Crystal Reports Error, Developer Edition, XI R2

Post Author: squiggly12
CA Forum: Deployment
I have a non embedded report sitting on a network server, and I have a program that when a menu link is clicked, it calls a .net dll which then popluates a .net 2.0 dataset, then crystal will load that table, and display my report. This works fine on any computer that has a full install of crystal, but when i try to run it from a client computer, this error shows.
I was going to add an image to this post, but I am not able to as the little insert/edit image button isn't working. So i'm going to type out the full error message.
An error has occurred while attempting to load the crystal reports runtime.
Either the crystal reports registry key permissions are insufficient or the crystal reports runtime is not installed correctly.
please install the appropriate crystal reports redistributable (crredist*.msi) containing the currect version of the crystal reports runtime (x86, x64, or itanium) required. Please go to http://ww.businessobjects.com/support for more information.
[OK button here]

Any news on this thread, I have exactly the same problem, at this time, It has passed 2 years, and I do not find any solution yet!
Can anyone provide me on solution.
I have bought CR XI, I have installed Vista x64 on my developer machine, and I will not rollback to Windows XP x86.
Does BO have one Runtime (AT LEAST for develop), because I can build reports, but I cannot test them because the code does not run without the x64 version of the Runtime.
If I do not have any solution in 2 weeks I will garbage Crystal Reports and go for Another solution, and start selling another solutions integrated on our products.
Thanks

Crystal Reports XI Developer Edition - Invalid Key

Hi All,
I have downloaded Crystal Reports XI Developer Edition trial from Business Objects site and received the key for the same by email.
Key Code: CP80U-F1YV0X7-0006VH1-AP81
When i input the same key during installation, i receive an error message saying the key is invalid. I tried again by re-registering and got the same key from Business Objects.
Has any one faced this problem? Please help me in getting the right key.

Programmatically create objects and formulas in Crystal Reports XI Developer edition?

<p>Is it possible to programatically/dynamically create a text, line, formula field object, etc. in Crystal XI Developer edition? I have been programming with the Crystal .Net reports component that came with VS 2005 for the past 6 months and know for a fact you can't programmatically create those objects although you can programmatically control their properties. My intention is to create a dynamic report that can be reused extensively. My current work-around for this was to create a generic report with about 40 formula field objects which draws data from 40 corresponding formula fields that I can programmatically set it's formula thus imitating a report field. I want to update to the developer edition because I heard with this edition we can programmatically create and manipulate these objects but I found no reference or examples anywhere that proves we can do this? Does anyone know for a fact or point me to the right place to look for documentation? TIA</p>

Hi,
How can I programmatically refresh list of values status on CR server XI R2?
Currently, after I modified the data source in the data connection, some of the LOVs in the report prompt window became empty when I tried to generate the report. I have to use Business View Manager to log onto the Crystal reports server XI R2, find and double click the list of values object to bring up the Edit LOV window, and then click on "Refresh Status" button to make the LOV available in the report prompt window.
What SDK should I use to create a simple application (preferable a desktop application) to find all LOV objects on CR server XI R2 and to refresh their status? That is an application similar to the "Refresh Status" function in Business View Manager.
I found Report Engine SDK has the Lov.Refresh function to refresh LOV. On the other hand, Report Engine SDK seems to be for BusinessObjects Enterprise, not for Crystal Reports Server. Can this or other function achieve what I want, i.e. to refresh list of values status on CR server XI R2? If yes, can I use it to develop a self-contained desktop application instead of a web application? I only need to run this application after I modify the data source in the data connection, so I prefer not need to deploy it as a web service.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Josep,
You can follow the below link.
Just check if the version of oracle is supported with 64 bit version.
Else just follow the below:
The issue has been identified and tracked.If Business Objects Enterprise is installed to a location containing brackets in the folder path, for example, C:\Program Files (x86)\, it will be unable to connect to any Oracle database. Certain Oracle database clients such as version 10.2.0.2 or 10.1.0.2., do not function properly with any application which has brackets in its folder path.
Resolution :
There are two options to resolve this:
When installing Business Objects Enterprise, please choose an install path that does not contain brackets such as C:\Program Files x86\ or contact Oracle support for an updated database client.
This issue is Oracle bug 3807408 and can be fixed by applying 10.2.0.1 Patch 6. This can be downloaded from Meta link if you have an account:
http://updates.oracle.com/ARULink/PatchDetails/process_form?patch_num=5059238
Just copy   the link and down load the patch from the oracle, for this you need to be registered in the oracle product download site.
Hope this helps you.

Naveen.

Crystal Report XI Developer Installation issue.

