Crystal Reports SAPToolbar should work with BEx 7.x without needing BEx3.5

Hello,
first I would like to begin with the used versions in our landscape:
Clients:
- Windows 7
- Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 FP3.3
- SAP 7.20 Patchlevel 9
- Bex 7.x SP5
Servers:
- BOE XI 3.1 SP FP 3.3
- BW 7.01 SP5
Our problem is that the SAPToolbar in Crystal Reports requires Bex 3.5 and doesn't accept Bex 7.x. The start aborts with the following message:
COM exception caught in CExtToolBar::GetRemoteFileCookie(). HR = 0x80004005
COM exception caught in CExtToolBar::InitOpenSaveDialog(). HR = 0x80004005
You are connecting to BW server version < 702, please install BEx3.5 to use SAP Toolbar functionality.
Since the installation of SAPGUI 7.20, due to the fact that SAPGUI 7.10 is out of maintenance, BEx 3.5 is delivered as separately installable package and therefore not installed with SAPGUI 7.20. Further please note that full PAM support of BEx 3.5 cannot be granted by SAP - as Microsoft has removed, e.g., support for some components within Windows 7 that had been used by BEx Web Application Designer 3.5.
For further details please check the notes: 1322923, 1410878, 1424366 and 1391689.
Is there a solution for SAP Toolbar not supporting Bex 7.x? I know that the note 1196843 referencing to this issue and the support of SAP says more or less, that this is known and tracked but can't say when it will be solved. For me it's hard to understand, that BEx 7.x isn't supported.
Do other have the same problems? If yes please vote for the IDEA: https://cw.sdn.sap.com/cw/ideas/8186
Best Regards,
Michael Raab

Hi,
If i'm not mistaken, the 3.5 add-ins are still part of the SAP GUI 720 installer, but they need to be selected (ticked) to be installed.
Unfortunately, Crystal 2008 is considered a legacy tool, and as such, it still uses the old integration points. That add-in is also required for the Dashboard Design (xcelsius) SAP toolbar.

Crystal Reports has stopped working with Windows 7 and demo database

I'm trying to get back up to speed on Crystal Reports after 10 years away. I'm running Crystal Reports 2008 Standard with the just-released Service Pack 3 (same symptom with SP2).
So I downloaded the demo database and tried creating a new report. No problems creating a simple customer list. When I add the Orders table and link the CustomerID columns and then add the OrderDate column to the report, everything works fine. But as soon as I add the OrderID or OrderDate column, the application crashes.
Culprit seems to be MSVCR80.dll. Here's the log:
Faulting application name: crw32.exe, version: 12.3.0.601, time stamp: 0x4bd05d31

Suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Hello,
It may be that something was "fixed" and our default xml file falls out of the Standards now.
Are you wanting to connect to SQL or XML?
Go to Microsoft's site and search for C++ distribution and download and install the recommended one for windows 7. It may be that part is corrupt or our installer thinks it is there. Try doing a Repair install and custom options to select all of the DB drivers and exports types to see if that resolves the issue.
Thank you

Crystal Reports Version to Work With Vb 6 and VS 2008

Hi,
We have some legacy VB 6 applications which are too large to port over to Visual Studio which use Crystal 7.0
Recently at one site there have been problems with another application which uses a new version of Crystal. Either one or the other will work but not both. This might be solved by ugrading to Crystal XI R2 ( I believe that newer versions can run side by side). However, we also have new projects starting that are to be developed in VS 2008. As I understand it, Crystal XI R2 will not work with VS 2008 and CR 2008 will not work with VB 6.
We really donlt want to have to buy both versions !!
Anyone got any ideas ?
Many Thanks
Paul

CR 7 did not support side-by-side installs. Likely what is happening is the your app and the other app is loading crpe32.dll from the \windows\system32 folder. Which obviously will not support each other. This is the only dll that is common among all versions of CR, see below for more info, and that due to it's location can cause issues like this. Newer versions from 8.5 do version checking and athough the dll's have the same name XI R2 will not load other versions, there are exceptions. The exceptions are UFL and some legacy database drivers that will work in any and all versions.
A few possible work arounds, in your app do version checking when loading crpe32.dll or specifically if crpe32 is residing in a memory space that some other app has loaded it and Windows will share, check the version of the dll and if in your case it's not 11.5.x.x. then pop up a message indicating they must close the other Crystal app before continuing.
Move all the runtime files into the applications startup folder, what's specified in the Icon on the your desktop or short cut. Moving them there may fix this, we start looking for our runtime where your EXE is located and then in the working Folder, then in the \system32 folder and finally down the PATH statement. We also have hard coded specific location in our load methods. In this case you may have to rename the \windows\crystal folder from the CR 7 install. But I don't recall if this will break the CR 7 app.
Also if you are moving the version 7 runtime or the other app it may break that application so make note what you did so you can restore it. Also highly suggested to back up everything and test this on a test machine before applying to the production PC's.
You can use tools like Filemon and modules from our site. You can get filemon from www.sysinternals.com.
Other than that it will not likely work due to 7 not supporting side-by-side and will load anything it finds. And of course, Don't support or install both versions of software on the same PC.

Databases that Crystal Reports 9 can function with

Hi,
We are going to purchase Crystal Reports for the use with a new financial program that we will be purchasing. The financial program that we will purchase allows report customization within the program if using the Crystal Reports 9 engine. For that reason we are going to purchase Crystal Reports 9. Otherwise we would have to create custom reports outside of this program if using a more recent version of Crystal like 2008.
However we need to make sure Crystal Reports will work with our SQL Server 2005 database. I tried to research a bit on Crystal Reports 9 (of which currently I know nothing about) and came across this document when doing a search https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/202ff507-281f-2b10-78b6-b6bce2668d6b.
We also need Crystal 9.0 to work with Paradox and BDE databases. It looks like BDE 5.1 and Paradox 8 & 9 are listed as supported platforms. I also see SQL Server 2000 but do not see SQL Server 2005. Will Crystal Reports 9.0 work with a SQL Server 2005 database and also what are the plans for Crystal Reports 9.0 working with future versions of SQL like 2008?
thanks,
JW

Hi,
Can you tell me which is the lowest version of crystal reports that will work with BW 7.3?
If given any reference document also it will be useful.

Just adding to Vitaly's point that when you load CR 2008 Sp4, you also need to upgrade SAP IK to the same patch level i.e. SP4
You also have to load the respective transports for the service pack that you are loading.

Hi, did you get this working? I'm really struggling to get up and running on 2008 R2, the CMS service just refuses to connect to the database. It also looks like the database wasn't created properly during the install. I set it up on an MSDE database, and when I look at it with sql management studio the database is there but there aren't any tables or anything else
Can anyone either confirm or deny that its possible to run Crystal XI on 2008 R2?
The error I'm getting when trying to start the service is:
The root server reported an error Initialization Failure. (Reason: Unable to connect to the database using the provided connection string. Reason: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified).
I've confirmed that the ODBC connections work (both 32 bit and 64 bit) via the built in test, but Crystal for some reason isn't happy

APPCRASH - "Crystal Reports has stopped working"- windows message

Hi,
I had installed Crystal reports 2008 using valid license keycode on Windows Server 2008 machine ( crystal software not registered it in Sap portal for additional support) This was used for crystal reports development in .Net for few days, After 1 month or little more , the crystal reports stopped working and when launched from Start -> Programs -> Crystal Reports 2008 displayed a windows error message " Crystal Reports has stopped working ".
Following is the details about Problem from windows message
Problem Event name: APPCRASH
Application name: crw32.exe
Application version : 12.0.0.683
Fault Module Name: x2rpclB5.dll
Exception Code : c0000005
OS Version : 6.0.6001.2.1.0.274.10
I Uninstalled and reinstalled the application with valid license keycode and registered as well, but still the error remains same when the application is started.
Kindly suggest on how to resolve this issue.

Please note that this forum is dedicated to topics related to custom application development or deployment with Crystal Reports in .Net. This includes full versions of Crystal Reports as well as those versions of Crystal Reports bundled with Microsoft Visual Studio .Net.
Reports design, Crystal Reports (exe) installation and other issues should be posted to the [Report Design forum|SAP Crystal Reports;
Now, looking up the DLL,(x2rpclB5.dll) it appears to be a Xerox printer driver(?). You mention that this started to happen recently, so the question would be; was a Xerox printer driver installed? Also, see if either uninstalling the printer driver or installing any available updates fomr Xerox will resolve the issue.

Crystal Reports 8 stopps working when printing

I recently upgraded to CR 8 along with several other co-workers. I am able to launch the app and create reports just fine, but when I attempt to go to anything that has to do with printers, the app errors out.
When I attempt to print directly from the app, I get a message saying that Crystal Reports has stopped working and it asks if I want to close or debug.
When I attempt to go to the Page Setup, I get an error message saying "Out of Memory"
Other team members do not have these issues.
I have tried re-installing the app, but am still getting the same problems.
I am able to export the report and print from there, but not directly from CR 8.
I attempted to instal Service Pack 3 and got an error message saying that I did not have a recent enough version of the app.

Hi Dave,
First off, please minimize any version confusion. You keep referring to Crystal 8 which is over 10 years old but you told Don you are using Crystal 2008. That would definintely cause problems.
If you are upgrading from XI r2 and you are getting that upgrade message, that leads me to believe Crystal XI wasn't properly upgraded on your machine. I think the 2008 sp3 upgrade is still seeing XI r2. This may also be the reason 2008 is crashing when you try printing.
When you open Crystal 2008, go to Help | About Crystal Reports. I'm interested in knowing the version number.
When you uninstalled Crystal, what version is listed in the Add/Remove Software? What version did you uninstall?
Did you get any error messages when you uninstalled?
Thanks,
Brian

Crystal Reports XI crashes says "Crystal Reports has stopped working"

I'm on Crystal Reports Xi release 2 sp2, with windows 7, I also have visual studio 2008 installed.
When I try to add any fields or objects to a report in crystal reports it crashes and throws up a windows generic error message that says "Crystal Reports has stopped working" There is no additional error information besides that... I've tried a number of fixes, too many to list here, but no go, and apparently calling for tech support requires me to pay more money! ack. We've already paid for the product, I just want to use it..
Does this version of crystal reports even work on windows 7? if I could get a straight answer on that it would be a start anyway...
Sorry to be snippy, I'm just frustrated!!!

Upgrading to SP6 solved the issue. I originally thought sp4 was the newest because of this page: http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/additional_downloads/service_packs/crystal_reports_en.asp
which is out of date...
Thanks for the quick fix.

Crystal Reports has stopped working

I just installed Crystal Reports 2013. I am using Windows 7. The program opens up and everything looks normal but when I open a blank report and try to create a new connection, it immediately gives me the error "Crystal Reports has stopped working" and closes me out of the program. I talked to support and they told me to uninstall and reinstall the program. I tried that but still get the same exact error. Another support rep sent me an update to try. I tried that with the same results. Can someone please help me with this?

Hi Try setting the DEP.
1) Click Start > Run, > type sysdm.cpl, and then click OK.
2) On the Advanced tab, under Performance, click Settings.
3) On the Data Execution Prevention tab, click Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select > then click Add to add the CRW32.exe (You need to browse to the executable file)

Does Crystal Report XI R2 comes with Crystal Data Object (CDO)

Hi,
Does anyone knows if installation of crystal reports include Crystal Data Object (CDO) ? From the article(http://www.dataaccess.com/kbasepublic/KBPrint.asp?ArticleID=2183) it seems like it doesn't comes with the standard installation package in Crystal Report XI R2. Please advise. Thanks =)
Regards.

You need to pick "Crystal Data Objects" from the list of Data Access options offered by Crystal Reports when you are installing it -- that item is not selected by default.
To add that to your machine:
- Open Add/Remove Programs
- Select Crystal Reports 11 and click on the Change button
- Expand the tree under "Data Access"
- Select "Crystal Data Objects" and click on it
- Select it to be installed -- you will probably need your Crystal Reports CD to proceed with the installation.

How team should work with maven

Could somebody to explain how the team should work with maven.
For example.
10 developers and 1 team lead are working together.
Everyones has the own module in development.
Next, one made the changes in his module and marked it like
<version>1.3</version>? And say to neighbor whous modul is depend on his: "will be make your modul to point version 1.3 for my
<artifactId>his-app</artifactId>
<version>1.3</version> ? Or how?
If he to point the unexisting version the maven will swear.
And next. There's something pom.xml for team lead on top level of another modules of developers which team lead to use for assebling?
Help please to understand how to use this framework

It sounds like the functionality you are looking for is what maven calls snapshots. This allows developers to build and deploy the latest code base on the fly and maven can grab the latest releases without having to continually update the pom.

Error - Crystal Reports has stopped working

I have downloaded the CR 2011 trial, and I am trying to open a Crystal 7 report. The strange thing is that it was opening OK before, but has now stopped opening. Some of the Crystal 7 reports I have are able to be opened, and others are not.
The error is not helpful - Crystal Reports has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to the problem. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the CR 2011 trial, but this has not helped.
Has anyone had a similar problem?

Thomas,
Can you create a brand new reports against those Stored Procedures?
Are the .rpt files from CR 7 still have the old "last modified" date?
What if you try a middle CR version, like install temporary CR XIR2, open and save the reports and then try to open in the latest version?
Do you know if failing reports have any external links like Linked pictures, OLE objects, etc.?
Have you ever used Process Monitor utility? It may be helpful to identify what CR is trying to do.
Vitaly.
