Crystal Reports hung on start up trying to connect to 204.50.113.148

Yes, I am new to Crystal Reports. The software is installed on a machine with no access to the internet. When I start Crystal Reports 2008 it hangs up. I thiink it is trying to connect to SAP's servers at 204.50.113.148 to authenticate the product. Being that I have no internet connectivity, this is never going to happen. How can I get around this? Also I think this is going to be a problem when the client runs a report with the Crystal Reports Runtime Support installation.

Hello,
If you don't have a Developer Advantage Licensing agreement then you don't have rights to distribute the runtime. Each of your customers will have to purchase a copy of Crystal Reports to be licensed to run your application.
See this [Licensing |http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/70bd6328-4128-2d10-7882-d7b95418dbaa]link for more info...
Also can you explain why you and your users and software do not have access to the internet?
For your personal use you can contact Our Sales team to get a License or registration number to stop the screen from asking to register.
If you are an OEM Partner you can contact your account manager to provide you with a list of registration numbers.

Crystal Report That Uses Stored Procedure Errors when connecting to the DB

We had developed reports a few years ago, including one that calls a Stored Procedure on an iSeries AS400 DB2 database. We upgraded our environments to Crystal Reports 2008 and BO XI 3.1. Now, the existing report that previously ran in the old environment is not running (note that the other SQL-based reports work without a problem, only this one which uses a store procedure is not working). I downloaded the report into my local Crystal Reports designer and tried to run it from there and I got the following error message:
======
Failed to retieve data from the database.
Details: ADO Error Code: 0x
Source Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers
Description: [IBM][iSeries Access ODBC Driver] Statement violates access rule: Connection is set to read only.
SQL State: 37000
Native Error: [Database Vendor Code: 30186 ]
======
{CALL "<database>"."<library>"."RELEASEDNOTINVOICE"({d '2010-03-01'})}
This call will still work from on a SQL client running on a JDBC connection. Is there some problem with the new verion of BO and Crystal Reports with using the iSeries ODBC driver?

...my issue was resolved by setting the ODBC.INI registry entry for AllowProcCalls from 0 to 1.

Crystal Report can't add Currency field when connect to SAP Infosets.

Hi,
I created a simple Crystal Report which connect SAP Infosets.
Everything is fine except I add a "Currency" field into report. Three errors returned.
Fail to retrieve data from database -> Database connector error :'Syntax error in program SAPLHRPADINA1' -> Database connector Error: 'RFC_CLOSED'
Do you have any idea?

Hi,
can you run a InfoSet query based on the InfoSet ?
Can you create a QuickView on top of the InfoSet ?

Crystal report extremely slow after converting to SQL connection

We have a VB application developed in Visual Studio 2005 that references:
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine v. 12.0.2000.0
CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.Framework v. 12.0.1100.0
CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.InfoStore v. 12.0.1100.0
CrystalDecisions.ReportSource v. 12.0.2000.0
CrystalDecisions.Shared v. 12.0.2000.0
CrystalDecision.Windows.Forms v. 12.0.2000.0
This application originally used ADO to connect to our SQL Server database. I recently converted to a SQL connection so I can take advantage of table-valued parameters in SQL Server 2008. After the conversion, some of our Crystal Reports now take up to 3 minutes to load, but only on some usersu2019 PCs. Prior to the change, the reports only took a matter of seconds, and they still take only a matter of seconds on my development PC. We have looked at all the settings we can think of on the slow PCs but so far have found no smoking gun. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Does anyone have any suggestions for how to find the problem?

Hi Gina,
Ah, that is why you are having problems. We had to fix CR so it would support MS SQL 2008. Not sure what version you are using but you need to install Service Pack 3 and then Fix Pack 3.5. Then CR will retain the SQLNCLI10 as it's data driver.
And what I mean is once you update CR have your report writers open each report and set location to the new DSN or old DSN with the updated 10 driver and then verify the reports and save. This will update the RPT files so the 10 client is used.
To get updated, and assuming you are on an early release the best way is to keep track of your keycode, uninstlal CR 2008 and then download CR SP 3 and FP 3.5:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009989492010E/cr2008_sp3_fullbuild.zip
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006341722011E/cr2008fp35.exe
If you are on SP 2 then you can use the incremental SP 3 and then FP 3.5

