patch level of the BI4.0 system, I would advise you to test with one of the later BI4.0 Patch levels i.e. Patch 2.4 or Patch 2.5 if possible as there have been some fixes in relation to publications which may help.
    Alternatively can you open the Dynamic Recipient report in the CR2011 designer, refresh it, republish it back to BI4.0 repository. Then schedule the Dynamic Recipient report on it's own and try recreating the publication again - does it work?
    The error:
    "Cannot open report document. --- Item SI_FALLBACK_LOCALE was not found in the collection."
    suggests there is some kind of mismatch between the locale used in the upgraded CR2011 report and the BI4.0 system.
    Were the XI3.1 environment and the BI4.0 environment installed with the same selection of Language Packs? If not you could bring the BI4.0 system in line with the XI3.1 system in terms of language packs and retest. However as Language Packs can not be added post BI4.0 installation that would require a reinstallation of BI4.0.
    Also if you create a simple test Dynamic Recipient report in BI4.0 does this work? That would at least confirm there is some type of corruption in the migrated BI4.0 Dynamic recipient reports.
    Kind regards,
    John

  • Crystal Reports 2011 and connection to Universe or repository

    Hello,
    i have CRW2011 Beta and Interactive Analysis and want to connect to a created universe (which i created with the univrese designer from Interactive analysis).
    I don't have any SAP Business Objects server etc...
    How can i connect to my created univers. If i try to do, CRW2011 he asks me for a server.
    As i remember a SAP technologist do a statement, that this is possible in CRW2011 but was not possible in earlier versions.
    Or what is the minimum installation base a need on a local machine?
    I need this solution, that i must not declare Business logic for every report again. And this solution should be for
    small-size customers.

    Hi Andreas,
    Universes can only be connected to by logging onto a BOE Server. It's always been this way and I don't recall anyone saying that has changed. BOE 4.0 is using a new Universe file name and format so any older Universes will be upgraded.
    As for off line Universe support that won't be supported in the current release and I don't recall anyone telling me it will ever be.
    Who told you you could?
    Thank you
    Don

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply.  I followed the other link and it didn't help my current situation.
    Is there a link for paid support .. all I need to do is the following for a client:
    1) Install Crystal report 2011 on a Microsoft 2008 Server R2.. my error message is above.
    Resolve the error on start up of Crystal reports..
    It's already been over 1 week .. and I can't seem to get a live person on SAP that can help me... once this is resolved I think I will be ok.
    I have CR XI on running on another server with no issues.. I don't know if the above is due to a service pack issue, security issue on installation, ...  its a production server so I just want to resolve this quick.
    Any help you can give me on getting alive person that I can talk to will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

  • Error installing crystal reports 2011

    I am trying to install crystal reports 2011 and I keep getting an error that I need administrative priviliges to continue.  I am the administrator and i have tried running as administrator.  Why does this keep giving me this error.  I am running the 32 bit version of windows 7.  I have .net 4 installed.

    Ah, worth a try.... Likely your IT guys burn images all from the same master or using the same CD's DVD's to install from. I have installed it on various OS, XP, Windows 7, Vista, 2008 32 and 64 bits and no problems. But they are clean also, no third party app's pre-installed other than Visual Studio 2010. And My PC at home has just about everything on it an no issues with it either...
    I can't say why then. I suggest you purchase a [support case|http://store.businessobjects.com/store/bobjamer/DisplayProductByTypePage&parentCategoryID=&categoryID=38156200] and get into the Report Design queue and get them to get more info from you. Logs and other files cannot be attached to Forums.
    It appears to be known issues and they are working on getting it resolved. It likely is a missing dependency or some version specific dependency we and you may have a newer version. In either case you can get a refund.
    Or wait until SP 2 comes out and hope your specific issue is fixed.
    Thanks again

  • Crystal Reports 2011 INS00140 error

    I have been unsuccessful in installing Crystal Reports 2011.  After I enter my name, company name, and key, it will pop up with the error after 30 to 45 seconds of waiting.  I am uncertain if I have to uninstall Crystal Reports 2008.  I have spoken to technical support.  They gave me a few things to try however, the end result was the same.  They mentioned to go back to the distributor and get another CD Key.  I am not certain if that would even matter at this point considering I am not getting that type of error.
    PC Spec:
    Dell Precision T3500
    Windows 7 Enterprise w/SP1
    4GB memory
    Intel Xeon W3550
    Steps taken:
    1.  Downloaded latest files from SAP (53005711 and 51041020)
    2.  Made certain I did not have the MS KB2467175 update
    3.  Installed Visual Studio Pro 2010
    Please let me know what else I can do to get this on my system short of reinstalling the OS.

