Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer Design and Runtime Library 11.0

Hi to all,
           I want to design the CR at runtime because depending upon the situation the SProcs return 20 or 30 or 40 columns. so am using Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer Design and Runtime Library 11.0 COM component. but i dont know how to write the code for this dll and the same time i want to bind the image also from the SQL database as BLOB. Could any body post sample code.
Tools am using :
Asp.Net 2.0, SQL Server 2005, Crystal Report 11.0

You will likely need them all.
Here's another [link|https://boc.sdn.sap.com/developer/library] to our Diamond support site which has much more info and sample code.

    Hello,
    You are using the wrong SDK in this case. You cannot use ADO.NET (crdb_adoplus.dll) with the RDC. It would not recognise it. RDC only supports classic ADO (crdb_oledb.dll). Report Creation APi and the RDC was designed for Visual Basic 6.0.
    To do what you are trying to do you would have to use the Report Application Server (RAS) in .NET to create your reports.
    I recommend starting by creating a simple application with the report created in the Crystal Report designer using ADO.NET(XML) driver and Visual Studio .NET code to pass the dataset at runtime so you are familiar with the code and properties before trying to create the full report in code with RAS.
    You will find more information and samples in the Developer's Library:
    http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/BusinessObjectsXIR2SP2/en/devsuite.htm
    The samples are at:
    http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/BusinessObjectsXIR2SP2/en/en/CrystalReports_dotNET_SDK/sampleList.htm
    Look for "VB_Web_Data_DataSets".
    If you create a dataset you want in Visual Studio .NET, you can write it to XML or and XML Schema and use that to create the report.
            'From a dataset, create an XML file to use creating a new report
            'using the full path to the .xml file, include the schema
            dataSet.WriteXml("C:\Temp\myReportData.xml", XmlWriteMode.WriteSchema)
            'Or create a schema to use building a report
            dataSet.WriteXmlSchema("C:\Temp\myReportData.xsd")
    Once you have the report format the way you want it, you can use the Report Application Server Samples from the Developer's Help to give you direction in building your report at runtime:

  • Seagate Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer error '80043ac4'

    Website slows down when users are running reports. Users start getting errors when running any crystal report. After sometime main page itself stops loading and only static html is visible. Following is one of the errors users see:
    Seagate Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer error '80043ac4'
    Invalid directory.
    /opera_mort2/report/AlwaysRequiredSteps.asp, line 54
    Other errors seen on reporting site at that time are
    Active Server pages error 'ASP 0115'
    Unexpected error
    /opera_mort2/report/rpt_level.asp
    A trappable error (C00000005) occurred in an external object. The script cannot continue running.
    authentication and network errors.
    Rebooting the Web Server temporarily fixes the issue however the error recurs again after a day or two. We are seeing this problem in both our PROD and DR server. There was no change done to either of these boxes recently.
    Also at this pint IIS was crashing. Microsoft Support analyzed the crash dumps created from IIS and came up with the following:
    "All the memory dumps captured showed the same DLL that was accessing corrupted memory. This same DLL would also be the one that had originally written to those addresses. The DLL was craxdrt.dll from Crystal Reports 8.0 ActiveX Designer, which was version 8.0.1.0 from 1/28/2000. This DLL should be updated to see if this issue has already been fixed. Other options are to recycle IIS more frequently and move to a new version of Crystal Reports."
    Here is a detailed analysis from Microsoft Support:
    The issue appears to be heap corruption. Normally these are difficult to troubleshoot, however, in this case every memory dump that I looked at had the same component involved.

    Something must have changed. Were any patches or auto updates done to the OS?
    CR 8.0 has been out of the support cycle for some time now.
    As Microsoft suggested please log in and download the patches for CR 8.0 from:
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/businessobjects-support
    If that does not resolve the issue the only option will be to schedule sn IIS restart each night.

  • Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer Failed to open document

    Yesterday I created a report in Visual Studio 2008 with about 20 subreports, each subreport containing a single aggregate query (i.e count or sum). I then saved the report file. Hours later when I attempted to reopen the report in Visual Studio I recived the message box "Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer Failed to open document". The report file was completely unusable - it could not be opened for editting.
    Today I repeated the process twice (once ith multiple subreports and once with all aggregate queries combined in a single subreport), only to have the new report files become unusable with the same error message. I am completely shocked at this behaviour from Crystal Reports. I have now spent 10+ hours with no usable report. I realy need a fix for this ASAP!!! Any suggestions would be greatlhy appreciated.

