Crystal Reports 2013 (v14.1.1.1036) and Crystal Runtime 13.0.9.1312

Greetings all.
Our organisation currently utilises Crystal Runtime v13.0.9.1312, and we are considering purchasing Crystal Reports 2013 (v14.1.1.1036) for rpt development. My question is weather or not CR 2013 is compatible with our version of runtime? We are not running Crystal Server, and are not running an enterprise solution, and are aware that you can't direct CR to save to earlier versions - although it is backwards compatible read-only.
We upgraded runtime a few weeks ago, so this is the latest version we can find, and note that there doesn't even appear to be an SDK associated with v14. As an aside, is runtime v13.0.9.1312 the latest runtime version, and if not, where can we find the latest version?
Many thanks in advance

Hi Aaron,
Please have a look at these blogs from Ludek:
How do you spell confusion; CR for VS, Crystal 2011, BI 4.x and the .NET SDKs
So, what's up with CR 2011 and .NET SDK - actually, any SDK?
P.S: Both these blogs apply to CR 2013 as well.

Crystal Reports 2013 SP3 crashing

Hello,
We installed Crystal Reports 2013 SP3 to all developers and they have been noticing that Crystal is crashing.
It basically crashes on different scenarios and Crystal freezes and shows the error Crystal Stopped Working.
I have gathered different scenarios like:
1. Report was open, doing nothing when getting error crystal stopped working.
2. Report was open, re-titled a column, saved the file click on refresh button to re-run query with same parameters and got the same error
3. Open the report set parameters for the past month to run it and get error not responding.
We have re-installed Crystal on different computers and the same issue persist, even in Citrix we have noticed this as well.
Has anybody seen this behavior and found any solution for this?
Thanks,
Daniel

Hello,
I got new logs, but shows exactly the same as before. The same error lines
But It failed few minutes ago, around 3.10pm and as you see the log the error show at 1.45, so I'm not sure if it's related to database issue.
I'm checking the database logs and show the same error message coming from multiple desktops (which we believe are all the crystal developers, but this probably means that they sometimes use wrong password for that in their report...)
This is what happened this time:
Crystal 2013 SP3
This time it failed when developer was trying to update a command object, it stopped working
Crystal 2013 SP5
In 1 day it stopped working twice (when you have to close crystal completely), and stopped responding multiple times (screen grays our and shows the stop responding)
Thanks,
Daniel

Unable to save reports to enterprise from Crystal Reports 2013 and Crystal Reports for Enterprise

Dear Expert,
when we tried to save report to enterprise, error happened:
"Failed to find a Report Application Server."
We closed BO server firewall.
We could check report from PC by browser.
But when we save report from CR 2013, then error happened.
Then we install CR enterprise and save report is ok from same PC.
We launch latest patches too.
Anyone see this before? Please kindly help~

April, since you have CR4E, you also have BI and thus free phone support included. My suggestion would be to create a phone incident and work with an SAP engineer on the issue. Only saying because it looks like you're somewhat anxious to get this going(?).

Crystal report 2013 and SAP BO XI R2

Hi Everyone,
I have a question regarding Crystal report 2013 backward compatibility.
Say I use CR2013 to view, modify, and save my CR reports on XI R2.
Is that possible? Is it view-only function that I can use?
Correct me if I asked the question the wrong way.

You won't be able to connect to the XI R2 repository from the CR 2013 designer.
You should this error message:
Error: "Access denied. You cannot log on to an older version of the CMS.
There's also an SAP Note on this.

Redistributable components of crystal report 11 and Crystal Report 2013

Currently we are facing a peculiar problem where we are having a report with 5 tables and connected using the default crystal report db connectivity.
The report was created in a very old version of crystal report 8.5 and we have been migrating the same to latest versions.
When i execute the report from my Application using crystal report 11 run-time components installed it works perfectly (5 Secs). In this we were using the viewer ole control embedded in our application.
But when the same report is opened up from the application using the crystal report 2013 run-time components there is performance lag of 15 Secs every time using the viewer as separate control using C# .net framework 4.0.
Also Installing crystal report 11 run-time and then installing crystal report 2013 run-time resolves the issue.
Can someone let me know if we are missing something.
Thanks & Regards,
Satish VS