    I spoke with Sean Keaney.  This is the email I got:
    Hello,
    Please follow the below steps to install CR 2011.
    Symptom
    The Product keycode is not valid. INS00140 Error appears in Validation Result window during Crystal Reports 2011 installation
    Environment
    Crystal Reports 2011 (patch level below SP02)
    Reproducing the Issue
    1.     Run Crystal Reports 2011 setup.exe
    2.     Enter valid keycode when prompted
    3.     
    Cause
    This is known issue and fixed in ADAPT01538339.
    There is a conflict between keycode validation process and Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Patch KB2467175
    Resolution
    The issue has been resolved in SP02, but as a quick fix uninstall the Microsoft patch, install Crystal Reports 2011 and reinstall the patch.
    The link for patch download: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=2467175
    Update: According to the latest information Microsoft replaced the patch with a newer security update.

  • Difference between Crsytal Report 2011 and Crystal Report for Enterprise 4

    difference between Crystal Report 2011 and Crystal Report for Enterprise 4.0?
    I think Crystl Reprt 2011 has more function, is it right?

    Hi,
    I recently attended a SAP Virtual trianing on SAP Business Objects BI 4.0.
    Here are few extracts from that which probably shows some light to you:
    SAP Crystal Reports 2011
    1. UI and associated processing servers remain the same as CR 2008
    2. Incremental update to CR 2008 with a few new features*
    3. Continue to provide current CR 2008 functionality as-is for existing customers
    SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise 4.0
    1. Major update & redesign of the Crystal Reports Designer and associated processing servers
    2. Focus on streamlined report design, reporting against BI 4.0 Universe, & reporting against SAP BW data
    3. Provide the foundation for all future releases of Crystal Reports
    Differences between these two releases:
    Data Source & Usage Type                                       General Recommendation
    1. SAP BusinessObjects BI 4.0                                        SAP Crystal Reports Relational Universe (UNX) for Enterprise

  • Crystal Report 2011- SAP Data Sources: CL - no items found

    Background:
    SAP ECC 6.0 was purchased three years ago with DSD package. Only FI and SD modules are in use. Accounts download data filesfrom SAP to produce spreadsheet reports. Few user trust these numbers. We are setup as "SAP in the Cloud" model- Listening to constant user complaints, it seems SAP is broken. Interim solution: Crystal Report for everyone.
    Encouraged by Ingo Hilgefort papers and Crystal Report Forum:
    We decided to deploy Crystal Report 2011 and Business Object XI 3.1 with SP4 for our small user community. These software are installed on local XP laptop and Business Object XI 3.1 installed in the SAP server as well.
    Problem Description:
    The desktop user cannot see SAP infosets or tables contents. When connect to the data sources. After user login, she can navigate to expand the data source CL.- displays "no items found ". I can reproduce this error. Using the Crystal Report wizard and selecting various data sources such as: SAP Table, Cluster and Functions: CL, DD and FN category only DD and FN display items.
    Current Environment: SAP in the Cloud.
    SAP Server::ECC 6.0 EhP3 dual stack. Database MSSQL, OS 2008 Server, Business Object Intergration Kit 3.1, Remote Acces VPN.
    Desktop Environment: Crystal Report 2011: SP1, Business Object Xi 3.1, XP SP3
    Surprise: Clicking on either DD and FN tab inside the connector window in Crystal- it expands and displays tables and content reference but not CL.
    Questions: Do we have to move to EhP5 for the CRX 2011 to work ? What is wrong: ? Any help will be appreciated?
    This question is for Ingo H. How to convince SAP hosting company otherwise to solve our problem ? Is is desktop problem or Host side configuration ?

