Crystal Reports Viewer 2008 and parameter fields

Hello,
I saw this product on the main Crystal Reports site this afternoon and decided to download it to try it out. I have a number of users who would benefit from being able to preview their report results prior to actually running the report. This seems like the perfect product. I have a large number of Crystal Reports which were created in Crystal version XI. I also downloaded the free 30 day version of Crystal Reports 2008 yesterday to see what new features are there.
While testing Crystal Reports Viewer, I tried to run one of my reports which needs a parameter to run properly (account number). This type of parameter is needed for probably 98% of this business' reports.
The problem: Crystal Reports Viewer does not prompt me to input the parameter. In my actual Crystal Report, I had the box "Save Data with Report' left unchecked, as the account number frequently changes. However, if that box is left unchecked, Crystal Reports Viewer will give me the error message "No Saved Data. This report file does not contain saved data and cannot be viewed. To get data into the report, please open and re-save it in the Crystal Reports designer application with the "Save Data with Report" option selected."
Thinking that possibly it was the version of Crystal Reports in which the report was created (XI), I downloaded the free trial of Crystal 2008 and created a very simple test report with one parameter for account number where the account number is retrieved from our database. And I am having the same trouble.
The "Help" section of Crystal Reports Viewer tells me that I can select my parameters in the parameter panel. I do not see anything in my parameter panel other than the words "Current Data Set Last refreshed: 04/12/10 2:58 PM". The help tells me that I can "select the parameter directly in this panel by entering a new value", but there is no option to do so.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks,
Noel

What I've learned is that I was originally using Crystal Viewer XI and upon opening it I received a message indicating there was an update.
I ran the update which put me on Crystal Viewer 2008.
Since then I have not been able to refresh my screen to bring up the parameters.
See the attached forum for another post concerning this same issue.

Problem in Crystal Report Viewer 2008

Dear all,
I found that the crystal report viewer 2008 (Windows XP) could not display report properly when the file extension is in upper case. (report.RPT). In order to view this report, I must launch the viewer and click file --> open --> select file name.
After rename the file name to report.rpt, I can the report by double click report file.
This problem does not exist in Crystal Report Viewer XI. Any people encounter this problem?

Windows 2000 is not supported in current versions of CR. Check the platforms PDF file.

Database query using report parameters in Report Viewer 2008 and CR-XI

Hi - I have written a report for in-house use on an Access database. The report uses parameters to filter the record selection for reporting. The report operates fine in Crystal XI, but in Crystal Report Viewer 2008, the parameters are not shown and appear to be inaccessible. Is there a way to query the database in CRV2008, as opposed to simply showing the data that was saved from CR-XI in the report? Would I have to use the Crystal Server to do this? Is there a no-cost solution that I could use instead of CRV2008 for such functionality?
Thanks - Barney

Hi Barney,
As noted CRV is for reports with saved data only, no prompting allowed. I'll move this post to the OnDemand forums, possibly they have suggestions a s work around.
You should call our Sales team and describe your situation, possibly they have a low cost solution for you.
If you have a .NET or Java developer available you could always write and host your own WEB app that would be simple to use and should not take to much to do.
We have samples that you could use so most of the work is done for you.
Thank you
Don

Difference between Crystal Reports Server 2008 and Business Objects XI R2

Can anyone please help me know the difference between Crystal Reports Server 2008 and Business Objects XI R2? Both the support guides says that it supports Office 2007. I have a problem in exporting the reports to Excel 2007 .I have downloaded the trial version of Crystal Reports Server 2008 but still unable to view my complete reports in Excel 2007 through infoview because few of my report's colums are truncated and it still exports in Excel 2003.I have LiveOfficeXIR2_SP4 and Office 2007 installed. Is it so that i have to switch over to Business Objects XI R2 or any other to solve my problem instead of using Crystal Reports Server 2008 or is it the problem with the version of my Live office.Pls help me regarding this..
Babita.

Babita,
request you to post the same in the BO forums for more relevant answers...

