Crystal Reports 8.5 "Invalid TLV" after reinstall

Good morning,
We had a billing machine that was using Crystal Reports 8. The hard drive died, we reinstalled the OS, reinstalled Crystal, and now we're getting errors when trying to open old reports "Invalid TLV Record."
I've tried the steps below:
u2022         Ensure the crystal report versions match. (i.e., the version in which the report has been created has to match the version at the client's workstation.)
u2022         If the versions are the same and you still get the error, it could be due to a "copy paste mismatch". Try copying the .rpt file in a different location and then running it.
u2022         If this does not solve the problem, check for the presence of important dll files in the client computer.
I tried this step, but I have a feeling the error may be fixed somewhere in this step
Still can't get anything to work and I need some help - Please and Thanks!
-JB

This is quite peculiar - reason being there was only 1 machine in our ENTIRE organization running Crystal Reports (and of course was NOT backed up) with all of the documents saved locally.
Is it possible there is a missing service pack that would keep the reports from opening?
I got a little more info from the folks who actually run the reports - the reports we are having problems opening are the web reports.
We're able to pull up the apps and run them against the server to get our queries. For another week we are unable to test the creation of a web report (since we don't have all the information to put into Crystal, yet), but it's on the agenda.
Is there a special report viewer that we can use to view these .RPT web reports?

Crystal Report Viewer is not appearing after hosting on server

Dear Friends
I developed a web application in Visual Studio 2010, and my Database is SQL Server 2008 R2.
I created reports using Crystal Report 13 in Visual Studio and my Operating System is Windows 7 32-Bit.
All reports are running fine at my machine.
When I copied published folder into "wwwroot" folder and hosted, all reports are working Good.
Here i have my web application in "Default Web Sites" in IIS.
Then After I added a new website in IIS with a port No. and created a virtual folder and hosted my web application.
The application is running fine, But the problem is Reports are not appearing on Web Page.
I have created an toolbar to export the report. And when I am exporting the report to PDF, It is working well and reports are exported successfully.
I didn't understand why this is happening?
Is this a problem of port no. ?
or
Is this a problem of IIS?
or
Is this a problem of Browser?
or
Is this a problem with CrystalReportViewer?
or
something else?
In fact I have the folder for "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet_client\system_web\4_0_30319\crystalreportviewers13". for crystal reports.
Dear All kindly help me in this issue, it is disturbing me since 5 days.
All helps are appreciable.

My Crystal Reports Abruptly shuts-down Immediately after opening

When I launch Crystal Reports 2008, the program open and load normally but as soon as it's finished loading it closes immedaitrely. This issue just started yesterday, Dec 22nd, 2010. I haven't really been using the program yet. I am just finishing reading up on it to get myself familiar with the program before I drove in to it. Now I can't even get the program to open up. I have no idea what happened. I really do need some help here.
Thanks.

aojiku01,
the problem is with the cookies. That is the cause of the script-error on the Start Page while opening.
In IE - Internet Options - Privacy - Websites - add domain "businessobjects.com"
and the problem has gone.
There is No need to uncheck "Check for updates on startup"
And there is No need to disable "Show online resources"

The ODBC datasource must be configured as a System datasource. The database was configured as a User datasource so it was only visible on the local computer. That's why Business Views Manager could access the database.

Crystal Report Viewer GroupTree no Hyperlink after disable SeparatePages

Hello,
This problem has puzzeled me enough. I would really appreciate any help i can get.
First my environment is ASP.NET VS.NET using VB.NET
When i set the "Separate Pages" property to "True" i get hyperlinks in the group tree. The hyperlinks drills down to the specific item. However, if the "Separate Pages" property set ot false, I lose the hyperlinks in the group tree. Any ideas why or how to resolve this issue?
Thanks.

Sorry, the web / win question was quite silly of me to ask.
Since you do not have any service packs, let's start with that. SP 1 is here:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009351512008E/crbasic2008sp1.exe
I did try to reproduce the issue with CR 2008 and .NET 2008 and there this works as expected. I don't have CR 10.5 image running right now, but try the SP and if that does not work I'll test that version. Just an FYI; It may be that this is something that will need to be fixed for CR 10.5. Fixes normally take 6+ months so if this is reproducible after SP 1 is applied, you'll have to consider your options.

