Crystal Reports Java Viewer

I need to be able to view web reports of a payroll aplication. The payroll vendor told me that I need to install a Crystal Reports with the java viewer component. I am not going to develop I just need to view web reports.
Which Crystal Reports version should I use?

Crystal Report Viewer 2008 can be used.
Pls find the link. http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/00db6f5d-ada7-2a10-6bb3-f428e80c948f?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
It might help!

Barcode not displaying/printing in Crystal Report java viewer

We have written a Crystal report (in Developer XI release 2 with service pack 4 installed) which produces barcode labels. The barcodes are Code 39 barcodes and are generated by printing the string \*data_field\* in a Code 39 barcode font. The asterisk is the character used for the Code 39 start/stop sequence in the barcode font.
In Developer everything works fine and prints out and scans correctly. When we make the report available to our end users in the Crystal Reports java viewer all we get where the barcode should appear is white space on screen or when we print. (The rest of the report behaves correctly).
We have tried a few things and have found that if both asterisks or the starting or ending asterisk is left in a different font (i.e. not the barcode font) then the rest of the string displays and prints in the barcode font. (unfortunately without bot asterisks you don't get a scanable barcode).
Has anyone got any suggestions on how to fix this?
(In case it might be relevant the barcode font we are using is this one: http://www.barcodesinc.com/free-barcode-font/)
Thanks

Hello Ludek,
                I have found that the issue is caused by the bold attributes of my field.
                You can try the following and you should encounter the same issue:
                                - Create a Report
                                - Create a formula with many characters
                                - Put you field in Times New Roman bold 8.
                The following Font Size in Times New Roman are in issue: 5 u2013 8 u2013 11- 14
                The following Font Size in Arial are in issue: 8 u2013 11 u2013 12 u2013 14
Thank you.

Unicode Hindi Printing in Crystal Report Java Viewer

I am facing a strange problem. We have a report made in Crystal Report 11.5 which contains Unicode Hindi Text. The reports are viewed using Java Plugin Viewer. The report successfully dispalyed in the Java Viewer with proper hindi encoding in the web browser(both firefox and IE). But whenever I try to print the information, the hindi text are not printed properly, the dependant vowel signs are dislocated.
But the same page is displayed and can be printed properly from a Linux Machine, Using firefox browser..
any solution to this strange behaviour.

Only option I can think of, is to create your own printer dialog and capture the cancel print event there.
You will not be able to get at the print cancel event of the printer dialog displayed by the CR viewer print button.

Hi Saurabh Lamba,
Go To Administration / System Initialisation / Authorisation / General Authorisation & Set Authorisation for user.
If you have to Set Authorisation for user allready then follow this steps.
1.Restore Database as Test Company.
2.Export Report From Live Company.
3.Import this Report in Test Company as different name.
4.Export Report from Test Company have you Imported as deifferent name.
5.Again Import this Report in Live company as different name
I don't know what's the logic behind it.

Crystal Report Java Reporting Component Query

Hi,
If I am using the Crystal Report Java Reporting Component, do I need any other Crystal Report software to be installed during run time?
Thanks.

Hi Ron,
the desired guides can be found here:
http://help.sap.com/javadocs/cr/xir2/index.html
http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/businessobjectsxi/en/en/JRC_SDK/default.htm
The reason why you might not find the guide is as of Crystal Reports 2008 the JRC was integrated into the Crystal Reports for Ecplise package and is not availble separately anymore. See also the What' new-guide of Crystal Reports 2008 here:

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.

Crystal Reports 2008 viewer, print function, Comunication error

I installed cr2008 on a web server and isntalled sp0
if I bring up a reprot in smartviewer from a client it works and I can print
once I installed sp1, sp2 and or sp3 for crystal reports 2008 the print button in crystal reports viewer gives an error when I click the print button.
If I remove and re-isntall cr2008 and just installed sp0 the print button works again
Is there a fix to make the print button work in crystal reports smart viewer once sp1 or above have been installed
thank you

Translating the error message on bablefish I get:
Mistake with the store of the data bank information. Mistake in the file Report {C6512421-348A-4621-B1ED-895D28646A0A} .rpt
Which I'm sure is not 100% accurate, but it gives a good hint. As well, because of this:
"Do I need to install an additional / diffrent runtime than 2008 Runtime"
I wonder how you installed the CR 12 runtime on that computer? For more info on CR runtimes, see [this|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/CrystalReportsforVisualStudio.NETRuntimeDistribution-Versions9.1to12.0] wiki.
If my suggestion above does not help, make sure the Win\temp directory can be accessed buy the application. Crystal Reports runtime needs to write and read files from the temp directory.

Parenthesis in a parameter throws error in Crystal Reports Web Viewer.

