Crystal Reports IDE

Hi,
I have Crystal Reports XI Release 2. Every time I start the IDE, I get the dialog "Please wait while windows configures crystal reports XI release 2". It takes a while for this dialog to go away. does anyone have this issue? Is it possible to disable this dialog? Thanks.

We have a user here with the same problem and that was the first thing we tried - turn off "check for updates". It didn't work and she now has the same thing happening when she opens Teradata SQL Assistant! Yes, the CR message comes up when she opens another vendor's app. No luck searching on this so I will likely be opening a case with tech support...

JRC bug: apostrophe in string parameter passed to Crystal Report with Command datasource to SQL Server

Post Author: nl11087
CA Forum: JAVA
A single quote/apostrophe in string parameter passed to a Crystal Report with Command datasource connecting to a SQL Server database, using sqljdbc driver does not escape the special character correctly. When doing a preview in the Crystal Reports IDE it allows you to escape the input parameter as expected and work correctly, but through the JRC component it fails. For string parameters without special sql server characters I experience no problems at all. When replacing the Command with a direct table there is also no problem.
Reproduction:
1. create a database db1, create a table table1 with a String type column col1.
2. Create new report Report1.rpt, create a connection to above, Add Command using 'SELECT col1, col2, col3 FROM table1 WHERE col1 = '{?Par1}' . Add a parameter field Par1 : String
3. In your java stand alone application using JRC add the parameter Par1 with a value "Jon Doe's Value" containing a single apostrophe. Export to PDF. (I also tried MSWord and this failed too, similar behavior). Additionally, in another test try to replaceAll("'","''") to escape it, preventing the code to break, but now it does not retrieve the expected row anymore and you end up with an empty report.

Crystal Report runtime error while changing Data Source Location

Dear All
We are using "Crystal reports for SAP Business one".The Crystal reports version is 12.1.
We built a report in another database with another server.
As we are importing the report in another database of another server,
I am not able to change the Data Source location.
When I am trying to change it,it gives Runtime error and closed automatically.
How can i resolve and change the data source location?

hi kambadasan,
is your CR version the same from which you design the report and to the another server? also did you import your report directly to SBO without changing the data source first? in the case you should update first your Data Source in Crystal Report IDE before importing it to SBO.
regards,
Fidel

Integrate Crystal Reports XI Release 2 and VS2005 IDE

Hi,How can i integrate Crystal Reports XI R2 is directly into the Visual Studio 2005 development environments. So i can host my report in either a Web or Windows application with one of the Crystal Reports viewer controls, or use the extensive API to interact with the report programmatically at runtime. My current setup is:<blockquote>Crystal Reports XI Release 2.</blockquote><blockquote>Visual Studio 2005 Professional (I did not install the Crystal Reports .Net shipped with VS 2005.)SQ Server 2000. </blockquote>Thanks Please help.

You'll need to install the Crystal .NET that comes with VS 2005.Â You then install Crystal XI R2 over the top and not only will Crystal be integrated with the IDE, it should use the updated assemblies from R2.

Crystal Report 2008 IDE - JDBC connection issue

Hello,
I'm using Crystal Report 2008 IDE. I've created a report that goes against Oracle 11G database.
I have installed Oracle Instant Client (32 bit) 11.2.0.2.0.
I can establish and Oracle connection via the IDE.
When I attempt to establish a JDBC connection through the database expert wizard, I keep getting JDBC driver not found message.
I've updated my CRconfig.xml specifically the classpath to point to where my ojdbc5.jar file is located.
What else do i need to do in order to establish a JDBC connection?

Hi,
First of all what is the service pack that you are using for Crystal Reports 2008, because Oracle 11g R2 is supported from Service pack 4 onwards in CR 2008.
For JDBC connection with CR 2008 you can have a look at this link might this would help you:

Crystal Reports 2011 IDE fails to save active report

Hi,
I've been using CR 2011 to update some previous versions of CR. When I go to save the report 9 out of 10 times it fails to save the active report file and turns the report into a .tmp file. I then have to save the report back to a .rpt file and it is fine and the report still works. But this is driving me nuts. To have to keep on saving as after the IDE fails.
Anyone have any help/suggestions on this.
Thanks,
Jim

hi Jim,
are you using crystal reports for visual studio as the IDE? if so, please repost your question here.
if not (i.e. you are using crw32, the regular crystal reports designer tool), please ensure that you've got the latest sp installed from here. after that, if you still experience the problem please provide a link to one of your reports (e.g. in dropbox) with saved data so that it can be tested by someone else on their version of cr.
thanks,

Integrating crystal report into the visual studio standard edition IDE

I have visual studio 2005 standard edition. I need to upgrade some asp.net reports that were done using visual studio 2003.
I have just install Crystal Reports XI developer edition version 11.0.0.1282. How can I integrate Crystal into the Visual Studio 2005 IDE?