Invalid TLV Record - Crystal Report XI R2

Hi I am getting "Invalid TLV Record" when opening crystal report on production server. After recycling the application pool the problem getting solved.
Event viewer Shows this error:
Error: File /CrystalReports/Viewer/ASP/RDCrptserver11.asp Unexpected error. A trappable error (E06D7363) occurred in an external object. The script cannot continue running..
Crystal Report XI developer edition was installed in the production server and with out unistalling the XI version we deployed the XI R2(side by side installation) using CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msi - Service Pack4 for .Net( for exporting as pdf) and RDC Compnents using Crystal Report XI R2 Service pack 4 Merge modules
Reports are showing using ActiveX Viewer with classic ASP in our ASP.Net 2.0 Application.
But the reports are still using Crystal Report XI RDC not XI R2 RDC because the XI RDC Viewer was already installed in users machines.
Thanks in advance

Please re-post if this is still an issue to the Legacy Application Development SDKs Forum or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly

Crystal report not shown after application idle time

i have a web page which uses around 10 session variables to store values on a button click.and after assign session values Response.Redirect("~/url",false); to a a page which contains crystal report viewer.and report should show those session values.after keeping the application idle for 45 mins i click on the button which assign session values.then it's redirecting to the report page but the report is not shown.it shows a empty page and no errors shown(only happens application is idle for nearly 45 mins other wise works fine)
i'm using iis 7
in the web.config i have set sessionState timeout="60" and application pool idle time out to 60 mins.
any idea why this happens

Make sure you are on SP 8
Make sure you are using .Close and .Dispose on your report objects as you get done with them.
What OS? (2003, 2008, 2012)
Provide more info on the following:
The problem is that the Crystal Report Viewer does not load after a few hours.

Crystal Report (RDC) doesn't print correctly, after Printer change ?

There are problems with the page format and the color settings for the new printer !
It should be resolved with ADAPT01104291 FixPack3.8
Description: Crystal reports may not print properly after users change printers by using the SelectPrinter command from the Report Designer Component (RDC). The cause of the problem is that the incorrect DEVMODE structure size is allocated to the print job.
We are using CRXI_R2_SP5_Upgrade: ProductID=11.5.11.1470.2.26.Patch
but we still have the problems !

Hello Don, thank you for your extensive answer. The PCL printer of HP is not the trouble maker. The problem is obviously replicable with any other Printer Driver (Espon/Sharp/Kycocera a. s. o.) I only installed this PCL Printer Driver of course you mentioned it in your example before.
Okay, let's talk about the Devcap-Program and there Information about the paper source of a printer. Even in Visual Basic it's possible to get those Information by Win-API-Call's. Here they are:
PrinterID: , AusgabeName: , TreiberName: , Port: LPT1:, TrackDefault: , PaperSize:
Papier-Schächte:
Automatisch auswählen, Nr: 15
Automatische Druckeraus, Nr: 262
Schacht 1, Nr: 261

12x18, Nr: 131
9x12, Nr: 132
C4, Nr: 133
Maximum 11,7 x 17,7, Nr: 134
and even set those Information for the RDC-Sturcture, so there is a solution for the setting of the paper size.
But there is not solution for the setting of the color nor the further page settings (Printing onesided or bothsided a.s.o.)
I can change the default windows printer settings but that has no effect on the RDC-Print ! So I think, there must be a solution by the Crystal-Report-Design-printing-DLL (craxdrt.dll) !

Web Crystal Report not working after period of time

Hi
I have had a problem for a long time now on one of our web servers, it's becoming more of an issue lately due to a web site using Crystal more. The problem is that the Crystal Report Viewer does not load after a few hours. If I re ship the main DLL into the Bin folder for the site, then something gets 'reset', and hey presto, Crystal starts working again.
The problem would even arise with a basic CR, with just one Textfield on it (i.e. not show)
Web server is 32 bit Windows Server Web Edition SP 2. Asp.Net project built in VS 2012 against .Net 4.0.
Anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks,
Julian

Make sure you are on SP 8

Unable To Print or Access Page Setup in Crystal Reports 2008

I have Win 7 32 bit, and installed Crystal Reports 2008 last week (v12.0.0.683 from the Help window).
Every time I open a report, and from the Preview tab clicking File -> Print, or File - > Page Setup, I immediately receive a Windows message that "Crystal Reports has stopped working". After a few seconds, another Windows message displays "Crystal Reports has stopped working - a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available". Then Crystal completely closes.
I downloaded sample reports from the BO website, and still receive the error, so I don't think it's the report.
When I view the Event Log, I see the following:
Faulting application name: crw32.exe, version: 12.0.0.683, time stamp: 0x47c8be9a
Faulting module name: ntdll.dll, version: 6.1.7600.16385, time stamp: 0x4a5bdadb

Faulting module path: C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll
Report Id: 3cfc99e6-8bb8-11e0-b8ef-00248122792c
I have uninstalled and reinstalled CR 2008 multiple times and continue to receive the same error. I tried updating to SP1 (Version 12.1.0.892 Incremental) but I receive the following error: "A BusinessObjects product at a lower patch level is detected. The installation cannot continue. Please update all installed products to the SP1 patch level, then restart this installation".
Need to print my reports - any ideas?