    Hi Jeff,
    Just wanted to confirm you were on SP1.
    I've found that these types of error are usually due to corrupt system files or sometimes even Anti-virus software denying access. If there is no error it's not CR corrupting the file.
    Look in your AV logs to see if it's logging anything.
    Another possibility is with MS pushing out patches they can also cause problems. I've see them change permissions on our dependencies that can cause problems.
    Sorry I can't be specific but without seeing your report or any details you'll have to determine at which step in the report it stops working.
    Can you save any reports now?
    Steps to debug, create a new report with no subreports and save it. Then re-open, if that works then start adding one subreport and then save/open. It may be something related to either the subreports or the number of subreports.
    You could try doing a repair install of VS and SP1.
    Was this working at one time or is this something new, do you have other reports that are similar that have problems?
    You need to debug the report and find out what is causing it to be corrupted. Try adding the 20th subreport and then delete it also.

  • Error from the seagate Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer

    Hi guys,
    I get the following message when I running a report application based on Web. The Message is as following:
    The Error Message was Error detected by database DLL from Seagate Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer
    Internet Explorer has encountered a problem wiht an add-on and needs to close.
    the following add-on is running when this problem occured
    Add-on Name:   CRview.dll
    Company Name: Crystal Decision, Inc
    Description: Crystal Viewer for ActiveX
    I think the crystal is old version , the IE is version 7
    Thank you very much
    Clara

    OK, an upgrade of Oracle causes Crystal Reports to throw "Error detected by database DLL". It may very well be that version 8 report will not be able to run that version of Oracle. E.g.; version 8 of CR will not run Oracle 10 g for sure...
    Something to look at; can you run the report in the CR 8 designer when connecting to that updated version of Oracle?
    You'll have to locate the platforms.txt file for CR 8 and see what version of Oracle it supported. I do not have a link or even an idea of where that may be as CR 8 has been out of support for soooo long.

  • How to Use or Create XSD files in Crystal Reports XI R2 designer

    Hi,
    I have a crystal reports  application which was developed using  .Net crystal report designer, where XSD is used .
    now we have to develop the same application using Crystal Reports XI R2 designer , here i could not find any option for creating or using  XSD files , can you give any suggestions on that
    regards,
    kathyaini

    Hi Kathayini,
    Thanks for your prompt reply.
    We can use the existing XSD which are present in .Net
    But with current versions of crystal we doesn't have the feature to create XSD files at crystal designer level.
    So, it is suggested to use the XSD files which are present in .Net and  can also create new  XSD files.
    Let me know if you have any further queries.
    Regards,
    Naveen.

  • Crystal Reports XI Release 2 and Service Pack 2 upgradation

    Hi,
    I need your support to upgrade and migrate to Crystal Reports XI Release 2 and Service Pack 2 in my development server.
    I am currently upgrading my Crystal enterprise version 9 with the Crystal Reports XI Release 2 and Service Pack 2. I have the below questions to be clarified. Appreciate if you can reply me ASAP. Thanks.
    My Environment:
    O/S - Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition; Version 5.2 (Build 3790); Service Pack - 1
    RAM size - 1 GB
    Installed software - Crystal enterprise 9
    1) After successfully upgraded with the XI version, all my current user accounts and existing reports are not available in the upgraded version. Pl. suggest me, how to migrate my existing connections and all the existing reports?
    2) In my server, SQL Server is not installed. But SQL Server instance (SQL Server 7.00.623) is running in my taskbar (desktop). If I stopped the SQL Server instance, the "Crystal APS" in the Crystal Configuration Manager is stopped. What information is stored in the SQL Server?
    3) What is the default SQL server version bundled with Crystal Reports XI Release 2 Service Pack 2? What is the SQL server version you recommand?
    4) Will the Crystal Reports XI Release 2 SP2 supports the SQL Server 7.00.623?
    Regards
    Sanrajesh

    Hello, Sanrajesh,
    You have been using Crystal Enterprise 9.0 and now you are installing Crystal Reports XI R2. Is that correct?
    Crystal Reports XI R2 is just the Crystal Reports designer and runtime for development.
    Crystal Reports XI R2 does not have the functionality of Crystal Enterprise. The upgrade would be Crystal Enterprise 9.0 to Business Objects Enterprise XI R2. (11.5)
    A full BusinessObjects Enterprise installation will install the appropriate MS SQL Server for it's own use.
    Will this be the Enterprise server or just the Development system to create an application connecting to your BusinessObjects Enterprise server?
    What development language will you be programming in?
    If you have BusinessObjects Enterprise installed elsewhere you only need the appropriate development components on your system and connect to the server in code.
    Our BusinessEnterprise Support team would assist you in the upgrade from Crystal Enterprise 9 to Business Objects Enterprise XI R2 if that was your plan.
    Then we could discuss the development requirements.