Hi Bhushan
Thanks for your prompt reply
- The old application was it a .NET or COM SDK app?
Old application uses the COM SDK App ( CrystalRuntime.Application) developed in VB & consumed the same as an Ole object in Power builder.
- What version of VS are you using? (Earlier and now).
Earlier With Crystal report 11 we were directly deploying the viewer as ole control in our Powerbuilder application
Now we are using VS2010 with .net framework 4.0 as separate viewer control
- Is this a windows or a web application?
Its an windows application
- Provide the version no of CR 11 you used earlier?
Old Application uses crystal report 11.0.0.1282
- There are no runtimes for crystal report 2013, so could you please provide the version no for the crystal report 2013 runtimes you are using? You could check the file version of crystaldesicions.crystalreport.engine assembly.
Yes we are using crystaldecision run-time and the version is 13.0.2000.0 & Runtime version - v2.0.50727
- As runtimes, did you use MSM, MSi or ClickOnce CR runtimes do deploy your application?
We were using this CRRuntime_32bit_13_0.msi as a pre-requisite before deploying our application.
-Also, if you could elaborate on how did you upgrade / migrate the application and deployed it, would be helpful.
In my old application we would be using the default crystal report 11 merge module to be deployed alongwith our application msi.
To upgrade they would install the CRRuntime_32bit_13_0.msi and then deploy our application msi.
Please let me know if you need any further information.
Thanks in advance.

See the SAP Crystal Reports 2013 Product Availability Matrix (PAM), page 9 and download the doc linked to there. According to that doc, Lotus Notes is now only supported via ODBC only.
Also, the search string 'lotus crystal 2013' (search box in top right corner) brings up the following KBA:

Cannot load report from server in Crystal Reports 2013 Viewer

Hello,
I am having trouble opening a report that is hosted on a Crystal Reports Server (2013) from the Crystal Viewer. I've created and uploaded the reports using the report designer (version 2013). The reports have been uploaded using the "Save As -> Enterprise" to save to my enterprise server. This part works fine. I then navigated to the Crystal Reports Viewer to open my report (that I just uploaded w/ the designer) from the server. Depending on the report, one of two things happens:
1.) I get a loading bar at the bottom right of the screen that says "Operation in progress . . ." followed by an error message:
Unable to Refresh Report
A problem occurred while refreshing on the server. The report may not be configured properly for refresh.
Please contact your server administrator. (me)
2.) I get a loading bar at the bottom right of the screen that says "Refreshing <file name of the report> (<server name>)" followed by... nothing. The loading bar goes away and nothing happens. It goes back to the screen that shows when the application first loads (blank canvas).
I've taken some basic troubleshooting steps to try and rule out any potential issues that came to mind, but I've not been successful.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

SAP tab in Crystal Reports 2013 issue

We are using SAP Crystal Reports 2013 SP3 to build reports on BEX queries (BW 7.2). Creating a report via 'File' --> New connection --> BW MDX driver works fine, I can select bex queries & cubes and see the data. However SAP provided tab 'SAP' does not work as expected. When adding a new bex query using SAP--> Create new report from a query, I can see the list of queries and select one but it does not open and throws the following error -
"An error occurred while generating a new report templete.
No error"
Using the "File" option any change to the .rpt file forces BO admin to update "DB logon" information in CMC (currently i cannot save .rpt file directly on enterprise from Crystal client due to some issue) and we want to avoid this kind of maintainence using SAP authentication provided by using SAP tab, also the Crysal report prompts when run from BI launch pad request for prompt values twice (once for the report and once to pull list of values for each prompt) which can be avoided using SAP tab. I thought access to dev BW server is fine since the "File" tab works fine. Our BASIS team confirmed BOBJ dev servers have access to BW gateway. Am I missing something here, please help me with your experience and ideas to troubleshoot this as the only solution i could google was from a 2012 SAP recommended article to fix reginfo configuration files on SAP server
I reinstalled Crystal Reports client twice to make sure intallation was not the issue.
Thanks

Where is the Manage Object function in Crystal Reports 2013 for the CMC?

I recently upgraded to Crystal Reports 2013 after upgrading our Crystal Reports server to SAP Business Objects Platform 4.1. Before the upgrade, I could publish reports from Crystal Reports XI to the CMC then right-click on the report title in the Repository Explorer (in Crystal Reports) and I had the option to select Manage Object where I could set the default settings for the CMC. I am not seeing this option in the new version of Crystal Reports. Is there something I need to do to see this option or has this option been removed from Crystal Reports 2013?

Hi Kelley,
You're right, the option doesn't exist in CR XI R2 and above.
All the options now need to be set in CMC.