Sorry busy on Support cases and they take precedence over this community forum.
Very interesting....
In a test application I use I have this routine to get the local printers:
private void frmMain_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
     if (System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters.Count > 0)
          foreach(String myPrinter in System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters )
               cboCurrentPrinters.Items.Add(myPrinter);
          cboCurrentPrinters.SelectedIndex = 0;
     else
          rdoCurrent.Enabled = false;
          EnableDisableCurrentControls(false);
     //For printers exposed to System account as per MS Kbase
     //http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;184291
     //Look to HKEY_USERS\.Default\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Devices
     Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey mySystemPrinters =
          Microsoft.Win32.Registry.Users.OpenSubKey(@".DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Devices");
     foreach (String defaultPrinters in mySystemPrinters.GetValueNames())
          cboDefaultPrinters.Items.Add(defaultPrinters);
     if (cboDefaultPrinters.Items.Count > 0)
          cboDefaultPrinters.SelectedIndex = 0;
     else
          rdoDefault.Enabled = false;
Note the MS Kabse on where the printer registry is. Now the odd part is on one of my test development PC's it won't populate the Default User Printer list, only the Local User Printers. I take this same app to another PC and it works just fine. The register keys are there but for some reason on my Windows 7 64 bit it won't show them, the other strange part is I have full access to both keys. I have not been able to figure out why this happens...
I'm thinking this may be related to your issue.... But I don't have a solution, very strange... I've even gone into regedit32 and set full permissions on the various keys and it still doesn't work...
I have other VM-ware images if I need to get past that part for testing so I never drilled into why, I believe it has to be some Windows/Firewall/Anti-virus configuration or something our IT department pushed into my local Profile.... What that is I don't know unfortunately.
I'll do some looking and testing. You may want to post this on Microsoft forums as well.... Ask about printer permissions.
Thanks
Don

Crystal Reports Logon Error ("Security Plugin Error")

Hi there,
I have an issue that I haven't been able to resolve for the past couple days. I had to reinstall Crystal Reports XI on a user's computer, and now we can't log into the BusinessObjects Enterprise server from it using LDAP. I have successfully logged in using the Enterprise authentication mode, but not the LDAP authentication mode.
Here was my general trail of attempts:
Completely uninstalled Crystal Reports XI
Installed Crystal Reports XI
Installed Crystal Reports XI SP1
Could not log into BOE using LDAP; received the error "Security plugin error: Failed to set parameters on plugin"
Installed Crystal Reports XI SP2
Could not log into BOE using LDAP; received the error "Security plugin error: Failed to set parameters on plugin" (despite the release notes of SP2 saying that this issue has been resolved)
Installed Crystal Reports XI SP4 (as SP3 was not available on the downloads section of the SAP/BO service portal, and I heard it had a bug)
Could not log into BOE using LDAP; received the error "Security plugin error: Failed to set parameters on plugin"
Installed Crystal Reports XI Hotfix 11
Could not log into BOE using LDAP; received the error "Security plugin error: Failed to set parameters on plugin"
Installed Crystal Reports XI Hotfix 12
Could not log into BOE using LDAP; received the error "Security plugin error: Failed to set parameters on plugin"
I was able to log into InfoView via LDAP on the above workstation.
I've also tried installing Crystal Reports XI, following the same steps as above, on second workstation in order to determine if it was an issue with the first workstation I was addressing. But the second workstation had the same issue. However, I was also able to log into InfoView via LDAP on this second workstation.
I was also able to authenticate just fine on my workstation via Crystal Reports using LDAP, but its Crystal Reports installation took place before I began working here.
I have searched the SAP/BO portal, and I'm still left with the following questions on the following posts:

I am very new to Crystal Reports, so I may have missed something in the installation that would have prevented this. Is there a way to make Crystal Reports "point" to the BOE server via LDAP? I couldn't find anything like this though. Any help you could provide would be great!
Thanks so much in advance!
Bryce

Thanks Tim,
I cannot seem to find Crystal Reports XI Release 1 Service Pack 3. All I can find on the SAP Support Portal (under the Business Objects Support - Software Downloads section) are SP1, SP2, and SP4.
We can access BOE via LDAP from other Crystal clients, and we can access InfoView from other clients also. The client that is having trouble accessing BOE with Crystal Reports via LDAP is able to access InfoView.
Should I try CR XI R1 SP3? If so, could you point me in the right direction to find it?
Thanks!

Error while executing Crystal report in client computers

I got this error message -2147206460 Crystal Reports Activex Designer invalid directory. any idea guys how can i fix this. I tried using Crystal Report viewer in the server and its working perfectly.
thanks

Michael Litiatco
is your report working on SAP from server machine or it only works on Crystal Report on server machine
IF your report is working on SAP server then, the problem is on sharing the .rpt file with client
Place the .rpt file in shared folder whichi is accessable from all the clients then use that .rpt file in SAP CR addon and update it
updating the path from each client system SAP towards shared .rpt file
do you have any firewall installed, try disabling within your network and check
This should Fix your problem
make sure the printer is shared and correct printer is set as default printer
if possible give a test print page from client to make sure the printer is online
