I am trying to evaluvate Crystal Reports server XI release 2 and i face problems in integrating it with java. can sombody help me out?
Also when i try to open a report using INFOVIEW i get a cannot open connection error.
thank & regards,

What problems exactly are you running into? Are you getting errors? Also - the infoview error is most likely that the report can't connect to the database - or that the account that the Page or RAS server is running under can't see the database server. Try running the page server and RAS server under a user account that has domain privileges

Crystal Reports Server XI Release 2 - Automated clearing of user sessions.

I am having issues with unused user sessions not clearing automatically from the CMS Server after they have finished using "InfoView".
1) I have set their preferences to "always log me off InfoView" when closing the browser.
2) I have uncommented out the "SessionCleanupListener".
3) I have changed the "TokenSetting" to "False".
4) I have reduced the logout time to "2 minutes".
After trying these 4 changes individually and together the sessions are still not automatically clearing at all.
Please can someone advise and this is starting to get very frustrating.
Many Thanks
Nick.

Do you know if there is a fix available as this is on our Citrix Application servers and we need IE7 for other applications?
If not do you know how to send SAP a direct support question?
Many Thanks

Crystal Reports Server XI Infoview Error Messages

Just upgraded to Crystal Reports Server XI Release 2. I can create reports and save them using the enterprise method. The reports run fine in Crystal reports but when I try to view a report using Infoview I get the following messages:
Unable to retrieve object.
Library not registered.
If I change viewers the first line will be different but the second line will be the same.
All the servers are running and permissions look good. I've searched the web and this forum and could not find an answer.
Thanks,
mx_forever

Jock,
That is understandable as I just saw a typo in the dll name. I think more importanly we should check on a few other items.
1. I am presuming the Infoview/CMC applications are running in IIS. Is that true? Do you jave the java version installed as well? If so, attempt to open the report(s) there.
2. Is IIS is involved, Is there a valid virtual directory for crystalreportviewers115?
I have never seen anything with "Line 6" before. It may be a reference to the web.config file that specifies the viewers etc.

RAS Java API Exception on Crystal Reports Server XI R2

Hi
We download run the evaluation version of Crystal Reports Server XI R2 SP2.
Our web application uses RAS Java API to talk to Crystal Reports Server to open unmanaged reports.
        ReportClientDocument lo_ReportClientDoc = new ReportClientDocument(); //*** Cause exception
        ReportAppSession reportAppSession = new ReportAppSession();
        reportAppSession.createService(
          "com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.ReportClientDocument"); //*** Cause exception
        reportAppSession.setReportAppServer(servername);
        reportAppSession.initialize();   //*** Cause exception
        lo_ReportClientDoc.setReportAppServer(reportAppSession.getReportAppServer());
        lo_ReportClientDoc.open(asReportName,OpenReportOptions._openAsReadOnly);
        ReportServerControl control = new ReportServerControl();
        control.setReportSource(lo_ReportClientDoc.getReportSource());
The lines marked with "//*** Cause exception" above cause the following exceptions, although at the end the reports came up correctly. When we were running Crystal Reports Server XI (Release 1), we did not see this exception. Can you tell what is going wrong? Thanks.

Does CR 2008 work with Crystal Reports Server 11.5

I currently have CRS 11.5 and am using CRXI. I would like to upgrade CRXI to CR2008 (visual advantage), but not upgrade CRS at this time. Does CR2008 work with CRS11.5? Any known issues to be aware of?
Thanks,

Where to define .rpt file location in Crystal Report Server 2008

Hi all,
I have installed Crystal Report Server 2008 in my machine and trying to invoking the report from my java application. Earlier we have used Crystal Report Server XI Release 2 and in my java application i am passing crystal report server name, report name, parameters and it is woking fine in Crystal Report Server XI Release 2. But now I have installed Crystal Report Server 2008.
In Crystal Report Server XI Release 2, we have a option to provide the report directory folder from the computer. That is in Central Configuration Manager - > Right click on Report Application Server -> Properties -> Parameter Tab -> Change Option Type to Server and And Select directory which contains the .rpt files.
Like the same way, i need to give the report directory path in Crystal Report Server 2008. Then only the report server will find the report from the directory and display it. In my application i am passing the report name to the crystal report server. The report server will find the exact report from that folder from the local system and display it in application.
I can able to give the report file directory in Crystal Report Server XI Release 2, but cannot able in Crystal Report Server 2008.
Pls help me how could i do this?