The application that I am working on is passing a parameter which contains user data like section numbers....
So when we pass the value 123.1(a) , here what is happening behind the scene of CR viewer
webSource0.AddParameter "promptex-NAMEOFPARAMETER", "123.1%28a%29"
and it throws up the following error
"The syntax of the value for prompt 'NAMEOFPARAMETER' is incorrect. Please correct the syntax and try again"
I have no idea why it is throwing up this errror.... and we cannot avoid parenthesis.
It works without any error in the actual crystal report developer.
Is this some kind of bug or is there any workaround for this.
Version that I have:
Crystal Report web Viewer Control 11.5
Crystal Developer 11.0.0.1282
Thank you,
Xavier

I figured out the answer. It was the ASCII notation for double qoutes which was confusing crystal.
%22 is the ASCII for ", but it is then converted to %2522 which confuses crystal
so I used HTML notation for double quote instead of %22 and is converted to %22 , and it works fine.
Thanks for the help anyways

Regarding LOV's in Crystal Reports- Business View

Post Author: crystalappu
CA Forum: General
Hi All, I have developed a Business View for our crystal reports, We have like two levels of cascading prompting. In which the user can select ALL option in drop down LOV's in second level. I have added an 'all' object using command object in Business View. But when my Crystal report Developer is accesing my LOV prompt Group he is unable to see ALL in drop down LOV. But when i browse field in my command object i can see my 'ALL' object in it. Any idea upon this?

Perhaps you should post an example or explain using technical information how you added this command object?
Did you use a UNION ALL?

Cannot load report from server in Crystal Reports 2013 Viewer

Hello,
I am having trouble opening a report that is hosted on a Crystal Reports Server (2013) from the Crystal Viewer. I've created and uploaded the reports using the report designer (version 2013). The reports have been uploaded using the "Save As -> Enterprise" to save to my enterprise server. This part works fine. I then navigated to the Crystal Reports Viewer to open my report (that I just uploaded w/ the designer) from the server. Depending on the report, one of two things happens:
1.) I get a loading bar at the bottom right of the screen that says "Operation in progress . . ." followed by an error message:
Unable to Refresh Report
A problem occurred while refreshing on the server. The report may not be configured properly for refresh.
Please contact your server administrator. (me)
2.) I get a loading bar at the bottom right of the screen that says "Refreshing <file name of the report> (<server name>)" followed by... nothing. The loading bar goes away and nothing happens. It goes back to the screen that shows when the application first loads (blank canvas).
I've taken some basic troubleshooting steps to try and rule out any potential issues that came to mind, but I've not been successful.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Geographical Map does not show up in Crystal Reports 2008 Viewer

Hi,
I'm facing a problem by creating maps with CR2008 SP2. If I export the report directly to an pdf or html file the map is shown properly. If I'm using the CR 2008 Viewer to open the .rtp file there's an error message like 'not supported object: geographical map'.
Anyone else facing such problems?
Thanks for help,

Export from Crystal Reports 2008 viewer fails if run on separate thread

I have a windows desktop application written in Visual Basic using Visual Studio 2008. I have installed and am trying Crystal Reports 2008 to run a report. Everything seems to work well except that when I preview a report (using the viewer control) and click the export button found in the upper left corner of that control, I get the following message:
Error 5: Current thread must be set to single thread apartment (STA) mode before OLE calls can be made. Ensure that your Main function has STAThreadAttribute marked on it. This exception is only raised if a debugger is attached to the process.
I am a little confused on what to do exactly. Is the problem because I am running in the Visual Studio 2008 IDE? It says this exception is only raise if a debugger is attached to the process. No, I tried running it outside the IDE. The exception wasn't generated but the application hung when the button was clicked.
It says the current thread must be set to single thread apartment (STA) mode. If the report is run on its own thread, is the "current" thread the thread the report is running on or is the main application's UI thread? I don't think I want to set my main application to single thread apartment mode because it is a multi-threaded application (although I really don't know for sure because I am new to multi-threaded programming).
My objective is to allow reports to run asynchronously so that the user can do other things while it is being generated. Here is the code I use to do this:
 ' Previews the report using a new thread (asynchronously)
 Public Sub PreviewReportAsynch(ByVal sourceDatabase As clsMainApplicationDatabase)
 Dim backgroundProcess As System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker
 ' Start a new thread to run this report.
 backgroundProcess = New System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker
 Using (backgroundProcess)
 ' Wire the function we want to run to the 'do work' event.
 AddHandler backgroundProcess.DoWork, AddressOf PreviewReportAsynch_Start
 ' Kick off the report asynchronously and return control to the calling process
 backgroundProcess.RunWorkerAsync(sourceDatabase)
 End Using
 End Sub
 Private Sub PreviewReportAsynch_Start(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs)
 ' The source database needed to call preview report was passed as the only argument
 Call PreviewReport(CType(e.Argument, clsMainApplicationDatabase))
 End Sub
 ' Previews the report. From the preview window, the user can print it.
 Public Function PreviewReport(ByVal sourceDatabase As clsMainApplicationDatabase) As FunctionEndedResult
 Dim errorBoxTitle As String
 Dim frmPreview As frmReportPreview
 ' Setup error handling
 errorBoxTitle = "Preview " & Name & " Report"
 PreviewReport = FunctionEndedResult.FAILURE
 On Error GoTo PreviewError
 ' Set up the crxReport object
 If InitializeReportProcess(sourceDatabase) <> FunctionEndedResult.SUCCESS Then
 GoTo PreviewExit
 End If
 ' Use the preview form to preview the report
 frmPreview = New frmReportPreview
 frmPreview.Report = crxReport
 frmPreview.ShowDialog()
 ' Save any settings that should persist from one run to the next
 Call SavePersistentSettings()
 ' If we got this far everything is OK.
 PreviewReport = FunctionEndedResult.SUCCESS
PreviewExit:
 ' Do any cleanup work
 Call CleanupReportProcess(sourceDatabase)
 Exit Function
PreviewError:
 ' Report error then exit gracefully
 ErrorBox(errorBoxTitle)
 Resume PreviewExit
 End Function
The variable crxReport is of type ReportDocument and the windows form called 'frmPreview' has only 1 control, the crystal reports viewer.
The print button on the viewer works fine. Just the export button is failing. Any ideas?