    Ahmad
    K900687 is Open SQL Connectivity transport and required for direct SAP tables connectivity, so you need it, but I am not sure if the warning message relevant to your problem. Sometimes warning is just a warning.
    You can see other objects in DD, but not in CL, it means the connection works. You probably do not have required authorisations to see objects.
    I would suggest to review the Authorisation section of SAP Integration Kit Installation Guide here:
    [http://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700000559912010E/xi31_sp3_bip_sap_inst_en.pdf ]
    You may also check what is the differences between DD and CL in terma of authorizations.
    If you think CR 2011 is broken, then test CR 2008. Is still available for free 30-days trial download here:
    [http://www12.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx]
    , but you would need to add SAP Integration Kit to it.

  • Crystal Reports export and print fails with SSL / https but works with http

    Windows 2008 Server, 32-bit (IIS7)
    ASP.NET 2.0
    Ajax 1.0
    Crystal Reports version 10.5.3700.0
    http:  printing works, export works
    https:  printing not working, only export to MS Excel and MS Word work.
    I am able to generate reports using both http and https, and the toolbar icons are all showing.  However, I am unable to print or export properly with SSL.
    Printing prompts me with a select printer window, and then a window 'Retrieving Page 1' follow by two messages from Crystal Print Control both stating:

    Exporting generates various errors depending on which export method is being selected (however Excel and Word work over https).
    I've found the same problem on this site and other forums, but never a resolution to get exporting and printing to work with SSL.  Will someone please provide me assistance or possibly relay what settings they're using if they have Crystal Reports export or printing working over SSL in IIS7?  Everything works fine when I change the address from https to http.
    Please let me know if I can help by providing further information.  We've gone through a great deal of possible solutions with code and I'm currently looking in to IIS settings again.
    Thank you.

    Thanks Ludek. I got it by searching KB number.
    Unfortunately, it didn’t fix my problem even my IE (IE8 and IE 9) has correct setting.  I double check my version. PrintControl.CAB is version 10.2.0.1146. we use VS 2005 Crystal report and VB .NET. It works fine on HTTP. But when we use HTTPS (SSL Certificate from go daddy).

  • How to automatically/programmatically "publish" reports for local users of Crystal Reports 2011?

    Hi,
      I'm not sure if I'm using the correct Crystal Reports terminology here, so apologies in advance.
      We've got Crystal Reports 2011 and are developing an application which comes with a number of report files (.rpt) as part of its installation. These reports are used to provide a view onto the database that our application writes to.
      Is it possible to automatically manage the collection of reports that are available to users of the Crystal Reports application? Ideally this would be done as part of our application's installation/upgrade procedure. In the case of upgrades, it is possible that some report files may be modified, some removed and others added. (i.e. as the application database's underlying schema is modified or new features added/deprecated).
      I believe this could be achieved manually by starting up Crystal Reports and adding and removing reports to/from the Workbench, but we'd like this list of reports to be available to all users on the PC (Crystal Reports is installed on the same PC as our application), and for the update procedure to be something that was automatically scriptable or programmable in something like .NET.
      I've read about the Repository (which sounds like a solution to making reports available for all users), but suspect that this is only usable after some other product(s) has been installed? I'm not entirely sure what products they would be.
      Could you please let us know whether this can be achieved with the version of Crystal Reports we've got, and if so, how?
      The version of Crystal we have is: SAP BusinessObjects, CR Developer, Version 14.0.4.738 RTM, Product Type: Full
      Many thanks in advance,
        -Nige

    CR 2011 does not install any SDK... You can however download SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio, which is an SDK that will let you work with VS 2010 and 2012.
    You will then have to decide if you want to use the Crystal Reports SDK or the InProc RAS SDK.

  • Merge files or redist installer for Crystal Reports 2011

    I cannot find packages for merge files or installer for the redistribution files for Crystal Reports 2011. I have found them only for older versions. In the download section there is somewhere a hint that they are at a different position but no information where.