Regarding Crystal Reports 2013 SP1/SP3 runtime distribution clafrifications

Hi,
We are in process of migrating exsisting Crystal Reports from CR 2008 SP4 to CR 2013 SP1/SP3.
Iam unable to find the corresponding msms for the same for runtime distribution (to install on end user Boxs).
Can see latest as v.13.0.13.1597 (_http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-7824)
Please help out link where I can download msi (or msms) for Crystal Reports 2013 SP1/SP3 runtimes that need to be deployed on user PCs.
Also need advise
( i ) Can we install both runtimes (CR 2008 SP4 and CR 2013 SP1) on user PC at same time?
( ii ) We have already deployed CR 2008 SP4 runtimes on user PCs, is that sufficient? or do we need to install any other runtime?
( iii ) Will CR 2013 SP1 support old CR 2008 SP4 ?
Thanks & Regards,
Rajeshwar Rao

Crystal 2013 does not come with the SDK, instead you have to download Crystal for Visual Studio AND update your code to use it. You can't just install one of the .msi files or the .msm file (which are all available at the link you show above) and expect it to work with existing code.

Modify SQL query in Crystal Reports 2013

Bonjour,
Je voulais savoir s'il était possible de modifier la requête SQL dans Crystal Reports 2013, car les bases de données de notre application pour bibliothèque utilise un format de date particulier qu'il nous faut corriger directement dans la requête SQL.
Merci pour vos informations.
Cordialement
Claude Marcilly
Cannes - France
Hello,
I wanted to know if it was possible to modify the SQL query in Crystal Reports 2013. Databases of our application library indeed use a particular date format that we need to fix directly into the SQL query.
Thank you for your information.
Best regards
Claude Marcilly
Cannes - France

Hi Claude,
If you are creating reports using tables then go in Database menu and click on show SQL query, this will show the SQL generated by crystal reports. Now go in database expert and expend your connection and double click on Add Command and past the query which was generated by Crystal and try to modify the date format and click OK.
Now you need to redesign your reports based on Add command.
or
If your reports datasource is Add command you can directly go in add command and change it.

Which version of crystal reports can link to Windev 14 and SQL server 2008 applications

I am developing an application with windev 14 and sql server 2008, i would like to know which version of crystal report can i use?

Hi GS,
Move to .NET SDK forum.
I don't know how CR for Visual Studio will integrate into WinDev but to get the installer for VS 2010/2012/2013 go to this page:
SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio: Updates & Runtime Downloads
It's the runtime for CR 2011 or 2013 now.
As for SQL 2008 you need to install the Client tools and when creating reports use the SQLNCLI10.dll as the client DB driver for ODBC or OLE DB.

Crystal Reports 2013 java-error "java.lang.ClassCastException: class com.crystaldecisions..." when promoting

Hi,
when promoting "Crystal Report 2013" report (with data connectivity BW MDX Query) from BO DEV to BO PROD with BO Promotion Mgmt (LCM), we get the following error message in LCM jobs history:
Resolution Status=Overwritten, Dependency Status=All the required dependencies are included.,
Commit Status=Commit attempted and failed.,
Promotion Status=Failure : Object promoted. Update failed.
Error: java.lang.ClassCastException: class com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ByteArray:java.net.URLClassLoader@1d634758 incompatible
with class com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.PropertyBag:java.net.URLClassLoader@1d634758
The report itself is present on BO PROD, but the overwrite (BW DEV MDX Query-> BW PROD MDX Query) is not applied, so report connectivity still points to the BW Query on the development system :-( .
Moreover, the overwrite itself is detected when the job is "test promoted" ("active overwrite").
Before, we successfully were able to transport crystal reports 2013 with overwrite (the connection then pointed to BW PROD). No idea yet what suddenly changed that...
Any ideas what causes the error and what can fix it (no posts found, no SAP note, google also no hits)?
Best regards
Florian Pitschi

Update:
After more investigation, it looks as if the BO Server "CrystalReports2013ReportApplicationServer"
from time to time has an issue - not only when promoting, but also when viewing publications that contain Crystal Report documents or when executing them, the java class error or similar issue is thrown.
Did sb face similar behaviour and knows what is the root cause for "CrystalReports2013ReportApplicationServer" not working probably and throwing the java-class error? - it was running fine for several months, now, the class error showed up twice in one month.
We need to find out what is causing the issue (aleady checked tomcat and BO-logfiles...).
Best Regards
Florian