Hello,
I have recently installed Crystal Report XI Developer with a view to developing a C# application that will use the embedded Crystal Viewer to view previously published Crystal Reports. This will replace an application we wrote in visual basic that used Crystal Reports version 9.0 to do its job.
My problem is that the redistributable runtime files that I expected to come with the installation do not seem to be present on my system. I will need them to both redevelop the application and provide as part of our installation program.
I discovered this when a prototype I had developed using a time limited trail version of Crystal stopped working once I had unistalled it and installed the replacement developer edition.
The prototype failed with the message:
u201CAn error has occurred while attempting to load the Crystal Reports runtime.
Either the Crystal Reports registry key permission are insufficient or the Crystal Reports runtime is not installed correctly.
Please install the appropriate Crystal Reports redistributable (CRRedist*.msi) containing the correct version of the Crystal Reports runtime (x86, x64 or Itanium) required. Please go to http://www.businessobjects.com/support for more information. u201C
Looking into this further I discovered the root of the problem was that the protoype was expecting to use a higher version of assemblies than were still present on my system. All I have now is 10.5.3700.0. which I believe coresponds to the version those that are supplied with Visual Studio 2008. I was expecting to see version 11.0.3300.0 assemblies becoming available.
I have looked on the site but cannot see an msi file available for Crystal XI ... there is a lot of talk about merge modules but I do not yet know how of if these will provide me with what I need.
Help on this would be very gratefully recieved..
Thanks.

Hi Martyn,
You are correct, you installed the version for CR 2008. We don't have a MSI for CR XI. You'll have to build your own deployment package using the MSM's which you can downlaod from this [link|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006008972008E/crXI_net_mm.zip]:

Crystal Report XI developer kit not running after install

Hi, I am new in Crystal Report. We just purchased Crystal Report XI developer kit, and I installed it on a windows 2003 server with sp II. But when I go to program file-> BusinessObjects XI->Crystal Reports->Crystal Reports XI to try to launch Crystal Report, nothing show up, not even an error message. I did unistall and reinstall the software again once, but still the same. On the server, there is .NET framework 2.0.
Anybody please help how to make Crystal Report XI up running.
Thanks,
Qiaomei

Ludek,
I am quite confused too. I could not find about | help anywhere related to Cyrstal Report. I wish I could attach an image to show you if I can. Here is what it looks like if I go to programs
from start->programs ->
BusinessObjects XI -> Crystal Reports----
>Crystal Reports for .Net Samples
Crystal Reports XI -
Business Objects License Manager -
Crystal Reports XI
Registration Wizard
Report Designer Component Samples
If I go to Business Objects License Manager, the first line of the window is
Product: Crystal Reports Developer
I am not sure if this can help you understand what I have.
Thanks.

VS2008/VS2005 and Crystal Reports 2008 Developer

Hi,
1.) I am using VS2008 and Crystal Reports 2008 Developer. Are there any issues I need to consider when developing using both of the above? (or with VS2005)
2.) The confusion for me is in regards to the SDK. From what I understand from articles etc is that using CR 2008 dev we can use the .NET SDK or RAS SDK for development purposes?
3.) So downloaded the sample code for RAS .NET from [here|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/businessobjects-samples?rid=/webcontent/uuid/80774579-b086-2b10-db91-ed58c4dda375] and tried "DatabaseLogon_CS" example, as the option. It automatically opened in VS2005 (no problem) however it would not run.
I would get an error :
Failed to connect to server "localhost".
Error returned from Windows Sockets API : 0.
and line causing this is >>> rcd.Open(ref path, 0);
Code below:
        string sampleReportPath = @"C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\Samples\en\Reports\Demonstration\World Sales Report.rpt";
        object path = (object)sampleReportPath;
        // Create an instance of the ReportClientDocument.
        ReportClientDocument rcd = new ReportClientDocumentClass();
        // Set the location of the RAS server.
        rcd.ReportAppServer = "localhost";
        // Use the Open() method of the ReportClientDocument to open the report.
        rcd.Open(ref path, 0);
I have been able to open the RPT file by itself. So it does 'see' the database.
Reason why it would not run?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

If you're using the sample code from our website, make sure you have uncommented the InprocRAS option in the ConfigureCrystalReports method (see below). From your error description it seems like you're using the unmanaged RAS option, which requires a RAS server.
private void ConfigureCrystalReports()
        /* The following methods implement the same sample functionality in three different RAS
         * scenarios. Uncomment the method you would like to use.
         * - inprocRAS() logs onto a databse using RAS and SQL authentication.
         * - managedRAS() logs onto a database using RAS and SQL authentication from a managed RAS server.
         * - unmanagedRAS () logs onto a database using RAS and SQL authentication from an unmanaged RAS server.
         * Undocument the call to the method which applies to your appropriate RAS settings.
        DatabaseLogon_inprocRAS();
        //DatabaseLogon_managedRAS();
        //DatabaseLogon_unmanagedRAS();

Crystal report error on Target Machine

We have to provide application exe to our clients. The application is developed in Visual Studio.Net 2010 and by using SAP crystal report CRforVS_13_0. Client must be able to fire reports on their target machine on which the Dot Net framework and u201CCRforVS_redist_install_64bit_13_0_1u201C run time utility is installed. But it gives a crystal report error on the target machine.
Our development and target machines have Win 7 Professional, 64-bit OS installed.
Kindly provide us with an appropriate run time version for target machine in order to fire reports or any other solution in order to make our project work on target machine.
Thanks!