Crystal REport Viewer 2008

Hi All,
I want to add the crystal report viewer 2008 as a reference in .net and through the coding i have to generate report using the report viewer 2008.How should i achieve this.
Kind regards
Mohana

Hello Mohana,
Are you talking about (1) Crystal Report Viewer 2008, the Java-based stand-alone report viewer, (2) Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008, the embedded Crystal Report component that comes with Visual Studio 2008, or (3) Crystal Reports 2008, that comes with the Report Application Server SDK that has report modification features?
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Crystal Report Viewer 2008 paging error. Unable to process your request

I encountered this error today when clicking on the next page button on the Crystal Report Viewer. I am running Crystal 2008 SP0. When i click on show detail i get this:

Is there something i am missing for paging to work?
Thanks in advance

Sorry i forgot to include more information.
.Net 3.5 and I can view this report fine in Crystal report designer. I get no error message when I switch pages. The issue happens when i view the report inside a Crystal report viewer control that i have on the page.
<%@ Register assembly="CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=12.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304" namespace="CrystalDecisions.Web" tagprefix="CR" %>
I haven't tried your sample reports. Where can i find those? i have other reports with multiple pages so I can also try using those reports as well.
Thanks again,
Pablo

Crystal Report Viewer 2008, postback causes a weird QueryString for dates

HI,
I'm having a weird problem that was masked with the error "".
What is happening to me is that i have an ASPX page where the QueryString passed in is used as parameters to the report (straightforward). When the page first loads, this is all fine the QuerySTring is properly parsed and the report is properly displayed. Now, the problem comes when i click on the PRINT Button it performs a postback, and during that postback the querystring is read so that it can rebuild the report on the postback. (In previous versions of crystal, this has always worked). The issue here is that the version 12 of the report viewer here now appears to also append some information to the query string that was not previously there (like this: ServletTask=Print&cmd=get_pg&page=1) So the problem here for me is this is what my original QueryString looks like:
tokenid=b2817081-6b52-43c7-8e2c-d6209af2ed98&Type=Appointment&Val=12%3b1%3b1%3b06%2f10%2f2000
THat query string is generated by the following code (pre-encoded)
"PrintPage.aspx?tokenid=" & Guid.NewGuid.ToString & "&Type=Appointment&Val=" & "12" & ";" & "1" & ";" & "1" & ";" & "1/1/2000" (NOTE the date here, i'll get to that in a second)
Then, what the problem is on the postback the Query String looks like this:
tokenid=2a4f42de-bd90-48b5-ac82-bd34b503afd3&Type=Appointment&Type=Appointment&Val=12%3b1%3b1%3b1%2f1%2fPrintPage.aspx%3ftokenid%3d2a4f42de-bd90-48b5-ac82-bd34b503afd3&Val=12%3b1%3b1%3b1%2f1%2f2000&ServletTask=Print&cmd=get_pg&page=1
As you can see here it's all messed up.
So, what i found here is that the underlying cause is that we are passing a "date" in the original QueryString and it seems on the postback the Crystal Reports Viewer is having some issue with that and basically messes up the query string...
I have Crystal Reports 2008/SP3 installed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Cleaning up these forums I came across this unanswered thread.
Very weird behavior that I have seen maybe 3 or 4 years ago - I think it was with opendocument.aspx...
In this case, we appear to be re-adding the querystring with the aspx name and question mark (u2026.parentagesu2026). Having two question marks (%3f) is essentially a malformed URL since this indicates where the querystring starts.
The duplicate querystring may have been a coding error(?) where it gets added again on a postback.
Were you able to resolve the issue?

Very slow loading time - Crystal Reports Viewer 2008

Hi,
I search this forum to find another thread regarding this issue. Since I've found nothing in particular, I started this one.
We are currently developping a new report engine based on the .Net Crystal Report Viewer. This engine will be used in our applications to show, print and export reports. We based the engine on the Crystal Report 2008 version (12.0.2000). The code is in C#, targeted on the Framework 3.5 SP1. For the CR runtime, we tested on machines with the SP2 and SP3 versions, as well as on a computer with Crystal Report Developper installed (v12.3.0.601) with no runtimes. Since the runtime is in x86 only, the engine is compiled in x86 (not ANY CPU)
When we try to open a report in an application, the first report loading is unusally slower than the others. If I open a report, close it and open it a second time, the second time is much faster than the first. While reading the threads, I realized that the first load implies some assembly loading from the Framework (which is normal).
But since i can take as long as 20-30 seconds to load the first report, I ran some test. Using the System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.AssemblyLoad event, I've tracked the assemblies being loaded when opening the report and the start time of the loading. I've discovered that, while most of the CR assemblies takes less than 500 milliseconds to load, there is one that takes at least 3 seconds (20 seconds sometimes) to load : BusinessObjects.Licensing.KeyCodeDecoder. Each time I ran the tests, it is the assembly that is the slowest (and by far) among them all.
Prior to this, we were using Delphi with the Crystal Report 10 runtime. We never had such issues. Now, some customers are complaining about this behavior.
For you information, we are using the ReportDocument.Load() method to load documents. Our reports are all dynamically linked to the database with the DataSourceConnections.SetConnection() method. The report is being loaded in the viewer using the CrystalReportViewer.ReportSource property.
Why does it takes so long to load/execute ? Is there something implied with registry keys or Internet access ? Is there a way to speed up things ?
Thanks !