LOV issue for Crystal Report 4.0 ( Enterprise ) using the BICS connection

Hi Expert,
I am working for one our client which is using Crystal Report Enterprise 4.0 SP 2 i am facing the following problem with the LOV .
- I have created the crystal report on top of BEx query using the OLAP connection in CMC .
I have the variable at BEx query level which have list of value around 100 K and user want to search through that LOV in order to make his selection but as soon as i include that variable in my Query and run my CR my report crashes and i cannot run the report .
I gave the user the option of manual input of value to that variable it does not work as it uses the BICS connection and i read somewhere we cannot use the manual input in case of BICS connection for crystal report you have to select the value from the LOV .
My Question is is there any workaround if we can restrict our LOV to some extent and let the user to select and search from that any setting if we have at query designer level to restrict the LOV to burst in the report .
Any input will be appreciated .
Thanks,
Vibhav

Crystal Report 2011 SP4 APPCrash on Create New Connection

Hi Guys!
I've experience a problem with Crystal Reports 2011 for SAP B1 9.0 PL11. CR crashes everytime I create new connection folder.
I'm running Windows 8.1 x64.

Hi Pieterjan,
CR 2013 for B1 can be downloaded from Software Download Center : https://websmp106.sap-ag.de/support
Choose SAP Business One from menu "Software Downloads" > expand from left side "SAP Business One Products" > Installations > SAP CRYSTAL REPORTS FOR B1 > CRYSTAL REPORTS 2013 FOR B1
Just keep in mind that, to make CR preview in B1 works fine, please check if correct CR runtime (.NET 32bit or 64bit) is installed. 32bit client will install 32 bit runtime automatically and same for 64 bit.
To make SAP Business One connection and Add ins menu works, please make sure correct version of Integration Package together with correct BOE runtime are installed. Install Integration Package will install BOE runtime automatically. ( We only need 32bit BOE runtime in CR for B1). Of course you can also install them seperately.
We have relevant Note 1815476 to explain this.
Hope this clarifies some points.
Thanks,

Hyperion Reports 1.7 error 2005 trying to connect

User trying to login to via VPN to Hyperion Reports 1.7 from one of our european offices gets follwing message:2005: The system cannot access the Report Server at this time. try again later or confirm the reports server available"1. User's laptop work fine when connected at home office2. tried IP address and alternate DNS names for Reports server3. I tried from my house via VPN wityh no probelem4. user ID/password verified & testedIdeas an where to start?

along with nqsconfig.ini file you need to do the changes in instanceconfig.xml file too see below:
Stop Oracle BI Server and Presentation Services on all nodes except where you are refreshing the user GUIDs. For example:
cd ORACLE_HOME/admin/instancen/bin
./opmnctl stopproc ias-component=coreapplication_obips1./opmnctl stopproc ias-component=coreapplicaiton_obis1
Update the FMW_UPDATE_ROLE_AND_USER_REF_GUIDS parameter in NQSConfig.INI:
Open NQSConfig.INI for editing at:
ORACLE_INSTANCE/config/OracleBIServerComponent/coreapplication_obisn
Locate the FMW_UPDATE_ROLE_AND_USER_REF_GUIDS parameter and set it to YES, as follows:
FMW_UPDATE_ROLE_AND_USER_REF_GUIDS = YES;
Save and close the file.
Update the Catalog element in instanceconfig.xml:
Open instanceconfig.xml for editing at:
ORACLE_INSTANCE/config/OracleBIPresentationServicesComponent/
coreapplication_obipsn
Locate the Catalog element and update it as follows:
<Catalog>
<UpgradeAndExit>false</UpgradeAndExit>
<UpdateAccountGUIDs>UpdateAndExit</UpdateAccountGUIDs>
</Catalog>
Save and close the file.
Restart the Oracle BI Server and Presentation Services using opmnctl:
cd ORACLE_HOME/admin/instancen/bin
./opmnctl stopproc ias-component=coreapplication_obips1
./opmnctl stopproc ias-component=coreapplicaiton_obis1
./opmnctl startproc ias-component=coreapplicaiton_obis1
After you confirm that the Oracle BI Server is running, then start Presentation Services:
./opmnctl startproc ias-component=coreapplicaiton_obips1
Set the FMW_UPDATE_ROLE_AND_USER_REF_GUIDS parameter in NQSConfig.INI back to NO.
Important: You must perform this step to ensure that your system is secure.
Update the Catalog element in instanceconfig.xml to remove the UpdateAccount GUIDs entry.
Restart the Oracle Business Intelligence system components again using opmnctl:
cd ORACLE_HOME/admin/instancen/bin
./opmnctl stopall
./opmnctl startall
Hope it helps

FTP error when trying to send crystal report to FTP destination

Hello experts.
I am trying to send a crystal report to a FTP destination. I have enabled the FTP destination on all servers that have a destination option. I am able to connect to the FTP site manually from the server that is running crystal reports server. However every time I try to run the report in CMC, it fails with the following message:
Error Message: connection error. CrystalEnterprise.Ftp: WSA11004
Any ideas on what this message means and how to fix the issue?