  • SAP Crystal Reports 2011: Error INS00140 and other install errors

    Hi all,
    There have been many customers who have downloaded the Crystal Reports 2011 installation package and have run into an error when the installer attempts to recognize the keycode being used.  The error received is "The Product Keycode is not valid INS00140."
    This thread is meant to track all current resolutions that have been determined based on troubleshooting with customers thus far. In addition, the thread will provide you with the list of things that we need to know in order to properly troubleshoot the issue.
    Before attempting any of the steps below, please be sure that you are using the latest version of Crystal Reports 2011 which is SP02. You can download this version from the SAP [website|http://www.sap.com/solutions/sap-crystal-solutions/query-reporting-analysis/sapcrystalreports/index.epx].
    Coy
    ====================
    Resolution Options
    Windows XP & Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable
    If you are installing Crystal Reports 2011 on Windows XP, then you need to ensure that the following Microsoft patches are not installed on the machine. You can check this by using the Add / Remove Programs dialogue.
    KB2467175
    KB2467174
    KB2467173
    If any of these are installed, then please remove them before attempting to install Crystal Reports 2011.
    Installing with Dashboard Design 2011 or Presentation Design 2011
    If you are installing Crystal Reports 2011 on the same machine as Dashboard Design 2011 or Presentation Design 2011, then there may be a problem with the registry key that points to the location of the keydecoder DLL. To check this, launch run regedit and navigate to the following location:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SAP BusinessObjects\Suite XI 4.0\Shared Tools\keydecoder.dll
    You want to make sure that the "path" key is pointing to the valid path for the keydecoder.dll. The correct path to the DLL should be: C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win32_x8keydecoder.dll.
    Uppercase License Key
    In addition to the above, you need to make sure that you are entering the license key in all uppercase characters. There is a current issue with the installer where it does not accept lower case characters.
    Fix - Coming in SP02, but can implement manually for now
    Locate the BCM-4-0.dll.2.Config file in the <install package directory>\dunit\product.crystalreports-4.0-core-32\actions
    (replace crystalreports with crystalreportsjava for CR for Ent and xcelsius for dashboards)
    Open BCM-4-0.dll.2.Config
    Locate this line:
    <bindingRedirect oldVersion="8.0.50727.0-8.0.50727.1434" newVersion="8.0.50727.4053" />
    Modify the oldVersion number to make the line like this one:
    <bindingRedirect oldVersion="8.0.50727.0-8.0.50727.4053" newVersion="8.0.50727.4053" />
    This should allow you to install without issue.
    Further Troubleshooting
    If none of the above helps to resolve the issue, then we need the following:
    The installation logs from the following folder: C:\Documents and Settings\<YOUR USER NAME>\Local Settings\Temp\<DATE OF YOUR LAST ATTEMPTED INSTALLATION>
    The results from attempting to run the keycode validator directly. You can find it under the folders that contain the installation package. For example, C:\Documents and Settings\<YOUR USER NAME>\My Documents\CrystalReports2011\DATA_UNITS\CrystalReports\dunit\product.crystalreports-4.0-core 32\actions\isKeyCodeValid.exe -keycode <YOUR KEYCODE> -version 140 -property CR.EnableCR
    You should submit a new forum post with relevant details about the error and provide links to download the logs generated by following the above steps.
    Edited by: Don Williams on Dec 22, 2011 7:53 AM

    Then try these:
    1. Download the latest version of the installation package for Crystal Reports 2011. To verify the version of extracted package, open productid.txt file located at: {installation package}\DATA_UNITS\CrystalReports\.
    Make sure it is not less than 14.0.2...
    2. Where to download Crystal Reports 2011 installation from: - free trial from SAP Online shop http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx - from SDN Community page http://service.sap.com/sap/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm - from Service Market Place http://service.sap.com/sbop-downloads Note: downloads from all above listed locations are fully functional product installations. Trial version defined by expiring key code, not by functionality limitations.
    3. Copy the installation package to a hard drive if possible to avoid any networking issues.
    4. Login to the machine as Local ADMINISTRATOR.
    5. Temporary disable any kind of firewall, antivirus, network security etc., if possible.
    6. On the latest versions of Windows, even if logged in as local Administrator, right-click the setup.exe and select "Run as Administrator". If do not have Administrator account, right click "Run as" Select current user and uncheck the "Protect my computer and data from unauthorized program activity".
    7. Make sure there is enough space on the computer. If not sure about the space, run "Custom" installation with minimum components. Non-mandatory components could be added at any time.
    8. Finally, if there is an existing "InstallData" folder under C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects rename it to "InstallDataOLD"

  • Request resources for crystal report or universal design.