Thanks for your help Don ! :o)
I know that the CR10 runtime was built on win32 and while I knew that the .Net version of the runtime would be slower due to the Framework and .Net architecture, we did not expect such differences between the two methods.
You are right that the hardware could play a great factor here, but since I work on this machine for a few years now and I saw the performance from the old CRPE32.dll and the new .Net counterpart, I am really surprised that there is such a difference. Most of our customers have entry-level desktops and our application always ran well on it, until now.
So, if it is the way that the CR 2008 runtime works, do you know if your developpers optimized this part with the next version (CR 2010) or it is based on the same engine ?
Thanks again for your time !

2 Spider diagrams, only one displayed in Crystal Reports Viewer 2008

Hi,
I have two Spider diagrams in the report. One shows values for this and another for previous year. The second diagram is placed on top of the first. The diagram below has white background and the diagram above has transparent background.
Everything works as it should in the Crystal Reports Developer. But Crystal Reports Viewer shows the "transparent" diagram only, that is on the top.
Has anyone experienced such before? Any suggestion? Thanks in advance.

Thanks. Yes, I can see them. In Crystal Reports Developer I see them in both ways. In the Viewer only side-by-side.

Cannot install Crystal Reports Server 2008 and Client Tools on same machine

I am having trouble setting up Crystal Reports Server 2008 with Client Tools on a new Windows 2003 SP 2 machine. The Server 2008 package installs OK (built-in MySQL server, built-in Tomcat 5.5 server). Reports run okay. But my customer wants to run reports that use Salesforce as a data source, so I tried to install Crystal Reports Server 2008 Client Tools (needed for Salesforce support, apparently). I receive this error:
'Business Objects product detected: cannot continue with install'. Installation of Client Tools immediately terminates.
Oddly enough, when I uninstalled Server 2008, the Client Tools installed successfully. Then I tried installing Server 2008, and I got the same error message as with Server 2008. What the heck?
Any ideas on how I can get Server 2008 and Server 2008 Client Tools to live in harmony on the same machine? We were able to do this with a (otherwise overloaded) Win2K3 server before.
Thank you in advance for any help.

Typically the client tools are installed with enterprise by default. If not then you would want to use add/remove in control panel and select them. The installer thinks you are trying to install enterprise on top of itself and thus the error.
Regards,
Tim

Crystal Reports Viewer 2008- cannot get filters/sort to work

We have CR 2008 and have downloaded the viewer for end users to be able to filter the report results.
My developer reports that he is able to apply parameters when working in the designer but that the parameters do not allow you to set them when looking at the report in the viewer. They wonder if you have to have the designer installed or CR server in order to enable this. I thought you did not.
Does anyone know how to set parameters so that they pass to the viewer and can be edited by the end user?
THANKS!

I've used the Logicity Free before, it allows the user to input parameter values.

Crystal Reports 8.5 and Barcode field on Postscript printer

Hi, I have a Crystal 8.5 document with a barcode Code128 inside (Azale font). If I print the document on a PLC printer using Azalea Truetype font the Barcode are printed. If I print the document on a PostScript printer the barcode are not printed. If I change font with PostScript version and I print on a PostScript printer the barcode are not printed to.
If I print the same document with Crystal 2008 the barcode are printed in both case.
There are some problems in Crystal 8.5 for Postscript print ?
thanks Filippo

Could be, all I can suggest is you go to the download page and install all patches available for CR 8.5. Click on the Businessobjects tab above and the Crystal Reports and then the link to get downloads.
IF that doesn't resolve the issue you may want to get the latest print drivers for your printer. If that still doesn't fix the problem then you have no option but to upgrade and try again. Cr 8.5 is 10 years old, no new updates available now.
Thank you
Don
