Crystal Reports - Blanket Agreement

Hello.
I was asked to make some changes on an native SAP's Crystal Report, and I've found some issues.
The Blanket Agreement report were made based on a XML file, and I can't find how  to generate this XML file to make the changes on the report.
Anyone here knows how to do that?
Regards.

You didn't understood my question.
I already know how to edit, save, etc... I've made some reports, edited some native SAP reports, and many things.
But all the reports that I've edited were based on an SQL connection to get the date. This one uses an XML archive that doesn't exists (SAP generates it when we run the report), so I can't make the changes.
I need to know how to generate one of those XMLs to make the changes.
Regards.

  • Crystal Reports Server XI R2 - RAS service will not start

    We had a copy of Crystal Reports Server XI R2 running on a Windows 2003 SBS Server and the database running on SQL Server 2000 on the same box. We were forced to upgrade this server Windows 2003 SBS Server 2003 R2 with SQL Server 2005. The upgrade worked fine however after the upgrade we could no longer open reports in infoview.
    We soon realised that the RAS(Report Application Server) service was stopped however we could not start it.
    We tried doing a full uninstall(deleting the directory and registry info) and reinstall several times on the same server pointing to the existing database and trying to create a new database in both MYSql and SQL Server but again the same problem. While our licensing agreement means we can only install it on one server we tried on another and again we had the same issue.
    We see several errors in the event viewer of the server, these are:
    -Unable to create the Corba OSCA factory and register it on the eBus (Source:BusinessObjects_crystalras)
    -Failed to register with the CMS 'Server Name'. Please make sure the CMS is up and running. Attempting an automatic retry. (Source: We see this error show on a fair few of the service after stopping and firing up services, but they seem to disappear)
    -An error occurred while creating a Page Server subprocess.(Source: BusinessObjects_pageserver)
    If I try firing the crystalras executable just for interest sakes I get a "No valid license found for this product" error.
    We thought it may have been a license issue caused by the upgrade but have been told that the license key still appears to be valid.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Hey did anyone ever answer your question, I have exactly the same problem 4 years later, sigh

  • Remove Printer Name from Crystal Report

    How can i remove the printer name from the Crystal Report so that the PrinterName property of the CRAXDRT.Report object in the RDC SDK is blank WITHOUT having the "No Printer" Option checkbox checked?
    Here's the scenerio.  When I first create a Report and don't go into Page Setup, PrinterName property is blank.  If I go into Page Setup and explicitly select a printer, PrinterName property equals the name of the printer selected.  If I check the "No Printer" checkbox in Page Setup, PrinterName property is blank.  But if i go back in and uncheck the "No Printer" checkbox in Page Setup, the PrinterName property equals the name of my Windows Default Printer.

