Crystal Reports version 8.5 media needed.

We have a Crystal Reports server which crashed, and lost it's boot drive.
We need to obtain a "prior" version of Crystal Server software, believe it is 8.5
Install media to complete rebuild of this function.
Our backups had corrupted files on them, and the (virtual) server did not come back when rebooted.
Please let me know how we can obtain install media or other steps to take.
We need to maintain compatibility with an older application software package which is dependent on and linked to this Crystal server for reporting.
Thanks.

Visual Studio 2005/2008 and Crystal Reports versions/upgrade questions.

I've tried posting this question on the MSDN forums and gotten no response.
I've downloaded and installed VS 2008 Beta 2.   The versions on the Crystal Reports files included are 10.5.0.1806
I'm currently using VS 2005, with the included Crystal Reports. The versions on those files are 10.2.0.xxxx. I've created an desktop app (in VB) which stores it's data in a database and uses the CR 10 runtime merge modules to generate a report.
I was considering upgrading the Crystal Reports version to XI. I would like to allow customers to modify my delivered report with their own licensed copy of CR XI. I am not providing any functionality within my app to create or modify the delivered .rpt or use it outside my application.
Questions:
Do I need to update the runtime files to CR XI to support rpt files modified with CR XI? Current runtime files are being delivered with the CR 10 merge module.
I see a Crystal Reports for Visual Studio upgrade to CR XI.
Can I update the merge modules to CR XI and still use the CR for VS2005 for development?
Does it make any sense to update CR for VS 2005? Or to get the full CR XI Developer edition? My usage of CR functionality is very limited.
Would there be any benefit to waiting for the release of VS 2008?   How does that change the scenario?
How does Crystal Reports for Visual Studio fit in with the Crystal Reports Lifecycle? It's not mentioned on Business Objects End of Life Dates page . Crystal 10 has a Patch EOL of 31-Dec-07.   Does this apply to CR for VS 2005? Where does 10.5 fit in?
My main concern is allowing customers with CR XI to change the format of my delivered .rpt to run with my app. Adding their company name, logo, etc.   My testing show a CR XI report still works with my current app. But, going forward, what should I deliver and what do I need to use to continue development?

To use Reports designed in XI, you need to use XI or higher runtime, running them in older versions may work, but you may encounter unforeseen issues doing so.
If you are to use VS2005 for development you need to use XI Release 2 (11.5) runtime.
If you are going to use VS2008 for development you need to use Crystal Reports 2008 with Service Pack 0.
The support end of life for versions of Crystal Reports bundled with Visual Studio are linked to what Microsoft's lifecycle for the product is. Generally if there is a workaround for the issue that is simple enough, there will not be a patch created.
The changes you are expecting the customer to do can be accomplished with our RAS SDK which is available without using enterprise starting with Crystal Reports XIR2 SP2.

Integrate Crystal Reports version 11.5 and Visual FoxPro

Post Author: landc50
CA Forum: General
I have developed several softwares in Visual FoxPro while using Crystal Reports Version 7 as the major reporting tool.   It was easy to invoike Crystal reports from my applications, simply by adding the Crystal OCX onto the VFP form.
Now --- I have added the ActiveXReportViewer from version 11.5 onto my VFP form.    Looks ok but it I am not sure how to invoke the reports in Maximized mode.   Seems like it will only show the report the same size as the object I placed on my VFP form.
I need to know how to do this yesterday.   I must implement a new system and I do not want to revert back to Crystal reports version 7.   Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
I would recommend you have an empty form and drop the viewer on that form. Set the form's state to Maximize.
Good luck,

Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio 2010 Problem

Dear all,
I encounter a problem after installed the crystal report version for Visual Studio 2010. Once I call
                       ReportDocument.PrintToPrinter(1,False, 0, 0)
The error message prompt:
Report is unavailable(Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection. Parameter name:index)
If I try
                         ReportDocument.PrintToPrinter(1,False, 1, 1)
It can print the 1st page of the report.
I also try to create a simple report. It works.
After installed this version, my reports also encounter the same problem in Visual Studio 2008.
My report has sub-reports. My PC is Windows XP.
Anybody has idea on this issue!?

