Crystal Reports Developer Edition XML or Java data source

Is there a way to use XML or custom Java objects (POJO) data source in Crystal Reports Developer Edition ? Currently Crystal Reports is being invoked as API from an existing code. But that code can be modified if need be.

Hello Jayashree,
please see a sample for CR 08 with XML as datasource [here|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006016532008E/XML_datasource.zip].
Best regards

Crystal Report developer edition - Linux

Do we have Crystal Report Developer edition (version XI R2 or 2008 V1) for linux?

The standard designer is Windows only. The only thing you may be able to use on unix is Crystal Reports for Eclipse which has a built in Java designer.

We want that License key of Crystal Report Developer Edition V8!!!

Hello. It's Ulsan Chemical Co.Ltd.
I want to get Seagate Crystal Reports Developer Edition's license key.
Our CD KEY CODE is 6Mxxxxxxxxxxxxx0 and we have that CD.
Please send license key quickly. thank you!

Hey KIM,
To get the particular developer edition, you need to have a reserved S-user id and password generated from SAP.
To get these you can contact the CIC People , and they will guide you to get the required edition .
You can reach them at :

Do I need to install crystal reports developer edition?

Hi,
I tried to open a CR 8.5 reports in vs 2005 and it opened up fine. But when I try to preview the report it comes up with the error
Failed to load Database information
Details:The Database DLL 'crdb_fielddef.dll' could not be found.
We have used Active Data drivers and Field definitions using ttx files in 8.5. We used the 8.5 developer edition. Will I be able to use the crystal reports for .net with vs 2005 without installing the new version of crystal reports or Do I need to install the developer edition to overcome this? I used the 10.2 version with the VS2005.
Thanks,
SS

VS 2005 does not ship with crdb_fielddef.dll, which is the lib used with ttx reports. You won't be able to preview off of a ttx file, or create a new Crystal Report off of a ttx file, using CR.NET shipped with VS 2005.
If you require those functionalities, CR XI Release 2 would be an possible option.

Crystal reports for Eclipse vs Crystal reports Developer Edition

hi guys,
what is the difference between CR4E and CR Developer edition in the context of using it in a J2ee application?
As far i know the below are the differences
1.CR4E has a better JRC than the JRC that comes with the CR Developer
2. CR4E is free and CR Developer is not for free
3. CR Developer has a better UI for Report desigining whereas CR4E doesnt have . It is possible to get a trial version of CRDeveloper to design and use the JRC of CR4E to execute the report from a J2EE application
is there is something that CR developer has which CR4E doesnt have when it comes to integrating with an J2EE application
Thanks,
Prem

Crystal Reports with Graphical Linking on Multiple Data source

Hello
I have a report which uses graphical linking on 6 tables/views which acts as the data source.
4 are on HANA and 2 on a legacy system.
Record selection filters are applied to filter data.
Report's performance is incredibly slow on running for higher date ranges even for less than a month bringing back < 10000 records.
Please suggest any tips to improve this.
already tried below :
Checked no printer option
Removed Page N of M control
Changed Order links to pick small tables first
Crystal Reports 2013 connecting via ODBC to HANA and legacy
-Jayakrishnan

Hi Jayakrishnan,
When you join tables from multiple datasources, CR processes the joins and any record selection criteria locally. This is what slows down the report.
The only way to speed up performance is to have all the data atleast come from the same database or even better, creating a view that has all the required tables and joins.

Sub reports In Crystal reports XML as a data Source

Hi,
I am facing one problem related to Sub reports functionality in crystal reports as XML as a data Source. We are using CrystalReports XI for this.
I was generated PDF's using crystal reports from ruby on rails, by using the JAVA API to produce the PDF by taking the XML,XSD,and RPT files as parameters. I succeed in this case
and the way we are communicating with JAVA API using from my Ruby on Rails application by the following link.
http://rorataspire.wordpress.com/2008/06/13/how-to-integrate-crystal-reports-with-ruby-on-rails/
Right Now my problem is as follows.
The problem with the sub reports generation from crystal reports. We had one main report file(RPT), In that we are using the Sub reports,for that sub reports need to parse the XML's and XSD's dynamically based on the report encountered on the main(RPT)file,but to send more than one XSD's and XML's dynamically based on the sub report, to the JAVA API from Ruby on Rails application I am not succeeded. So as a result PDF with the Dynamic data for Sub reports is not fulfill.
Your help is appreciable, Thanks in advance.