    I'm still not sure what is unclear about my first question.  And I'm not sure how any of the info you are requesting is going to make any difference in answering my question.  And I'm not sure how your analogy fits here but ..
    Version of CR = 11.0.0.895
    CR Service Packs applied = None
    Web or Win app? = Win App
    OS? = Windows XP Service Pack 3
    Development language?  = Both Visual Basic 6 and C#.Net 2008
    Method of CR files deployment = email the .RPT file to a client
    Where were the runtime files downloaded from? = Runtimes are installed from Merge Modules donwload from SAP site
    What is the version of the craxdrt.dll on the deployed box? = 11.0.0.893
    So here are the exact steps so you can understand what is going on:
    I have the Crystal Reports Application open side-by-side with my Visual Basic development environment in debug mode so i can step through the code using the RDC SDK.
    1. I open the Crystal Reports Application and create a brand new report - "Test.RPT" and DO NOT go into Page Setup at all and save the report.
    2. In my Visual Basic development environment, i run the code that will generate the report, Here's the exact code
        Dim m_crApp As CRAXDRT.Application
        Dim m_crReport As CRAXDRT.Report
        Set m_crApp = New CRAXDRT.Application
        Set m_crReport = New CRAXDRT.Report
        Set m_crReport = m_crApp.OpenReport("Test.RPT")
    3. When i look at the PrinterName property in the CRAXDRT.Report object, it is blank.
        ie. crReport.PrinterName is equal to ""
    4. I reopen the Crystal Reports Application with report "Test.RPT" and go into Page Setup and check the "No Printer" option.
    5. I go back into my Visual Basic development environment and rerun the code that will generate the report.
    6. When i look at the PrinterName property in the CRAXDRT.Report object, it is still blank.
        ie.  crReport.PrinterName is equal to ""
    7. I reopen the Crystal Reports Application with report "Test.RPT" and go into Page Setup and uncheck the "No Printer" option. I have NOT specified any printer, nor have i clicked the "Printer..." button to setup a printer....i have just unchecked the "No Printer" option
    8. I go back into my Visual Basic development environment and rerun the code that will generate the report.
    9. When i look at the PrinterName property in the CRAXDRT.Report object, it is now set to my WINDOWS DEFAULT PRINTER, yet i had not specified any printer.
        ie.  crReport.PrinterName is equal to "
    MyNetwork\MyPrinter"
    PROBLEMS:
    1. The client needs the report to go to the default windows printer of their machine
    2. If the "No Printer" Option is checked, the Report does not print at all
    3. If the report is set to MY default windows printer and i give it to the client, at times it takes upwards of to a minute for the Print Dialog to disply.  As i've read on other forum posts, it appears Crystal is looking for MY printer on the clients machine and takes a minute before i realizes it can't find it and then sets it to the CLIENTS default windows printer.
    4. The client believes it is unreasonable to wait a minute for the print dialog to appear ...and i agree.
    5. I cannot change the code to use the Select Printer in the RDC SDK - it's a long explanation why but just suffice it to say that i cannot do this.
    All i want to do is either:
    1. Remove the Printer Name in the actual report from the Crystal Reports designer - basically undoing what Crystal did when i went into Page Setup.
    2. Via the RDC SDK, be able to detect the "No Printer" option is selected. Checkign CRAXDRT.PrinterName equal to "" is not an option.

  • Issue while exporting report in PDF using crystal report XI

    The stack trace is caused by whitespace in your CrystalReportViewer.jsp file.  Look up SAP Note 1199025 for the resolution.
    It's not related to the PDF formatting issue.  There's been changes to the formatting with the most recent version - Crystal Reports for Eclipse 2.0 - so if you haven't already, I recommend you upgrade.
    Note that there's differences in font metric calculation when using Adobe PDF format such that there's no way to get exact agreement between output of the CR and PDF.  But the latest version helps greatly.
    Sincerely,
    Ted Ueda

  • Views on CF Report Builder and Crystal Report

    Dear all,
    I would like to get your opinions on CF Report Builder and
    Crystal Report.
    As we all know, CF Report Builder is a new reporting tool.
    But I find it very difficult to design a complex report maybe due
    to limitation in its functionalities. Sometimes the tool shutdowns
    by itself without any warning and reason. But the output is nicely
    presented on a flash paper / pdf and it can be run on non-MS
    platforms.
    On the other hand, Crystal Report is a more matured product
    but runs only on MS platform. It is very easy to use and very
    powerful. I have been using it for almost 10 years. But the output
    is not nicely presented on the web browser unless if we purchase
    Crystal Report Enterprise to generate the report which is very
    costly.
    Can you all share your views? I need to make decision which
    tool(s) to use. Really appreciate it.
    Cheers,
    Keiko

    Hi Keiko,
    Yes, CF Report builder is new and initially there was few
    issues with this. But I guess now it's good after hotfixes.
    Well, I am using CF Report Builder. It's good for me. You can
    also design and develop complex reports, that depends upon the
    query you are writing. You can also add subreports to your main
    reports.
    Mainly CF Report is platform independent and you can also
    generate reports in PDF, EXCEL and FlashPaper.
    Crystal Report is no doubt is very good, and it's there for
    long years. I agree you can create complex reports with this, but
    you also can do the same in CF also. You are using this for last 10
    years, so I guess you should try something new and that is CF
    Report Builder and you can judge then.
    I am sure you will have fun with CF.
    Thanks