Here's the details of the Note
Symptom:
Scheduling of the Crystal Report to FTP destination prompts the Error: Connection error, CrystalEnterprise.Ftp: WSA0.
Cause:
Every time when Crystal Report is scheduled to FTP destination, a connection is made to FTP server from server where job server is installed. If there is limitation on connection being made to FTP server then this error occurs.
Resolution:
For FTP sites in IIS:
- Open IIS Manager
- Go to Properties
- Click on the FTP site tab
- In FTP site connections, check for Connection limited to :
- When report is long running do check how much time it takes to complete scheduling. - Accordingly change the connection time out setting in Properties of FTP site.
- For FTP sites created using FTP Server applications, setting for Connection limited to and connection timeout will remain same.

Crystal Reports print preview problem

Hello
The problem is that print preview of a report using crystal Report dotnet Print Preview is making u201Cblank signsu201D inside words. The blank signs occurs near Swedish special signs like u201Cåu201D, u201Cäu201D and u201Cöu201D. Also near u201C.u201D (dot). Maybe there are more signs making this problem.
The problem occurs for those who have .NetRuntime, or a full installation of Crystal Reports
The problem started when we installed Crystal Reports 12. In earlier versions we had no problem with this.
It feels like Crystal Report have some bug in the u201Ctext rendering engineu201D. This is obviously a problem when a customer previews a text before printing it. This preview should look like the printout. Even if the room between two letters not is a space, there still is a room that is interpreted as a space by a human.
However, if we zoom to larger % (200%) the preivew is matching the report.
Regards
Kamlesh

Make sure you have SP 2:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009038092009E/cr2008win_sp2.exe
with FP 2.5 on top:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100002975192010E/cr2008fp25.exe
If the issue persists, since it is in the CR designer, post to the CR design forum:
SAP Crystal Reports
You need to resolve this in the designer, before trying to resolve it in a .NET application.

Crystal report 9 memory error.

we are using crystal report 9 with sybase power builder..... at some client locations we are experiencing the application crash due to memory while opening crystal reports.
the following errors were noticed
1.the instruction at "0x77124804" referenced memory at "0x001b3e60". the memory could not be read.
2.the instruction at "0x7c911daf" referenced memory at "0x00000000". the memory could not be read.
please guide us what is the issue.. do we need any hotfix or service pack for this.
regards

I assume you already tried to reinstall the application and I would recommend to do it one more time, but this time follow the process for so-called manual uninstall
1. Uninstall Crystal reports 9 using add remove programs
2. Save backup -up of the Registry
3. Remove the following registry key (be careful with the registry file):
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\Crystal Reports
4. Reinstall Crystal Reports 9
As the next step I would check and disable Data Execution Prevention.
Go to: Start> Right-click My Computer" select Properties> Advanced tab > click Performance settings> Data Execution Prevention tab.
If DEP turned on for all programs, then add Crystal Reports (crw32.exe) to except list.
If DEP is not cause of problems, then I would suggest Process Monitor to locate the reason or at least try to locate it.
You can download Process Monitor utility from the following page:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx
The same page will tell you how to use it. I would suggest the following steps:
Close all unnecessary applications/processes
1. Open Crystal Reports
2. Start the Process Monitor, stop capturing events (Cntrl-E), clean the display (Cntrl-X), add the following filter (Cntrl-L) "Process Name is crw32.exe then include", click ok.
3. Start capturing events (Cntrl-E)
4. Immediately click Format menu on Crystal Reports
5. Stop capturing events and save the log file
Now you can look at the log file to see what is going wrong. I would also advice to capture the same log on client machine to compare the sequence of events.
Gracias...!!

How do I connect from Crystal Report version XI to Oracle 10G express?