Hi Trevor.
Thank you for the reply. The report document is create on the main UI thread of my application. The preview form is created and destroyed on the separate thread. For reasons I won't get into, restructuring the code to move all the initialization stuff inside the preview form is not an option (OK, if you a really curious, I don't always preview a report, sometimes I print and/or export it directly which means the preview form isn't used).
What I learned through some other research is that there are some things (like COM calls and evidently some OLE automation stuff) that cannot be run on a thread that uses the MTA threading model. The export button probably uses some of this technology, thus the message stating that an STA threading model is required. I restructured the code as follows to accomodate this requirement. Here is a sample:
' Previews the report using a new thread (asynchronously)
 Public Sub PreviewReportAsynch(ByVal sourceDatabase As clsMainApplicationDatabase)
 Dim staThread As System.Threading.Thread
 ' Start the preview report function on a new thread
 staThread = New System.Threading.Thread(AddressOf PreviewReportAsynchStep1)
 staThread.SetApartmentState(System.Threading.ApartmentState.MTA)
 staThread.Start(sourceDatabase)
 End Sub
 Private Sub PreviewReportAsynchStep1(ByVal sourceDatabase As Object)
 Dim staThread As System.Threading.Thread
 ' Initialize report preview. This includes staging any data and configuring the
 ' crystal report document object for use by the crystal report viewer control.
 If InitializeReportProcess(DirectCast(sourceDatabase, clsMainApplicationDatabase)) = FunctionEndedResult.SUCCESS Then
 ' Show the report to the user. This must be done on an STA thread so we will
 ' start another of that type. See description of PreviewReportAsynchStep2()
 staThread = New System.Threading.Thread(AddressOf PreviewReportAsynchStep2)
 staThread.SetApartmentState(System.Threading.ApartmentState.STA)
 staThread.Start(mcrxReport)
 ' Wait for step 2 to finish. This blocks the current thread, but this thread
 ' isn't the main UI thread and this thread has no UI anymore (the progress
 ' form was closed) so it won't matter that is it blocked.
 staThread.Join()
 ' Save any settings that should persist from one successful run to the next
 Call SavePersistentSettings()
 End If
 ' Release the crystal report
 Call CleanupReportProcess(DirectCast(sourceDatabase, clsMainApplicationDatabase))
 End Sub
 ' The preview form must be launched on a thread that use the single-threaded apartment (STA) model.
 ' Threads use the multi-threaded apartment (MTA) model by default. This is necessary to make the
 ' export and print buttons on the preview form work. They do not work when running on a
 ' thread using MTA.
 Public Sub PreviewReportAsynchStep2(ByVal crxInitializedReport As Object)
 Dim frmPreview As frmReportPreview
 ' Use the preview form to preview the report. The preview form contains the crystal reports viewer control.
 frmPreview = New frmReportPreview
 frmPreview.Report = DirectCast(crxInitializedReport, ReportDocument)
 frmPreview.ShowDialog()
 End Sub
Thanks for your help!

Crystal report Java Beans Connectivity

Hi
My name is Bach Ong. I.m currently migrating Crystal reports 10 to Crystal reports 2008 using Java Beans Connectivity. Using ResultSet as dataset. all results are return alright, EXCEPT for string type fields. The data for STRING type fields are some how suppressed. But if i executed the beans within eclipse the the string field is populated with data.
can someone assist me with this issue.
Thanks
Bach Ong

Some suggestions I would give for this are:
1. It may be a fault with the data itself. Specifically, if you have a string field that contains invalid or null data (Instead of an empty string), it may be causing an error to be thrown when the report engine tries to process the string fields - and it thus fails on all string fields.
So please try this with some data where all fields contain valid non-null, non-empty data and see if it works.
2. One of the difficulties with javabeans is that they don't give proper error messages. However, there is a way to kick off the javabean java process in the crystal report designer which allows you to debug your javabean inside the report designer. I have attached a sample that shows how to do that - and that should get you the real error message of what is going wrong.
Note: Due to the way these forums work - it will only let me attach a file if it is named with the .txt extension. You will need to extract the txt file and then rename it to .zip (annoying I know).