Hi
I would like to inform you that VS 2005 is only compatible with CR XI R2 and CR 2008.
Have look in supported platform guide:
https://websmp105.sap-ag.de/bosap-support
You need to upgrade CRXI to CRXIR2 then try to solve this issue.
To download the CR XI R2 follow the instructions given below:-
Crystal Reports XI is installed on your computer. You need to manually uninstall Crystal Reports XI for one of the following reasons:
u2022 To verify that all Crystal Reports XI components have been completely removed prior to installing a later version of Crystal Reports.
u2022 To remove the remaining Crystal Reports XI components that have not been removed using the 'Add/Remove Programs' command (Start > Settings > Control Panel).
u2022 To remove the remaining Crystal Reports XI components that have not been removed using the Setup.exe file from Crystal Reports XI installation CD.
How do you manually uninstall Crystal Reports XI?
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:
u2022 C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\3.0
u2022 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.
====================
2. Delete the following registry keys:
====================
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.
====================
u2022 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects
u2022 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects
u2022 HKEY_USERS\S-#-#-##-...-####\Software\Business Objects
(The number signs (#) represent a series of numbers that are different on each computer.)
====================
NOTE:
After making changes to the registry, restart the affected service or application as required.
After deleting the CR XI from the system install the CR XI R2 full build and provide the same key as you provided in CR XI.
URL to download CR XI R2 is: - http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/additional_downloads/service_packs/crystal_reports_en.asp#CRXIR2
Click on
Service Pack 2 - Full build - ZIP - 1.03 GB - released April 2007
I would suggest to use the latest service pack of CR XI R2 i.e. Service Pack 4.
to download SP4 click [here|http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/additional_downloads/service_packs/crystal_reports_en.asp#CRXIR2].
Note:- before installing SP4 - you must have installed CR XI R2 SP2
Hope this helps!!

Error when opening Crystal Report in VS 2010 IDE

I recently began receiving the following error when I attempt to open a form containing the crystal reports viewer.
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 redestributable (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.
I am able to run the reports from within the development environment but cannot open them in the forms editor. I have installed Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 SP1 and Visual Studio 2010 SP1 hoping that would solve the problem but to no avail. I have tried to reinstall multiple times and continue to receive the error.
I am running on Vista (32 bit). The project target framework is ".NET Framework 4, The platform target is set to x86.
I also now receive errors when I try to run reports after deploying to client PCs but I don't know if that is related or not.

Uninstall CRVS2010 that you currently have installed.
To remove the assemblies from the GAC use gacutil. Google will get you a number of links on how to. Also, see the KB [1535325 - How to remove CRVS2010 Beta 2|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_bi/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333533333335333333323335%7D.do].

Dunning Letter as Crystal Report: What tables? (SAP B1 9.0)

Dear Experts,
I am being asked to revise the Dunning Letters for our clients. The existing PLDs for each Dunning Letter shows most data fields as system variables. The existing Crystal Report for Dunning Letter 1 is a conversion from the PLD and doesn't show table information for most of the report's main items. There are tables in the report but they are standard ones (OADM, OADP, OCRD, OHEM, OSLP). It also includes a "table" called "PLD__ITEMS" which has all the PLD system variables and no B1 table or field/column information.
As I'm just now starting to work with dunning letters, I see that I can't even run this report in Crystal. The PLD__Items datasource prompts me for a file path and class name. Any ideas what one enters here to run the report outside of B1 (from the Crystal report designer)?
The main focus of my question is: Has anyone created a Crystal Report to replicate the Dunning Letter and if so, what tables are involved and how are they connected? If I can create a Dunning Letter entirely in Crystal, I can replicate it across all clients and get the correct fields/columns of data the clients want. The inclusion of the PLD__Items apparently limits my ability to test the results. I would prefer to avoid the PLD limitations.
Thanks for any assistance.

Thank you Nagarajan. I have a dunning letter created in Crystal Reports for our client. It is fairly limited in scope, it just has the customer name and address, invoice numbers and dates, amounts due and the text they wanted in it.
I can import it into B1 9.0 and set it as the default for Dunning Letter #1 and it runs, but unlike other formats where there is a DocEntry and/or ObjectID and a ?DocKey@ or ?ObjectId@ parameter, how do I limit the report to just one customer? Typical document layouts run for the document that's on the screen. In the dunning process, the report runs once for every customer when the Dunning Letter Method is set to "One Letter per BP". I have to limit the report to one customer at a time. Right now, each dunning letter based on the Crystal report is identical and it contains all the data for every customer.
So, does anyone have any ideas for what selection criteria needs to be included in the Crystal report to have it select just one customer from the dunning wizard tables? Thanks.
Michael
Edit: I created a ?WizardID@ parameter and a ?CardCode@ parameter to limit the report to a single dunning wizard event and a single customer. While it works fine in Crystal itself, it doesn't work in B1 at all. I had thought that by limiting the report in this way, it would only create dunning letters for a single customer.