    Hi Don,
    thank you. It is ok using the files you indicated me. But there are still some doubts.
    What does happen on a machine where a designer 2011 (internal version 14) is installed and an application that uses the dlls for Visual Studio 2010 (internal version 13). Does this work without problems?
    In a readme for the redistributables for Visual Studio 2010  I have found the following text which I cannot interprete:
    If you have installed Crystal Reports 2011 or any of the SAP BusinessObjects XI 4.0 products,
    you may notice that their installation contains the same "Crystal Reports 2011" and "SAP
    BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0" folders as you see in this folder.  Please note that the
    folder/files names may be the same but most files have a different version, and are not
    compatible with the Crystal Reports 2011 or SAP BusinessObjects XI 4.0 products.
    Currently we want to upgrade our programs from Crystal Reports 9 to 2011 and we have many installations where for one machine the Crystal Reports Designer is needed together with our applications.

  • SAP Crystal Reports 2011 - Product keycode

    Dear all,
    I have been requested to install SAP Crystal Reports 2011 to use it as a reporting tool for our SAP ERP 6.0.
    However, I got stuck when the installation program asks me for the "Product Keycode". Does anybody know if there is a temporary product keycode so we can evaluate this product before purchasing it?If so, where is it?
    Once SAP Crystal Reports 2011 is successfully installed, do we need to install anything else in order to set up the connection between SAP Crystal Reports 2011 and SAP ERP 6.0?
    Thanks in advance,
    Marc

    Since someone on your site obtained CR 2011, they should also have a permanent keycode...
    Failing that, the only way to get a 30 day temp  eval keycode is from here;
    http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx
    But you will still have to go back to who ever obtained your current CR 2011 and ask them for a permanent keycode.
    Re. Connection to SAP ERP 6.0. You're better off asking in the SAP Crystal Reports Database Connectivity|SAP Crystal Reports - Data Connectivity; forum rather than in this forum.

  • Crystal Reports for VS2010 versus Crystal Reports 2011

    I'm not exactly new to CR, however, I have been away from it for a while and am now being tasked to work with this product again. Alot has changed in that period of time. I'm currently using Visual Studio 2010 and I have learned that Crystal Reports is no longer integrated within Visual Studio but available from SAP as a free download as Crystal Reports 2010 and will essentially be a plug in to the Visual Studio 2010 development environment once installed.
    In my effort to find a sample database as well as any additional documentation related to Crystal Reports 2010, I'm finding and/or seeing a lot of information related to Crystal Reports 2011 and little or nothing related to Crystal Reporst 2010.
    1. Is CR2011 a seperate, stand-alone product versus CR2010, which is now a seperate download and plug in product to VS2010?
    2. Are there any sample databases, sample reports, sample .NET code available for CR2010?
    3. Do I have it all wrong and CR2010 is really CR2011 and SAP is just trying to confuse everybody?

    Hi Marlon,
    1. Is CR2011 a seperate, stand-alone product versus CR2010, which is now a seperate download and plug in product to VS2010?
    CR 2011 is the Full standalone Report Designer, no SDK with it. The CR for VS 2010 is the plugin that was shipped within the VS .NET as an included plug-in , you just have to install it separately with VS 2010. The complimentary SDK is in CR for VS 2010 which has the matching CR 2011 report Designer.
    2. Are there any sample databases, sample reports, sample .NET code available for CR2010?
    No, but you can use the ones from our download page: These are for[ CR XI R2|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100005852352008E/cr_xi_xtreme_rep_smpl_en.zip] and is based on the old reports that you are familiar with.
    For sample code see this [page|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/CrystalReportsSDKSampleApplications], lots of them available.
    RAS is the new Report Designer RCAPI SDK and you can find the help for the SDK from the same page you downloaded the installer.
    3. Do I have it all wrong and CR2010 is really CR2011 and SAP is just trying to confuse everybody?
    We are trying to confuse everyone... just kidding. It's the way the latest builds are released. CR 2011 has no SDK and CR for VS 2010 is the SDK for CR 2011.
    You'll also notice that CR for VS 2010 is version 13 and CR 2011 is version 14 which matches Business Objects Enterprise Version 4.0
    Thanks
    Don