  • Sub report parameter prompt appears when running Visual Studio 2008 with Crystal Reports 2008

    Post Author: relliott
    CA Forum: .NET
    If I build a simple Crystal Report that contains another simple Crystal Sub Report, the report will print preview fine in Crystal 2008.  The problem happens when add this report to a Visual Studio 2008 Web Application Project and I build and debug the application, the Crystal Viewer is prompting the user for the parameter used to link the sub report to the main report.  This should never happen as the user is not supposed to see this parameter.  If I type in some value for this sub-report parameter prompt, the Crystal Report Viewer gives an error message about not finding the field.
    I was having the same problem in Vs2005 with Crystal 10 which is why I upgraded.  Business Object's official fix for this problem was published under their KB article number c2018840 and c2019047.  These hot fixes ended up causing general exception errors in Visual Studio so I scrapped these solutions.
    Support had me install SP0 for Crystal 2008 (which did not fix it).
    Any ideas?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Rich Elliott

    Hi Bontrager,
    Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
    According to your description, I agree with pvdg42's suggestion, so I suggest you can try pvdg42's suggestion to install the version of
    Crystal Reports 10.5 to check this issue again.
    Reference:
    http://forums.asp.net/t/1236730.aspx?Which+CR+version+is+in+Visual+Studio+2008+
    In addition, since this forum is
    to discuss: Visual Studio WPF/SL Designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System, and Visual Studio Editor. So if you have any issue about the
    Crystal Reports, I suggest you can ask the issue to the
    SAP Crystal Reports website:
    http://scn.sap.com/community/crystal-reports/content?filterID=contentstatus%5bpublished%5d~objecttype~objecttype%255bthread
    as pvdg42 pervious suggestion, it will be better support.
    Thanks for your understanding.

  • Why is Crystal Report Viewer in BO XI 3.1 not printing correctly?

    I have a W2 report that prints consistently directly from Crystal 2008 but when the report is imported into BO XI 3.1, the Crystal Report Viewer doesn't consistently print the report layout correcty (shifting data down by a line or so on the W2 form). Any thoughts?

    I'm inclined to agree with Ted as you logging into Crystal Reports designer, and the user that the Business Objects Enterprise services are running under are likely different users and are trying to use different printer drivers. 
    Since this is happening in Infoview, it would be best to ask the enterprise section of the forums and not the sdk forums.

  • Using crystal reports to generate invoices

    Post Author: samme
    CA Forum: General
    I'm writing a report for a client who wants to print multiple invoices using crystal reports.  The invoice needs to sort in date order, one date and information associated with that date on each page.  Each page has a subtotal since multiple items/services are linked ot one date.  The last page of the invoice needs to have the total and should at the bottom of the page with the last subtotal.  Not onlastrecord does not work because if the user prints multiple invoices, crystal doesn't see the "last record" until the last record of the last invoice.
    The client wants the normal invoice information on the first page of the invoice:  Company Logo, Customer Address, Company Info, Invoice #, Date, etc. as well as the column headers - quantity, unit of measure, price, etc.
    On all other pages of the invoice, the client wants, the company logo, the invoice # and the column headers.
    I have the report grouped by invoice number and then by a date formula.  I cannot seem to get where I need to be with this invoice and have been working on it for some time.  Can anyone give me some direction please..... 
    Thanks in advance!

    I do understand, I'm not a programmer either :-(
    the company who wrote report builder is Digital Metaphors, they have a
    very good
    training application and additional detailed information of how to
    write
    reports.
    The CIM schema is I agree Cr** (well not easy) and without the detail
    that
    Novell provide it doesn't work.
    I hope that a friend of mine is going to provide the compromise that
    you and I
    are looking for. Namely the ability to create the SQL queries that
    ART can
    make, with a simple report system. Keep an eye on caledonia.net for
    an
    announcement for ART4 (Derived from but unrelated to Salford
    Software's
    product) :-)