Thanks a lot Don for your valuable suggestions.
We have already taken care of the points which you mentioned in your reply on development side. Also, we have downloaded crystal report from the link which you posted but on DEPLOYMENT side we are unable to run reports from our application.
It gives the notification when we try to install crystal report on a target machine as "You must have visual studio 2010 installed in order to install the crystal report".
The DEPLOYMENT problem we are facing is in RUNTIME environment on TARGET machine. Our TRAGET machine has properly installed Win 7 Professional 64 bit, .NET Framework Ver 4 and CRforVS_redist_install_64bit_13_0_1 . We also have properly installed application on this machine. We got no errors while installing any of the above. The problem starts when we fire a report on target machine from the application.
We get the error as "The type initializer for 'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument' threw an exception"
So, we are looking for an appropriate RUN TIME version of Crystal Report which can be installed on the target machine to fire reports (where visual studio 2010 is not installed).
Please help suggest an exact version to download for target machine and the steps if it has a specific procedure.
Thank you!

Integrating Crystal Report 2008 Developer with Visual Studio 2008 Standard

I have Crystal Reports 2008 Developer version 12.0.0.683 on my computer. I also have Visual Studio 2008 Standard. I know the standard edition of VS 2008 does not have the bundled crystal reports, but since I bought the full version of CR 2008 separately, I figure I should be able to use CR within VS 2008. The problem I am facing is integrating Crystal Reports with Visual Studio, so I can create reports from within visual studio.
Crystal Reports was installed first and then Visual Studio. As per suggestions on this and other forums, I repaired my installation of Crystal Reports, but that did not help. I then ran Visual Studio integration manager, but when I run it, it only detects Visual Studio as the currently installed IDE, but does not detect CR 2008. I downloaded service pack 2 for CR, but have not installed it yet. I do not want to install it if it is not going to help. I would also like to avoid uninstalling my copy of CR if at all possible.
I am a newbie at development in visual studio. Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rajib

Don't want to go against what Jason said as it may be correct - if we go strictly by the documentation provided (sorry Jason, Dan says...). However, here is something to try;
Uninstall CR. Look for any left overs; c:\program files\business objects\... and delete all of that.
Look in the registry for HKLM\software\business objects and remove the business objects entry.
Download CR 2008 from here:
http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx
That is a trial version and I believe it is already at SP 1. Use your keycode to install. Once this is done, you should have the ability to use CR in .NET. I'd recommend you do apply sp 2 now also.

Crystal Reports XI Developer Release 2

What is the upgrade method of going from Crystal Reports XI Developer to Crystal Reports XI Developer Release 2.
I've seen mention on other forums and help-desk websites that it is a free upgrade for a registered user of Crystal Reports XI Developer. However, I can't how this is done.

Hello,
There are a number of ways to get the physical download. Here's one that's pretty easy. Go to the [Downloads page |http://service.sap.com/sap/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm]for Crystal Reports and set the search criteria for service packs for Crystal Reports XI R2.
Software Product: Crystal Reports
Product Version: XI Release 2
Software Type: Service Pack
You'll see a number of downloads. Download one of the Full Build packages like "Crystal Reports XI Release 2 - Service Pack 4 Full Build".
After downloading CR XI R2 you should uninstall CR XI and then install CR XI R2. CR XI R2 is not really an upgrade to CR XI. It is it's own stand alone version.
You'll sometimes see issues in Crystal Reports if you don't fully remove CR XI by following manual cleaning steps. You may need to do the following from SAP Note 1218535 - How to manually uninstall Crystal Reports XI:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Symptom
Crystal Reports XI is installed on your computer. You need to manually uninstall Crystal Reports XI for one of the following reasons:
To verify that all Crystal Reports XI components have been completely removed prior to installing a later version of Crystal Reports.
To remove the remaining Crystal Reports XI components that have not been removed using the 'Add/Remove Programs' command (Start > Settings > Control Panel).
To remove the remaining Crystal Reports XI components that have not been removed using the Setup.exe file from Crystal Reports XI installation CD.
Resolution
Before getting started, uninstall Crystal Reports XI by launching the Setup.exe file from the installation CD or by using the 'Add/Remove Programs' command. If either of these methods fails to remove all Crystal Reports directories, files and registry keys, then continue with the resolution of this article.
WARNING: This resolution can be applied if Crystal Reports XI is the only software installed on the computer that uses the Business Objects directories, files and registry keys.
For example, Crystal Analysis, Crystal Enterprise and BusinessObjects Enterprise XI are applications that may share the same directories, files and registry keys. Removing these directories, files and registry keys may cause other software to function incorrectly.
1. To manually uninstall Crystal Reports XI, delete the following directories:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\3.0
C:\Program Files\Business Objects
NOTE: Do not remove the directory C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\3.0 if you have BusinessObjects Enterprise XI or Crystal Reports Server XI installed. These files are shared by both applications and removal of these files will cause Business ObjectsEnterprise XI and Crystal Reports Server XI to function incorrectly.
WARNING: The following resolution involves editing the registry. Using the Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall the Microsoft Windows operating system. Use the Registry Editor at your own risk.
HELP: For information on how to edit the registry key, view the 'Changing Keys And Values' online Help topic in the Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).
RECOMMENDATION: It is strongly recommended that you make a backup copy of the registry files (System.dat and User.dat on Win9x computers) before you edit the registry.
2. Delete the following registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.0\Crystal Reports\
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects\Suite 11.0\Crystal Reports
HKEY_USERS\S-#-#-##-...-####\Software\Business Objects\Suite 11.0\Crystal Reports
The number signs (#) represent a series of numbers that are different on each computer.
After making changes to the registry, restart the affected service or application as required.