Exporting Crystal Report to HTML is not working in Windows 7

Hi Sir,
I am trying to export Crystal Report to HTML format using VB.NET code. Functionality is working fine at Windows XP Environment (Save to Disk, Open an Application and Email Attachment). But the same functionality is not working at Windows 7 Environment (both 32-Bit as well as 64-Bit).
Below is the code to Exporting Crystal Report to HTML in VB.NET.
Dim CrDiskFileDestinationOptions As New DiskFileDestinationOptions
Dim CrFormatTypeOptions          As New HTMLFormatOptions
Dim vFormat As Integer
Dim CrExportOptions As New ExportOptions
Dim vRdReport As New ReportDocument
Dim sfd As SaveFileDialog
Dim vFileName As String = Nothing
vRdReport = vRptSource
sfd = New SaveFileDialog
If Not (vRptPath = "") Then
    sfd.InitialDirectory = vRptPath
End If
sfd.Filter = "Webpage, Complete(.htm;.htm)|.htm|Web Archive, Single file(.mht)|.mht|Webpage, HTML only(.htm;.html)|.html"
If sfd.ShowDialog = DialogResult.OK Then
    ' Set the disk file options.
     CrDiskFileDestinationOptions.DiskFileName = sfd.FileName.ToString()
Else
     Return
End If
CrExportOptions = vRdReport.ExportOptions
CrFormatTypeOptions.HTMLFileName = vFileName

CrFormatTypeOptions.HTMLEnableSeparatedPages = True
CrFormatTypeOptions.HTMLHasPageNavigator = True
CrFormatTypeOptions.UsePageRange = True
With CrExportOptions

                    .ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.HTML32
                    .DestinationOptions = CrDiskFileDestinationOptions.DiskFileName
                    .FormatOptions = CrFormatTypeOptions
End With
vRdReport.Export()
Catch ex As Exception
        MsgBox(ex.ToString)
End Try
Code working fine at Windows XP, But it is not woking in Windows 7 environment.
Please can anyone share your valuable thoughts or ideas reg. this.
Thanks in Advance

It looks like inheritance is broken in the component hierarchy for JFrame in Windows 7 JDK 1.6.0_23-b05. The only thing remotely related to inheritance in your code snippet is the WindowListener, which does little. See camickr's advice about built-in exit management.
EDIT - using the post title as a clue, I realize you may be talking about the component hierarchy, and whether the contentPane's background is visible through the upper layers. Instead of guessing, I'd prefer you describe your "issue" accurately (observed vs expected behavior).

Crystal Report not works in JAR File

I'm using Eclipse All in one, which includes Crystal Reports.. I Connected my Java program with Crystal Reports and its working properly. Now my problem is that the Report is not working in JAR files.. It throws some exception as
"com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKException: com.businessobjects
com.businessobjects.reports.sdk.JRCCommunicationAdapter---- Error code:-2147215357 Error code name:internal"
Whats the Error.. I don't know. I think that i may missed some CLASSPATH Files. The included CLASSPATH Files are:
ReportViewer.jar
jrcerom.jar
Concurrent.jar
CrystalCharting.jar
CrystalCommon.jar
CrystalContentModels.jar
CrystalExporters.jar
CrystalExportingBase.jar
CrystalFormulas.jar
CrystalQueryEngine.jar
CrystalReportEngine.jar
CrystalReportingCommon.jar
icu4j.jar
keycodeDecoder.jar
log4j.jar
MetafileRenderer.jar
rasapp.jar
rascore.jar
rpoifs.jar
Serialization.jar
URIUtil.jar
xercesImpl.jar
xml-apis.jar
and the mysql-connector jar file
Anybody help me please...

Unable to load database connector
'com.crystaldecisions.reports.queryengine..driverImpl.
DriverLoader
now you have any idea.. pleaseIs that a typo where you have two periods below?
queryengine..driverImplOther than that I don't think anybody here can help you with that. If your classpath includes all necessary JAR files and you are able to access all your resources from within your application JAR file, then I imagine there is a problem with the third-party crystal decisions JAR file or how you are attempting to use it.
My advice to you is to try and contact support with the vendor or provider of this API or possibly try posting on a support forum on their website to see if somebody can help you there.