Is this a coding question or a data source format question?

For Excel I tried with ODBC in windows but I can't find any ODBC or JDBC drivers for Excel in solaris.
Any help to solve my issues

Crystal Reports for Eclipse vs. Crystal Reports Developer

We are developing a Java web application for internal use. Since we have some people at the company who are familiar with Crystal Reports, we'd like to have them write reports that we can display through our application. Crystal Reports Server seems like overkill for this project, but the <a href="http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/BusinessObjectsXIR2/en/devsuite.htm#en/JRC_SDK/">JRC</a> sounded like a good fit.
I have been evaluating <a href="http://www.businessobjects.com/products/reporting/crystalreports/developer/default.asp">Crystal Reports Developer</a> and trying out the <a href="http://support.businessobjects.com/communityCS/FilesAndUpdates/crxi_r2_jrc_web_samples.zip.asp">JRC samples</a>. The samples don't use the tag library. Instead, they show how to set session variables and redirect to a viewer JSP which contains a bunch of Java code to use the CrystalReportViewer.
The samples are so much more complex than the code created by Crystal Reports for Eclipse, which simply uses the tag library:
<%@ taglib uri="/crystal-tags-reportviewer.tld" prefix="crviewer" %>
<crviewer:viewer reportSourceType="reportingComponent" viewerName="myreport-viewer" reportSourceVar="myreport" isOwnPage="true">
<crviewer:report reportName="myreport.rpt" />
</crviewer:viewer>
I assume that I should be able to use the same tag library approach without using Crystal Reports for Eclipse, but I haven't seen any tutorials on it. I'm trying to understand whether I should purchase Crystal Reports for Eclipse instead of Crystal Reports Developer.
This is the difference, as I understand it:
Crystal Reports Developer gives you the stand-alone Crystal Reports Designer and the right to run the JRC on an internal server. It costs <a href="http://store.businessobjects.com/store/bobjects/DisplayProductDetailsPage/productID.40434600">$595</a>.
Crystal Reports for Eclipse Standard provides a free report designer built into Eclipse. It also includes the JRC for use on an internal server.
Crystal Reports for Eclipse Professional provides "a more powerful runtime engine" with the right to run it on one internal server. It costs <a href="http://store.businessobjects.com/store/bobjects/DisplayProductDetailsPage/productID.52068100">$495</a>. Is this the same JRC provided with Crystal Reports Developer?
If the "powerful" JRC is the same as Crystal Reports Developer's JRC, could I install Crystal Reports for Eclipse Standard to take advantage of the Eclipse integration and the built-in designer, but use the more powerful JRC from Crystal Reports Developer, which would also give me the stand-alone designer?

Hi there, If you are planning on deploying a JRC application then you should definitely be using Crystal Reports for Eclipse for your runtime engine. It is the latest version of the JRC and includes many updates not available in Crystal Reports Developer.As for "power" the JRC included in CR Developer is on par with the JRC available in the Basic edition of Crystal Reports for Eclipse. The Professional edition of Crystal Reports for Eclipse provides the most powerful version of the JRC available.With the release of Crystal Reports for Eclipse, Business Objects is setting the groundwork for separating Developer needs from the Report Author needs.A professional report author will require a professional report design tool. For these users we are recommending that they purchase Crystal Reports Professional.The developer, on the other hand, generally needs the SDKs and a toolkit to assist with building applications. We believe that these should be available at no cost to the developer, only charging when the application is deployed (in this case a CR4E Pro license). This is different from the current model with Crystal Reports Developer where we have combined a professional report designer plus the required runtime.So, to summarize, definitely use Crystal Reports for Eclipse for your application runtime and have your report authors puchase Crystal Reports Professional. If you need a more powerful engine, access to technical support or plan to deploy on multiple servers then I would recommend purchasing the Crystal Reports for Eclipse Professional license for your development purposes.As for some tutorials on creating viewer pages, the integration in Eclipse provides a very simple way of accomplishing this. I would suggest reading the section titled "Creating a New Viewer Page" in our Getting Started Guide found at the following URL:<a href="/node/320"> http://diamond.businessobjects.com/node/320</a>Let me know if you have some follow-up questions.