Crystal Report Server - how to release concurrent user license

Hi all,
I have a client using Crystal report server 2008, they have 25 concurrent user license.
On all the services, the timeout properties is using the default 20 minutes timeout.
If user close a session by pressing the X, instead of clicking Logout, it did not release the license.
Example, instead of recording 12 active user session, it seems to show 15 user sessions where CR server shows that one of the users has 3 sessions open when in fact he only has one session.
Is there a way to resolve that?
From the forum post, I found one of them indicating that there is no solution to this. Is it true? I hope I am just missing something.

There are no session release tools built into XI other than restarting the CMS. If you want you can use SDK code [such as this |http://johnnyye.com/blog/2008/08/12/business-objects-xi-session-removal-tool/]to accomplish a psuedo session management.
In the current version of CRS the cms or code are the 2 best options. I'd keep a look out for changes in future service packs but I'm not aware of anything specific that will be done.

Tim

Crystal Reports Server 2008 dispose not closing document

Hey everyone,
I;m running some reports through Crystal reports 2008 server (no service packs) using the RAS sdk and Java.
This was working swimmingly for a while until yesterday when the server hosting the RAS and app server fell over. I tracked it down to a problem with the RAS server. The error i got in my logs was General Exception, Report SDK Exception Not enough memory for operation. I reran the process and when i watched task manager the memory being allocated to crystalras.exe went through the roof! it went from 50k to 1.8g of ram in under 10 minutes.
I tried lots of the other suggestions in here for the errors about memory that are similar to mine (increasing the heap memory etc.) and none of them worked.
One thing i noticed though is that when I run the process and watch the metrics page of the RAS server on the management console the number of Open documents does not decrease even though i am 100% totally and utterly calling .close and .dsipose after every report i open. Definitely. Ive debugged it a million times and it is calling these methods. It is successfully releasing the connections fine but does not seem to releasing the open documents. After the Open documents metric went down to 0 (im presuming after a timeout) the memory that crystalras.exe was reduced. I then changed the timeout tag in CRConfig.xml to 1 minute to see would this help out any but the open documents did not timeout any faster.
Would i be right in thinking that these open documents would be causing my problem of the aggregated memory? Im at my wits end here so any piece of help is greatly appreciated!

Hi Ted,
Thank you for getting back to me, i was on vacation there for a while so that is why i didnt get back to you.
When I call reportClientDocument.isOpen() just before i dispose of the report it is true and after i dispose of it it correclty returns false.
I am really stressing out over this as we are reduced to running 500 reports through the server (one after another) and then stopping the process and restarting the RAS server and then running another 500 reports.
crystalras.exe gets up to about 2g of ram consumed for only 500 reports.
I even changed some of the timeout settings on the settings page of the management console to see would they timeout and release the memory but alas it didnt release as much as a byte. I left it for 3 days and it didnt deallocate one piece of memory.
Im currently investigating is there some way from my code that I can restart the RAS server, either through the SDK or through a windows process or scheduled task.
Ted, as far as i can see there are no service packs for Crystal Reports Server 2008, is that right? when i go to the downloads page there only ones listed for release X1.
Thank you for your help.

How to print a report on crystal report server using webservice call

Hi,
I'm looking for web service api calls that help print a report on the crystal report server. Can someone post a snippet of how this is done.
Thanks,

Below is a snippet that uses the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI Release 2 version of the BIPlatform Web Services Java Consumer API:
Sincerely,