  • Report exported in Crystal Reports 9 won't work in Crystal Reports XI R2

    Hello,
    I have a .NET client that has been using Crystal Reports 9 for some time to generate reports and then exporting them to Crystal Reports format (.rpt), and saving the report including the data so that the user can open it at a later time and preview/print. This has been working fine so far.
    Now we're in the process of updating our system to Crystal Reports XI R2. When a user selects an old report (that was originally created in CR9) to preview, CR XI prompts the user to submit a value for a string parameter that was originally submitted to the report when it was generated in CR9 but the value was set as either Nothing or the empty string. If we try to print the report then CR XI throws this error (probably because of the same parameter):
    CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ParameterFieldCurrentValueException: Missing parameter values. ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x8004100E): Missing parameter values.
    at CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.ReportSourceClass.GetLastPageNumber(RequestContext pRequestContext)

    Is there a solution to this? I've tried to submit a value to the parameter in code and then exporting the report again but that doesn't work. Any help appreciated.

    Can anybody help me?

    Four of ways to do this, however all include the use of the RDC merge modules and creating a deployment package. From the most prefered to the least prefered option:
    1) When you download the merge modules, one of them will be crystalreports11_RDC_license.msm. The crystalreports11_RDC_license.msm is configurable and you have to enter the keycode into the msm. Utilities such as InstallShield, Wise, MS Visual Installer allow you to do this modification, others do not. You do not specify what deployment utility you are using, but if it does not support these types of msm files, search the forum for "Orca" and you will get an idea of how to use it to fill in the keycode.
    2) In code you can use this line:
    myApplicatoni.setLicenseKeycode("the keycode as a string")
    3) In the CR bin directory (...\3.0\bin) on your development computer, you will find the LicenseManager.exe. You could take this exe to the computer you want to deploy to, runt he exe and enter the keycode. Of course this is not the most ideal if you are distributing to more than a couple of computers.
    4) Install Crystal Reports on the deployment computers. In order to remain within your licensing agreement, delete the crw32.exe. Again, this may be an option for a couple of quick installs only.

  • Error  while exporting in pdf in crystal report XI

    Post Author: Siddheswar
    CA Forum: General
    hi
    I am getting the following error in crystal report XI while exporting to pdf.
    The Error:
    Method 'ISCREditableRTFExportFormatOptions_reserved5' on type 'CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.EditableRTFExportFormatOptionsClass' from assembly 'CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel, Version=11.0.3300.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304' is overriding a method that has been overridden.
    Please Help.
    Thanking in advance.
    Regards

    The stack trace is caused by whitespace in your CrystalReportViewer.jsp file.  Look up SAP Note 1199025 for the resolution.
    It's not related to the PDF formatting issue.  There's been changes to the formatting with the most recent version - Crystal Reports for Eclipse 2.0 - so if you haven't already, I recommend you upgrade.
    Note that there's differences in font metric calculation when using Adobe PDF format such that there's no way to get exact agreement between output of the CR and PDF.  But the latest version helps greatly.
    Sincerely,
    Ted Ueda

  • Crystal reports 2008  will not allow multiple exports in a row

    I recently had service pack 3 and fix pack 3.3 updated to my system ( crystal 2008) to help correct a issue with mapi not populating addresses from outlook when trying to export a report.  I have a new issue. - sort of???
    Now when I try to export multiple reports in a row I still have the same issue. I can send 1 report out. But if i try to send another report out i have the same issue that I had with  mapi not populating the addresses field from outlook.
    To get past this I shut down crystal and then bring it back up and I can send (ONE) report again before the same thing happens. Does anyone know if there is  fix for this issue?

    Im not sure I agree with you designation that this report should be in the report DESIGN forum.  I
    My problem has nothing to do with report design in my OP.  The MAPI function (in crystal reports itself) will not populate addresses once I export 1 report.  When I try to export a second report that is when it quits works.  This is basically the same problem that a hot fix or fix pack corrected but now instead of now working at all. I can only export 1 report before the same mapi issue happens????

    I totally agree with Alex.
    With over 11,600 threads this forum is really "heavy".
    A few more categories would reduce the efford for searching and rise the effectiveness.
    This applies to a few more categories by the way.
    Nevertheless I'm also happy about the quit good support in this board.