Now you can set the various printer options using the PrintOutputController. I'm using a UI box to select the printer but your developer should be able to figure this out. If not you can include him in the e-mail, it would be fine to go direct. Of course you will stay in the thread:
     private void btnSetPrinter_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
          System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument pDoc = new System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument();
            CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.PrintReportOptions rasPROpts = new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.PrintReportOptionsClass();
          // Use the next line if you need to, you'll ahve to test. Depends on how the reports were saved.
            //CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.PrintOptions.DissociatePageSizeAndPrinterPaperSize = true;
            //CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.ISCRPrintOptions.DissociatePageSizeAndPrinterPaperSize = true;
            //pDoc.DefaultPageSettings = pgSettings;
            PrintDialog dlg = new PrintDialog();
            dlg.Document = pDoc;

                    MYPRTOpts.PrinterName = cboCurrentPrinters.Text;

Silverlight and Crystal Reports Version 11.2

Hello
a customer works with Crystal Reports Version 11.2. Is it possible to create a Silverlight Application (in order to set the parameters) and then call the RPT-File? Is there a link for an example?
What I have found so far is this blog entry: http://www.global-webnet.net/blogengine/post/2009/01/06/Running-Crystal-Reports-from-Silverlight.aspx
... But nobody can tell me which version of Crystal Reports is needed.
Thanks!
Bernhard

Hi Bernhard,
From the looks of the Design in your link it does appear to be a newer version of CR. It may be version 10.2 or 10.5 that comes with VS 2005 and 2008 he was using. If it was then R2 should work also.
There is a link to Contact the blogger, ask him what versions he was using.
Unfortunately we have not done any testing with silver light so can't say if it will work. Add your request to the Idea Place link above, search first, and then vote for it if found. Program Managers do watch it closely and they will add it if enough people request it.
Thank you
Don

Is crystal reports correct for me / my needs?

i'm wondering if crystal reports is correct for my needs. i don't mind investing the time / money to figure this out, but i really can't waste any time so i thought i'd ask the question first
is crystal reports correct for my needs?
some detail of my needs:
1. the report would be similar to an IKEA catalog: lots of pictures, different layouts (so different reports merged into one). reports need to "look bitchin'". needs to be "printer ready" in regards to size, crop lines, page numbers, etc. my main concern here is basically "how limiting is crystal reports in data placement on the page"?
2. the data would come from a relatively large db (MS SQL, Oracle, mySQL, and maybe others). size: about 40 million record main table, with supporting tables (i.e., relational). the db is not encrypted and is accessible if you have the main password.
3. i would like to send the reports to something like PDF, but also to excel and text file.
4. i would like to offer the reports to my clients as part of my own software package, so hopefully this consists of an .exe file only (no updates required, etc).
i would prefer to talk to a live person about this, or ideally see a quick demo of what is possible with crystal reports. is this possible?

Hello,
Pictures can be a problem, they take up a lot of report space. I assume your pictures are in the database? Large reports get very large quickly with pictures ( ole object ).
What you could do is download the trial version of CR 2008 and the sample reports:
Go to this link: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc and download the trial version of CR XI R2 and use your XI keycode, then apply the patches which you can get to by clicking on the BusinessObjects tab above, then Downloads.
Direct link to the Trial version: http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx
I also suggest you call Sales, they can send you links for demo's etc.

Print Issue in VS 2010 Crystal Report Version 13.0.1.220

Hi Friends,
I am new user for SAP crystal report,
can any one help me for
Print Issue in VS 2010 Crystal Report Version 13.0.1.220

Font must be True Type and on the WEB server where the report is being processed.
Run Process Monitor and see if your app is loading the Font....
Typically if the characters show up as a box it means either the font you are using does not support UNICODE characters, it's not installed so font substition is done but the font used doesn't have the Glyph's required or there is a permission issue with the font being instlaled under a local User account and should be installed under the Admin account.
Also, Search for Font and Windows Framework, there are known limitations with .NET Framework and some fonts.
What font are you using?