Dan Kelleher

Crystal Reports Error - BOBJ is undefined

Post Author: cstent
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Hi
I recently upgraded from crystal reports 10 to 12 and am now coming accross an error when i try and deploy a crystal report viewer onto a webpage.
Im getting a javascript page error "'bobj' is undefined".
Searching on the web i can only find one other person who has come accross this error, and not posted the solution.
Any ideas?

Crystal Reports Error - BOBJ is indefinido
hola para los que no Leen inglés.
este error se dió cuando quise ejecutar el reporte en formato HTML.
las causas son estas, cuano se instala el runtime solo se instala en C:Inetpubwwwrootaspnet_clientsystem_web2_0_50727
alli dentro tiene los formularios, y el javascript para que se ejecute el reporte en html (todo el viewer).
cuando quise ejecutar el reporte tengo otra ruta que se llama c:Inetpubwwwpruebasaspnet_clientsystem_web y me marcaba el error, eso es porque los scripts no se encontraban en esa ruta.
PARA RESOLVERLO solo copiar el system web de wwwroot y pegarlo en la otra ruta. con eso solucionan el problema.
saludos desde MTY Mex.

Crystal Report Error while doing Email Billing

After emailing approx. 497 invoices utilizing MS Dynamics, we are getting the following errors; In addition, we have to respond to numerous printing prompts presented by Crystal Report, v11.
Error in ASI_SEND_MAIL_WITH_Outlook.
Error: Object require error number: 424
Error in ASI_OpenReport.
Error: Invalid TLV record.
Error Number: -2147206429
What is causing the program to abort with the above Crystal Report errors?

Hello,
This may be caused by load. Where one report is not complete before the next one is called.
It would be difficult to determine without having access to the source code.
The trouble-shooting should be done by MS Dynamics since it is coming from inside their application and they can involve Business Objects if they have questions.

Crystal Report error exporting to Word

My company recently deployed a Microsoft Security Patch to our workstations that's causing a problem with Crystal Reports. When exporting a Crystal report to a Word file (from a VB 6 application) the following error is generated when opening the file: "You are attempting to open a file that was created in an earlier version of Microsoft Office. This file type is blocked from opening in this version by your registry policy setting."
My company uses Crystal Reports v 8.0.1.0. Is there a more recent release that provides a fix for this error?
Thanks.
David
Edited by: David Verbinski on Nov 5, 2008 10:35 PM

I know 100mb works because I have created word document reports with that size before using the crystal export. Just really big reports. I'm not sure on the exact size because it doesnu2019t work but I know there is more data in the report than the 100MB report which works so it doesnu2019t work on some reports larger than that (don't know the specific size because it doesnu2019t work) sorry for being redundant.
Not sure about a size limitation on an RTF formatted document that is saved as a *.doc (word document).
It's my understanding that exporting to a .doc is the same as exporting to .rtf because the .doc is in .rtf format. I may be wrong but if you change a .rtf extension to a .doc extension, you get the same thing when opening the file in word.
When exporting to RTF format I get the same error, so I believe they are using the same or similar process.
Yes I tried on other machines and different servers and the error only occurs when exporting large documents to word. Small documents work fine.
If there are file constraints in exporting to word, I believe a more distinct error message could be displayed related to the specific error.
No I did not upgrade my pc or software, I developed the report and am running specificly for 11.5 release 2 with service pace 3 installed.
Thanks,
K