I'm new to oracle 10G express and I'm developing an application that needs reports to preview some data from oracle tables.
The oracle database is installed on the server and I installed the client on my machine. I need to use the crystal report 11 to report the output. Thus, I designed a crystal report that should simply read a table on oracle and though I need to be able to connect to the oracle 10G Express Edition database. I tried to create a connection from the crystal report using the Database Expert >> Create New Connection >> Oracle Server and I include the following parameters.:
- Service: host:1521/XE
- Username: username
- Password: password
Then when I tried to connect the crystal report crashes always.
Is there any way to create a connection to the Oracle Database 10G express from Crystal Report 11?
Please advise...

Thank you bala,
First, How I should start the Listener on the database server?
Listener.ora content:
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
+(SID_LIST =+
+(SID_DESC =+
+(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)+
+(ORACLE_HOME = C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server)+
+(PROGRAM = extproc)+
+)+
+(SID_DESC =+
+(SID_NAME = CLRExtProc)+
+(ORACLE_HOME = C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server)+
+(PROGRAM = extproc)+
+)+
+)+
LISTENER =
+(DESCRIPTION_LIST =+
+(DESCRIPTION =+
+(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC_FOR_XE))+
+(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = Daoud-PC)(PORT = 1521))+
+)+
+)+
DEFAULT_SERVICE_LISTENER = (XE)
How to configure the tnsnames.ora on the client side?
tnsnames.ora content:
XE =
+(DESCRIPTION =+
+(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = Daoud-PC)(PORT = 1521))+
+(CONNECT_DATA =+
+(SERVER = DEDICATED)+
+(SERVICE_NAME = XE)+
+)+
+)+
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
+(DESCRIPTION =+
+(ADDRESS_LIST =+
+(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC_FOR_XE))+
+)+
+(CONNECT_DATA =+
+(SID = PLSExtProc)+
+(PRESENTATION = RO)+
+)+
+)+
ORACLR_CONNECTION_DATA =
+(DESCRIPTION =+
+(ADDRESS_LIST =+
+(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC_FOR_XE))+
+)+
+(CONNECT_DATA =+
+(SID = CLRExtProc)+
+(PRESENTATION = RO)+
+)+
+)+
Now I`m trying to initialize this on one machine (database & client) and so the crystal report will be on the same machine where the database exist; Additionally, this machine has OS Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit and include the Oracle 10g Express Database & Oracle 10g Express Client software.
Please check the files content I included above and give me the way on how to establish a connection from the crystal report to the database where both are installed on the same machine.
Thanks in advance...

Connection String with Crystal Report XI R2

Hello,
I am having an issue with Crystal Reports XI R2 and figured this would be a good place to start and post my question.
I created a report in Crystal Reports XI and am now trying to pass the user id and password so that the user can just run the report. I attempted to use the Crystal Report connection string setup but receive an Microsoft ODBC error when trying to use that.
My question is how can you pass a userid and password to crystal report XI so that when you open the report it runs without prompting the user? I do not have access to .NET. Can this be done using Crystal Reports XI only?
Thanks in advance for your help
Shaun

Hi Shawn,
Standalone CR can only do that if using a URL to open a report in BOE.
For CR Designer itself the only option is to turn on Trusted Authentication in your Server, used Mixed mode and then import all of your users into SQL Server. Refer to MS's Help file on how to.
Now when the user runs the reports CR will simply pass the local user info to SQL Server and no prompting will be required. We still respect DB security so if the user is not allowed to access the table then CR respects that.
Thank you
Don

Crystal Report Activex Viewer Control

 Our users are prompted to download: Crystal Report Activex Viewer Control -- when trying to view reports. Since they do not have Admin rights on their PC, they are unable to install this Activex Control. Is there a setup file available someplace that can deployed to the user's pc that would intsall the activex control?Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,Anupam

http://support.businessobjects.com/communitycs/technicalpapers/cr_troubleshooting_activex_viewer.pdf
says
bq.
Manual installation
To manually install the ActiveX Viewer on the client computer:
1. Copy the ActiveXViewer.cab file from the server to the client computer, and extract its contents to a temporary folder.
2. Move the files Crviewer.dll, Crviewer9.dll, Sviewhlp.dll, and Swebrs.dll to the System32 folder. Keep this folder visible.
3. On the Start menu, click Run. The Run dialog box appears.
4. In the Open box, type âu20ACu0153regsvr32âu20AC and then drag and drop the Crviewer.dll file icon from the System32 folder onto the Run dialog box.
5. Click OK.
6. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the files Crviewer9.dll, Sviewhlp.dll, and Swebrs.dll.
But I haven't tried it myself yet. I have so much crystal stuff on my PC. I'm going to set up a virtual PC that has never had crystal and see if it works.