CR XI R2: Crystal Reports freezes and crashes when I try to open a report

I added this question as a Reply to a message by nic2deep a month ago <Crystal Reports freezes every time I try to open a report.>, but got no response so I thought I'd try again on my own.
I have 2 laptops with CR XI installed (same problem from original R2 through SP 5). The old laptop is an IBM Thinkpad R51. The new one is an HP Elitebook 6930p. Both have the exact same software and versions of Win XP and network security.
If I try to open a report that has an "invalid printer" selected, it will open in the old IBM (with the message, 'This report uses an invalid printer. The default printer will be used instead'), but on the new HP, it freezes and I have to do a CtlAltDel to get out.
I've tried everything Don Williams suggested to nic2deep:
1) Open Contol Panel and add/remove programs and select CR. Do a repair install and if possible use the Custom Options and install all DB drivers and Export options, except Lotus Notes, unless you' re using them.
Results: Tried many times with no effect.
2) It may be that your firewall setting or anti-virus software is blocking access to system files or resources. When you do the repair install make sure to disable them and un-plug yourself from the network so you protect your PC while they are off line.
Results: Firewall was always OFF because network security handles all that. Can't turn off anti-VIrus, but both computers have the same antivirus system anyway.
3) Look in the System and Application Event logs in Admin tools; it may give you a clue what your PC is trying to get to and being denied.
Results: The only thing that is logged in Admin Tools when this happens is a "Security/Privilege Request" with no errors.
Clearly, when CR in the HP looks for the printer selected in the report and doesn't find it, that causes CR to freeze.
Any idea what difference between the 2 machines could cause this? Something in the Registry?
This is a royal pain, because I can only be on one computer at a time.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Debi,
Because in CR XI R2 it is WYSIWYG meaning we use both the display and the printer drivers to render the report. Same as what PDF does. If we can't find the printer the report was designed against, and all the placements of each object is dependent on the printer when designed, we have to default to your default printer to be able to calculate internally when to render the report objects and format the layout thus the message from CR indicating so.
Basically CR dynamically builds the page layout dependent on the local system. Also the reason why CR requires a default printer to be installed, if it's not then we use Microsoft's Generic Print driver. It's not that reliable either but we have to use something.
And another "for your info" is the same for our database drivers. Example, if you create a report off of MS SQL Server and then you want to view the SQL CR generates you need to log on first. This way CR can query the DB client and generate the SQL according to the DB. If you just want to see the SQL you could just set location to Access, problem with this is because CR dynamically generates the SQL according to the DB you set lcoation to we may change the SQL Statement and not actually show you what the report uses when connecting to the real database.
One of the side effects of supporting so many DB's and Printers and Video drivers. Sometimes drivers do non-standard functionality which CR did not anticipate or code on how to handle.....
This all changed in CR 2008, we are not as dependent on the printer driver but this created a whole new set of problems if you hadn't noticed from all the Printer problems posted.... But we are going back to the CR XI R2 printer functionality model to resolve all of the issues....
Thanks again
Don

Error while executing Crystal report in client computers

I got this error message -2147206460 Crystal Reports Activex Designer invalid directory. any idea guys how can i fix this. I tried using Crystal Report viewer in the server and its working perfectly.
thanks

is your report working on SAP from server machine or it only works on Crystal Report on server machine
IF your report is working on SAP server then, the problem is on sharing the .rpt file with client
Place the .rpt file in shared folder whichi is accessable from all the clients then use that .rpt file in SAP CR addon and update it
updating the path from each client system SAP towards shared .rpt file
do you have any firewall installed, try disabling within your network and check
This should Fix your problem
make sure the printer is shared and correct printer is set as default printer
if possible give a test print page from client to make sure the printer is online
Regards
Krish

Migrating from Crystal Reports Charts using TopN and "Other" to Reporting Services

I am currently migrating several Crystal Reports that have charts. The chart series is set to use the TopN values in a count, and combine the rest of the series into one series titled "Other". I see how to filter the chart using TopN, however I need to still show the rest of the data grouped as "Other". I think the solution I need is to create a group expression that uses some sort of IIF function to create the "Other" group, but I haven't found a function that I can use to get the results I need. Any ideas?

We were looking at report deployment options and evaluating SSRS vs Crystal Report Server. There were several reasons we decided to go with SSRS:
Cascading Parameters
Ability to use multiple data sets in one report
SSRS seemed more user-friendly than CRS
There were a few other considerations I can remember now, but the final reason was price. My company already had the licenses for SQL Server. However, even if that was not a consideration I still would have gone with SSRS.
Hope this info helps.