Crystal Reports Developer XI shuts down when trying to run a report

I have been using Crystal Reports in my office since 2005 without any problems.
However, recently when previewing reports in the Developer edition of Crystal Reports XI I have experienced a problem. After logging onto the databases and selecting the parameters, instead of displaying the report the application closes. This only occurs on a few of my reports, I have not made any changes to these reports and up until now they have been working without error.
The only change to the operating environment has been a recent upgrade to Windows XP.
Any suggestions for a fix?

Naveen,
The reports where developed in the current version.
There isn't any other version installed on the machine.
I only have Crystal Reports Developer XI installed on 1 machine in the office. The reports are loaded in the Business Objects Management Console and available for other office staff to run from the Business Objects Viewer. The reports run OK from the viewer.
I have tried un-installing Crystal Reports Developer XI and re-installing it already - the problem still occurred.
There are a number of faulty reports, some query 1 database others only 1 database, some have SQL tables others do not, most of them have subreports, formula fields, parameter fields, and group name fields, 1 also has a running total field.
Most of the reports I have created are similar but have different selections.
Thanks for your help, hope we can find a solution.
Ann.

PDF Export Output in Crystal Reports Developer 10 vs. Crystal Reports Developer XI

Hi -- First post here, so forgive newbish behavior (at least for today)Quick question:Why does my output differ (margins and image size) for the same report exported to PDF via Crystal Reports Developer 10 vs. Crystal Reports Developer XI? It's the same report with the same data and same design. When XI is compared to 10, the output in XI seems to remove an extra 1/4-inch on the left, right, top, and bottom margins and makes my images shrink by about a factor of 25%.While not the end of the world, it would be nice to get an explanation as to why this happens.Thanks in advance,Amasis

Â I personally haven't noticed that myself but I'm sure it will have been reported to Customer Care if it's a more persistent issue.Â Have you tried looking this up in the Knowledge Base?

Total No of pages different in report printed using Crystal Report XI R2 vs SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio (File Version 13.8)

Currently in our application, we are using Crystal Report XI R2 for generating the reports. We are in the process of upgrading the Crystal Report to SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio (File Version 13.8). I updated that on my machine and all the reports work fine. I didn't have to modify any of the reports.
However when comparing the reports, we found that there are few reports on which the total no. of pages differ from the report displayed using Crystal Report XI R2 vs SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio (File Version 13.8). Comparing the reports, it looks all the data that were fit on one page earlier with version XI R2 doesn't fit on the same page with version 13.8, thereby increasing the page counts.
The fonts, page margins everything set on report itself. Nothing being set in the code.
Both the application is using the same report that is pulling the data from the same database. Our application is a web application.
Any suggestion, why this is happening.
Thanks.
Sanjay

I am not sure what is being compared here?
CRXI R2 designer to CRVS?
CR XI R2 in some version of .NET to CRVS?
CR XI R2 using RDC SDK to CRVS?
Also, is this happening on your development computer or after you deploy?
If you compare the the "Page setup" options dialog between reports that work and those that do not work, do you see any difference?
Is this a web or a win app?
Are you seeing the same issue when viewing and exporting - say export to PDF?
What is the printer driver used and it's version?

Crystal Reports Developer

Greetings all,
I have recently purchased Crystal Reports developer version 11 and have made a number of reports.
I am having trouble with sharing reports to other employees of my company and would like your assistance.
What are the ways of allowing other users to view the report and also allow them to modify the parameters? eg I have created a report that gives the list of all of the active candidates for a company. There is a query before the report that is generated to ask the user the start date and end date.
I spoke with a number of people and they have suggested creating the report in "run-time" which I have no idea what it means.
Can someone please help me as I would like to share all these reports.
Your assistance is appreciated.

Simone,
There are several ways to make your reports available and usable to others.
Here are a few...
1) Export to PDF and email (users will not be able to alter any of the parameters... )
2) Install a CR viewer on each users machine. You can find a list of them here http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html
3) Crystal Reports Server (CRS) or Business Objects Enterprise (BOE).
4) Create a custom application.
With the CR Viewer, that application only allows to user to view the report but not enter in any parameters?
I enquired about crystal reports server but it came to roughly $8000 for the product which is quite expensive.
Is there a program that I can utilise that is a relative good price?