    Hello Gurus,
             please instruct me how to learn formula in cystal report or  universal design ?  I have no business object to practice, please show me some web resource or helpful book.
    Many thanks,

    As a starter, formulas in CR are fairly simple
    If test then result1 else result 2
    The hard one to find in documentation is null or not null values:
    if IsNull({field}) then ...
    if not(IsNull({field})) then ...
    Numbers and dates work with the above null tests, but some databases may need a test for text fields like
    if {text field} = "" then ...
    I use both for a SQL database as sometimes one works and some times the other:
    if IsNull({text field}) or {text field} = ""  then ...
    You can have multiple tests in a formula
    If test1 then result1 else
    If test2 then result2 else
    If test3 then result3  else result4
    and
    If test1 and
    test2 and
    testt then result1 else result2
    and

  • Why we need Design Repository and Runtime repository seperately?

    Hi All,
    Anybody please tell me why we need design time repository and runtime repository seperately? And also I want to know the total OWB Architecture.
    Thanks,
    Siv
    Edited by: Siv on Feb 10, 2010 10:40 PM

    Hi Siv:
    Concerning Repository:
    Since OWB 10.2 there is only one Repository storing Design and Runtime-Components.
    excerpt from http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10926_01/doc/owb.101/b12146/over.htm (OWB 10.1.):
    The Design Repository, installed in an Oracle database, stores the metadata definitions for all of the objects used in Warehouse Builder. This is where all of the design information is stored for the target systems you are creating. You can access metadata stored here using the client user-interface, or through OMB Plus, the Warehouse Builder scripting utility.
    The runtime repository, installed in an Oracle database, stores all of the deployment data as well as data from executed mappings and process flows. This is where the target environment information is stored for the business intelligence systems you create. This includes connection information for all of the deployment locations.
    Which version of OWB are you using?
    Greetings

  • Design time and Runtime licenses

    We are planning to use the Compact RIO for industrial process control and logging of values for furthur analysis.
    As we are new to the NI products, would like to know, what kind of licenses will be required for this purpose, like design time and run time licenses. The system end-user is not interested in having a development license at his end.
    Is it possible to have only the run-time licenses at the user end?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance...

    Obviously you will need the LabVIEW development environment and
    according Extensions to develop the software. So this means you will
    need the LabVIEW development system and either the RealTime Extension
    or the FPGA Extension or both, depending how you will setup your
    applicationon the CompactRIO system.
    For your end user
    you would not need any specific runtime licenses as long as you use NI
    hardware, since the cRIO controller comes with the necessary runtime
    license already for the realtime OS on the controller and the cRIO
    backplane comes with the runtime license for the FPGA code.
    LabVIEW
    build applications in itself do also not need a seperate runtime
    license since the development system license gives you the right to
    distriibute your host application with the LabVIEW runtime engine. This
    would get different if you use any of the Toolkits such as Vision
    Development, Sound and Vibration, Datalogging, Supervisor and Control
    or similar which do all have their ownruntime license that needs to be
    purchased for every deployed application that makes use of their

  • Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 runtime LICENCE

    I want to welcome everyone. It's my first post on this forum.
    I want to provide my Windows Form application to a client. This application was written in VS 2010 and it uses SAP Crystal Reports for generating simple report.
    I've read [Crystal Reports Licensing Explained|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/10cd9e15-120d-2c10-3fb5-be299000b6b7&utm_source=crvs2010&utm_medium=lp&utm_campaign=licensing_explained] pdf and I've learnt that in my case redistribution of software that embeds the Crystal Reports runtime engine is free.
    My question is:
    Is there something else I must include in my application package for instance a licence file? Or maybe I just have to include SAP CR runtime or ask user to download it from the SAP web site and that's it?

    Hello Marcin,
    Welcome.
    Please note that whenever you distribute your application (which uses Crystal reports) to others who may not have Crystal designer product, you need to provide the runtimes along with the application. The runtimes provide the necessary dlls in the machine for running Crystal inside the app.
    You can use an exe to install the CR runtimes and then deploy your app. OR you can include the msm files and create a deployment package.
    You will get the runtimes for CR4VS2010 [here|/people/coy.yonce/blog/2010/11/12/crystal-reports-for-visual-studio-2010-production-release-now-availableCystlR%2528SAPWeblogs%253ACrystal+Reports%2529].

    Forgot to mention:
    we have dependency on C++ runtimes. Please look at [this|Visual studio setup project with merge modules - C++ problem; thread for details or do a quick search, in this forum.
    Hope it helps.
    Thanks.