How to do crystal reports in bi-7 i need clear steps

how to do crystal reports in bi-7 i need clear steps

Hi,
Please read the following documents.
I am sure that this is going to help you in creating crystal reports.
Regards,
Subha
Pls grant me points if it is found useful
Use
The Reporting Agent allows you to precalculate BEx queries (as useful queries) for Crystal reports in the background. This is a device used to improve system performance when executing Crystal reports.
Prerequisites
·        In the BEx Query Designer, you have defined a useful query for Crystal Reports and determined variables for the required characteristics.
·        You may want to apply a filter when precalculating this useful query using a control query (see Parameter Filtering in the section below). In this case, you need to have created an additional suitable query in the BEx Query Designer.
The associate variable must have the type Changeable with Query Navigation. Other variables can have any type.
Procedure
       1.      Choose the REPORTING_AGENT transaction code.
       2.      Select Precalculating Crystal Reports Queries and choose Execute.
       3.      Navigate to the required query in the left-hand Reporting Agent Settings tree.
       4.      You have the following options for creating a new setting:
-         Choose New Setting from the context menu.
-         Choose Create New Setting.
The New Reporting Agent Setting dialog box appears.
       5.      Enter a technical name and a description.
The following information is displayed on the General tab page:
-         The functional area of the setting is Precalculation of Crystal Reports Queries.
-         Information about the query for which you are creating a setting is shown under the Query group header (description, technical name, InfoProvider).
-         After the setting has been saved for the first time, the system displays details of the last person who changed the setting and the time this change was made, under the Last Changed On/By group header.
-         Under the Setting is Used in Packages group header, the system displays information about the packages in which the setting is used, and how they are scheduled. This information can only be displayed if you have defined the setting and assigned one or more scheduling packages to it.
       6.      Choose the Parameters tab page.
       7.      Determine whether precalculation of the Crystal Reports queries are to be parameterized using a filter and using variants.
For more information and recommendations for choosing parameters in a straightforward example, see Parameterizing Crystal Reports Queries Setting.
Filtering Parameters
No Filters
When you do not want to use a control query to precalculate variables, choose No Filter.
You can combine this option with parameterization using Variables (see below).
Explicitly Using Query Result
If you want to use a control query when filtering, choose Explicitly Using Query Result. You can now make entries in the Control Query and Variants fields.
Specify the technical name of the control query. Input help is available. After you save your entries, the system updates the information according to your selections.
You only need to specify a variant when the control query contains input-ready mandatory variables. This does not happen very often, however.
You can combine this option with parameterization using Variables (see below).
Parameter Variants
After making your setting for filtering a parameter, you can process variant for the individual characteristic values of the variables set in the useful query.
Note: The variable screen only offers such variables when they have not already been filled by the control query. (This can also include variables of type Changeable with Query Navigation, as long as they arent filled by the query).
You can choose from the following functions:
Create a Variant
A dialog box appears in which you can choose values for the SAP variables used in the useful query, in the Query Selection area. Input help is available for those InfoObjects for which SAP variables have been created.
Enter the required data.
Choose .
Change Variants
Delete Variants
If you have already created one or more variants, the system lists these in the lower part of the screen. Choose the variants you want to change or delete and choose the appropriate function.

Crystal Reports Version Question

Hello,
I am developing a web site using vs 2010 and the compatible version as downloaded from here. I have come across a small issue that I'm sure is easily solvable but I can't find any references to it. When I try to run this solution on another machine or server with crystal reports 10 installed I notice that the graphs colours aren't matching to as set in the report. I understand that this is a version issue but without installing vs 2010 and then the crystal report version supported onto another machine. Is there away or an installation just so that the reports work as expected (fo this version without installing vs 2010).
I tried downloading the redist 32 bit version from here and updating the config file accordingly but when I then generate a report I'm getting a database logon failed error.
Note that if I change the webconfig file back to 10.2.3600.0 from the recently changed 13.0.2000.0 then the report works as expected, except the graph colours aren't using the conditional colours.
Am I doing something horribly wrong?
Cheers,
John.
Edited by: John Arran on Mar 2, 2011 3:11 PM

I'm not sure I understand the details here - I htink the description gets a bit muddled as it goes. E.g.; this:
I understand that this is a version issue but without installing vs 2010 and then the crystal report version supported onto another machine. Is there away or an installation just so that the reports work as expected (fo this version without installing vs 2010).
is a source of confusion for me(?).
In any case, CRVS2010 and CR 10.2 should be (as far as I know, are) side by side compatible. Based on my interpretation of the statement above, I wonder about the runtime being deployed. The CRVS2010 runtime is here:
MSM
http://downloads.businessobjects.com/akdlm/cr4vs2010/CRforVS_mergemodules_13_0.zip
MSI 32 bit
http://downloads.businessobjects.com/akdlm/cr4vs2010/CRforVS_redist_install_32bit_13_0.zip
MSI 64 bit
http://downloads.businessobjects.com/akdlm/cr4vs2010/CRforVS_redist_install_64bit_13_0.zip
Are you using one of the above to deploy the crvs2010 runtime?

Crystal reports version 12 vs version 11

my company purchased crystal reports version 11 and got version 12 in error of course version 12 is an upgraded version so it was a keeper-----our hosting payroll site only works with version 11 and they said it would not be a problem if we created reports in version 12 that they could still provide data through our ODBC connection
all our reports were created in version 12 and successfully produce data--but suddenly 1 report does not work and of course they now say that they can only run the report if it is built in version 11--
so the it would not be a problem now is, i feel they changed something on their side that is causing this particular report not to read, a tek issue...but they say by grace of ... was the way the report ever worked, but than why do all other reports still work now???
is there any way to use our version 12 key product to get a downgraded version 11 to create this report?
or open the report using version 12 and export it as a version 11?
or if i recreate the report would the glitch on their side go away?

Crystal 2008 (version 12) reports can be opened in Crystal XI (version 11) and saved there. If you don't have access to a copy of Crystal XI, could you possibly see whether the payroll company can downgrade it for you?

Crystal Reports version 10.0.0.53327 supported on Windows Server 2003 R2?

Hello,
We are currently using Crystal Reports version 10.0.0.53327 with a ASP web application on Windows 2000 Server. We are in the process of upgrading the web server to Windows Server 2003 R2 but have encountered problems with the print feature in the application when printing reports using Crystal Reports. We have duplicated every setting from the original web server on the new web server down to each registry entry and DLL file for Crystal Reports but continue to have a problem. Are there any known compatibility issues with our version of CR and Windows Server 2003 R2?
Any information or assistance provided will be greatly appreciated.
Morgan

You are not giving enough info re. the actual issue. E.g.; encountered problems with the print feature is a bit "loosy goosy". What are the details of the printing issue? Errors? Incorrect printing? Etc.
Taking a wild guess here, but do have a look at [this|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_erq/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes.do] kbase.
If that does not help, do search these forums as well as the kbase:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/advancedsearch?cat=sdn_ossnotes&query=&adv=true
And if that does not help, provide more info. Oh, also search for latest updates for CR 10 here:
http://service.sap.com/sap/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm
And finally, specify how you deploy the CR 10 runtime to that server.

Migrate Crystal Reports version 9 to Crystal Reports version 12

I have gone through some of the threads in this forum related to migration of Crystal reports from a previous version to CR 12.
Though it has helped me to a certain extent, the problem still isnt solved.
First, I have not worked with Crystal Reports earlier; this is my first attempt.
Second, I have an application which uses CR version 9 to convert to pdf.
The application is written in VS 2003. The application is hosted under Windows Server 2008 R2; Crystal Reports 12 runtime installed on the Server.
I have downloaded the VSIM for VS 2003. The reference dlls seem to have been upgraded to CR 12. However, when I run the application in the Server, I get the famous
"Either the Crystal Reports registry key permissions are insufficient or the Crystal Reports runtime is not installed correctly.
Please install the appropriate Crystal Reports redistributable (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."
error.
Oh, Just for the Info - this application works perfectly fine in my development environment under the Windows XP OS.
Would somebody out there please help me in resolving this issue?
I have spent a lot of time on this issue, doing research on my own and failing miserably.

Download [Modules|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006252802008E/modules.zip] and compare what dlls are loading on the server as opposed to your dev computer. Then adjust as needed.
