Crystal Reports 9.0 in CRM 1.2

Post Author: anuradan
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Hello,
I'm currently using CRM 1.2 Action Pack which we bought in 2005. Crystal Reports 9.0 installed in CRM 1.2 was working for a while. But now its not working. Can anyone help me in figuring out how to solve this issue?
This is little urgent...
Thanks
Anu

I would suggest using the Report Application Server(RAS) . RAS is a server which allows you to customize reports at runtime, just like you would in the Crystal Reports Designer. Most of the customization APIs are exposed which would allow you to add/remove database fields at runtime depending on the choices your end-users select. Business Objects also offers an out-of-the-box solution which essentially wraps these APIs called Ad-Hoc reporting. The Ad-Hoc application provides the end-user with a DHTML report creation page, allowing them to connect to a datasource and drag-and-drop the fields they would like to display into the appropriate sections. It also allows the user to add summaries and graphs. However, as I said above, this application wraps the exposed APIs so all of the functionality contained in Ad Hoc is available to any developer with access to the RAS jar files.
For more information on using RAS I would check out the following PDF:
http://support.businessobjects.com/communityCS/TechnicalPapers/ceras9_java_getting_started.pdf
You can also download some sample code from the following URL:

Hope this helps

Crystal Reports access to SAP/CRM 6.0 with Integration with SAP Solutions

Hello,
we are running Crystal Reports 2008 with SAP CRM 6.0.
To boost productivity or Report writeing we need especially access to:
- Function Modules
- the CRM Business Objects Repository (Transaction SW01).
What kind of SAP/CRM ( or SAP / ERP ) Objects can be accessed with the Integration for
SAP Solutions ?
The BO Documentation [BusinessObjects XI Integration for SAP Solutions User's Guide|http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31SP2/en/xi31_sp2_bip_sap_user_en.pdf] does not give a clue if this is possible.
However, Ingo Hilgefort stated in his book that it is at least possible to access ABAP Functions, SAP Querries and SAP InfoSets.
What is the minimum product portfolio and the necessary Version - Can I install the following products stand alone ?
Crystal Reports 2008
Integration for SAP Solutions
Tomcat / Jaco
or
Must I need at minimum BO Edge and must install the CMS Server ?
Thank You
Martin

Crystal Reports with MSY in CRM 2007

Hi there
We had built some reports for CRM Mobile Sales 3.0/4.0 with Crystal Reports in Mobile System Maintanance. Then we upgraded to CRM 2007 and some people still use this old reports. Now we have found an error in one of the reports. When I want to modify the report in MSY I get the error "Error while modifying report; try again". I chose the report in MSY and I click on "Modify Report". Then I get this error and nothing happens.
Is it possible that you can't edit Crystal Reports with MSY and CRM 2007 anymore? I found no information about this, so I hope someone can help me.
What do we have to do to let Crystal Reports work with MSY in CRM 2007?
Thanks in advance for your answers!
Regards
Marco

Hi Marco,
You might get this error if the reports were developed in CRM 3.0 and you want to modify in 4.0 because the dataconnection is different. I know there is some stuff on the marketplace which describes how to connect.
May be it is a login issue and note 756331 helps.
Btw. are you working for ASK in Koblenz CH?

Dear all expert,
There is a report in CRM PRD which our ABAP programmer had did one which is complicated and invovlving FM and method. but since we had purchase BOBJ, we would like to develop this report by using crystal report. Is it possible?
Thank You.

hi Stratos and Ido.
Stratos, i had try to develop 2 report and had figure out on how to do it soon. but now i have another CRM report that need to be done first for the use of marketing meeting next week. The report is 90% done where there is one field which make my report cant be finish. once i put that field into the report, it return me all the values contain in it. This causing other field follow to duplicate as well. The situation is as below:
without that field, my report goes(A B C D is the field header):
A B C D
1   II $ +
2   I % -
The field from table TJ30T(E is the field header):
E
a
b
c
When i try to put the E field into my report:
A B C D E
1   II $ + a
1   II $ + b
1   II $ + c
2   i % - a
2   i % - b
2   i % - c
I had check the linkages, there is only one key linking which is CRM_JEST.ESTAT - > TJ30T.STAT. How to overcome the situation as i mention above?
Thank You.

Crystal Reports not editable from Mobile Sales in CRM 7.0

Hello Experts,
We are using Crystal Reports in 4.0 and they are working well. I can open the reports in report Designer and can check all the details.
Now we have performed a upgrade from 4.0 to 7.0 and getting some issue while executing one of the reports. To analyze that, we have installed Crystal Reports 9 (same version is being used for 4.0 as well) on the MAR/MDW box. But when I try to do "Modify Report" from Report Maintenance /Details tile set (in MSY), I am getting an error "Error while modifying report, try again".
Anyone has seen this error before? Could you please advise what is wrong here? Is it a problem with database connectivity or something else? Thanks in advance.
Regards
Pijush

Hi Pijush,
I faced this kind of issue when modifying a report in CRM 5.0. Its nothing to do with the version.
May be, the reports in MSY, are not imported properly on MDW.
My suggestion is export the reports into a .car file where this is working and make sure there are no errors when create a .car file.
Import the .car file into the system where you want to modify the report.
Do not import the same .car file again and again if it fails for the first time. If it fails, then create a new .car file from the system and follow that import process.
I do not have access to any MDW system now, otherwise I could suggest you better.
Check this link [Export Manger in MSY|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm700_ehp01/helpdata/en/45/da8be986ef3b34e10000000a114a6b/frameset.htm]. It might help.

Report works in Crystal Reports, but not when scheduled in Crystal Server

Hi,
I have a pretty simple report designed in Crystal Reports 2008. Basically it shows a list of call notes (memo field) from customer activities in our CRM system. The report works fine in Crystal reports, but when run or scheduled in Crystal Server 2008 the output is always blank. Furthermore, the page format etc. is "lost" in crystal server, so that the output is PDF of a quadratic blank sheet (not my standard A4 format)... Exporting to other formats - excel, Word etc. all gives the same result.
I have tried to strip out various formulas, formatting etc from the report, but nothing helps. Which leads me to thinking that the real problem is that the report contains a memo field? Anyone else had this problem?

Edited by: Claus Poulsen on Nov 9, 2010 3:34 PM

Hi Claus,
I've had issues between what Crystal does and what the Report Server does. To resolve this, we found out Crystal Reports 2008 latest service pack has some things that will fix Server 2008 and they aren't in the latest Server update.
We updated Crystal Reports 2008 on our machines. Installed the latest update for Crystal Server and then installed Crystal 2008 on the Report Server and installed the Crystal Reports 2008 update. A lot of our compatibility issues went away after that.
Good luck,
Brian

Crystal Report not pulling over user prompts

I am having issues with a Crystal Report that is pulled over into a third party CRM db. I've already checked the Forums and the SAP notes but have had no luck in finding any help. Our Crystal Report pulls up fine on the client, but it is missing the user prompts (parameters) when it comes through. We don't get any errors what so ever. The user is supposed to put in the date range that they would like to see. Other reports which don't have any prompts work fine. We've run the reports in Crystal on the server and they work just fine. We are just having this problem whenever the client is trying to run the report. When we've talked to our technical support for our CRM db they said we are supposed to get a lightning bolt and then when we click on it, it will prompt the user. However, the lightning bolt doesn't even show up when the report is pulled up. I'm not sure is there is something being done wrong within our report, or if this is an issue with the Active X controls. We are using Crystal Reports XI on an SQL 2005 server. Any help is greatly appreciated - I'm very new to this so if someone could please point me in the right direction it would be helpful. Thanks!

Hello,
The Lightning bolt is the report refresh button in CR 10. CR 11 has blue circular arrows, one on top of the other. Or you can simply press the F5 key to refresh. It may be you are mixing versions or something else.
I suggest you work with your tech support to figure out how your application should work and what is posibly missing. If you have the report Designer and they work there then your app or DB has issues.
We don't know your app or how it all is supposed to work so not much we can suggest other than to get your support to help you.
If it's a WEB app then possibly the you have the Pop-up blocker enabled, the Parameter UI would considered a pop-up.
You relaly need to get your CRM support guys to help you first. If thye can't figure it out then ask them to put a call into support.
Thank you
Don

Memory Leak in Report after upgrading from Crystal Reports 10.5 to 13.0.1/2

I'm currently having an issue with crystal reports 13 (Visual Studio 2010), We have recently updated our CRM Solution to use the newer crystal reports runtime as we are now using Visual Studio 2010,
We have a client who has a report which contains a sub report which basically contains a Image pulled from a MSSQL Database as a BLOB Image Field which is basically scanned images relating to the report, Previously the report worked fine before the Client Updated our CRM Solution to the latest version, Now for each individual page which has the scanned image the application is swallowing 100 MB of ram, as there are around 32 of these scanned images and our solution is a 32 bit application we are getting out of memory errors due to the whole 2GB addressable to a 32 bit process limitation,
The images are around 4MP and stored in JPG format in the database so should not be consuming over 100mb of ram per image displayed by the report even if they are being stored uncompressed in RGBA Format,
Likewise when viewing the pages of the report manually after a specific page (when the amount of memory addressable by a 32 bit application gets hit) the images just don't display and then any pages with the image are not being displayed and not giving an error / exception.
I have tried re-saving the .rpt files to cause them to be in the newer crystal reports format and this is still happening, likewise I have tried un-installing the 13.0.1 and installing the 13.0.2 runtime.
I am just about to check SQL which pulls the image for the sub report, although I am sure for each sub report it should only be pulling one row with one jpeg image in case the sub report is holding quite a few images but only displaying the first.
Likewise If all else fails I will try re-creating the report as I have experienced issues with some other specific reports doing strange things after being updated from the 2008 runtime which I really am not liking the idea of due to how fiddly crystal reports can be, It is good and does the job but takes far longer than some other solutions to get what you are trying to achieve done.
This report had been working fine for 2+ years before the client updated to the most recent version of our CRM Software.
Has anyone else experienced simular issues with the latest runtime.

I have just been reviewing the code for this and it appears that the sub report is pulling all of the images,
It is strange that previously this was working fine seems like the newer runtime does not dispose of the data once it has been displayed on a sub report which would explain memory leak as it will call the select again pulling approx 60 images which are probably approx 8 - 900KB plus sub report + uncompressed image to display and then filtering.
I am about to modify this report and will post if fix i put in place resolves the issue.

Crystal Report Integration with BW 70

Crytal Integration with SAP BW
Posted: Apr 21, 2008 6:53 PM E-mail this message Reply
Need help.
I have read some links at SDN, like Getting started link on BO and also http://www.businessobjects.com/product/packages/ to understand do we have to buy any additional licenses to use Crytal reports with my SAP BI 70?
1) We already own Crystal Enterprise. We are using for Non SAP Data
2) I remember to see SAP's integration kit in BW 3.5 and toolset to allow creating Crystal Reports on BW Queries. Also remember as SAP Customer we have access to create 10 queries even when we do not have Crystal License. Part of BW 3.5.
3) Since we have Crystal Enterprise already, do we need to buy additional Licenses for using it for SAP BW?
My question is limited to Crytal and not Generic BO, because SAP had some content development relationship with Crystal earlier. We have Business content (Brazilian Taxes in Crystal Reports)
BusinessObjects XI Integration Kit for SAP will certainly will allow it but is it really needed for Crystal Reports?
Can some one clarify?
Pankaj Gupta

Hi
We recently bought Crystal Reports and also now in the process of connecting it to ECC6.0, CRM and BI 7.0. We do have the SAP integration Kit and from the installation manual I can figure out that the integration kit is a must because of many auth issues etc. They have provided a couple of transport to be imported into each of the systems and many parameter settings.
If you are not having the Integration Kit it you should be trying to connect through ODBC etc which may be quite difficult with BI.