/* Printer name */
String printerName = "\\\\van-s-prt01\\VAN-P-BEAVERCREEK";
/* URL to Enterprise Web Services */
String servicesURL = "http://localhost:8080/dswsbobje/services";
Session ceSession = null;
Connection ceConnection = new Connection(new URL(servicesURL + "/session"));
EnterpriseCredential ceCredential = new EnterpriseCredential();
ceCredential.setDomain(cmsname);
ceCredential.setAuthType(authType);
ceCredential.setLogin(username);
ceCredential.setPassword(password);
try {
     ceSession = new Session(ceConnection);
     ceSession.login(ceCredential);
     ceConnection.setURL(new URL(servicesURL + "/biplatform"));
     BIPlatform bip = new BIPlatform(ceConnection, ceSession.getConnectionState());
     GetOptions getOpts =new GetOptions();
     getOpts.setIncludeSecurity(Boolean.FALSE);
     ResponseHolder rh = bip.get(reportPath, getOpts);
     InfoObjects infoObjects = rh.getInfoObjects();
     CrystalReport report = (CrystalReport) infoObjects.getInfoObject(0);
     ReportProcessingInfo processing = report.getPluginProcessingInterface();
    CrystalReportPrinterOptions printerOptions = processing.getReportPrinterOptions();
    printerOptions.setEnabled(Boolean.TRUE);
    printerOptions.setPrinterName(printerName);
     report.setSchedulingInfo(new SchedulingInfo());
     report.getSchedulingInfo().setRightNow(Boolean.TRUE);
     bip.schedule(infoObjects);
} finally {
     if(ceSession != null)
          ceSession.logout();

Crystal Report Server and IIS 7.0

IS Crystal report server compatible with Win 2008 server/IIS 7.0. If so how can I get it to work with IIS 7.0 It keeps generating windows DEP errors for w3wp.exe when trying to view the report through the Crystal report viewer.
Dep on my server is set to Windows services only. You can't turn off dep for W3wp.exe.
You no longer have the option to run in islation mode 5 either. This seems to be a worker process problem that I have not been able to figure out.
Thanks,
Robert

I'm assuming you're using XI Release 2 or older version that does not support Windows 2008 or IIS 7.
Newest version of Crystal Reports Server 2008 with upcoming Service Pack 1 should support Windows 2008 IIS 7, however, no official announcements have been made for supported platforms for SP 1.

Ted Ueda

How to install SharePoint MOSS 2007 PIK for Crystal Report Server XI R2?

My configuration is :
Moss 2007 without any Crystal Report or BO component. on one box with Windows 2003 server
Cyrstal Report Server XI R2 on another box
I have downloaded the kit installation: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/webcontent/uuid/503988db-58c5-2b10-f79d-cb96700417f9 [original link is broken]
I used this one as they said:
BusinessObjects XI Release 2 SharePoint 2007 Portal Integration Kit
Download BusinessObjects XI Release 2 SharePoint 2007 Portal Integration Kit - ZIP 5MB
I do not have BO Enterprise.
Thanks,

Answered my own question. Managed to upgrade to 5.0 following this process, but follow these instructions with care...
1. Stop all CMS services in Config Manager.
2. Go to Add/Remove programs and click "change" for Crystal Reports Server XI. Click on "Modify" then change the entry for MySQL4.1.13a to "Entire Feature will be unavailable" (from Enterprise -> Server Components -> Servers - > Central Management Server). This will remove the existing mySQL version and any data/license key information/customisation, so be wary.
3. Install the desired version of mySQL.
4. Use the MySql command line to create a new database - "create DATABASE BOE115;"
5. In the Central Config Manager, select the CMS and display its properties. Select the Dependencies tab and remove the old version of mySQL and add the new version. Click on the Config tab, then Select Datasource. Select mySQL driver, then complete the details for the newly created database. Once complete it will still produce an error, at which point you need to select the options to Re-create the Current Datasource.
6. Once the datasource is sucessfully recreated, restart the Crystal service in the Config Manager.
7. Open the Config tool, and add your license key. Then Re-Enable all the servers within the Servers page.
8. Any other customisation or preferences would need to be re-applied.
This worked for me, but obviously take care as your existing mySQL database will be completely removed during the process.

Two ways to create reports:
1) You install the Crystal reports Designer (CRW32.exe).
With your Crystal Report Server, you should also have received a second CD that would have the CR designer.
2) You use the RAS SDK and create reports on the fly using the RAS report creation APIs - .NET or Java. Since you are in the .NET developer forum, I assume you might be interested in the .NET RAS SDK. Here is a list of resources i would recommend:
