Crystal Reports works only for superusers

Only superusers can execute previously created Crystal Reports. If the user tries to run a report as a regular user it gets this message:
Only super users are allowed access to this function.
Is this a limitation of the free Crystal Reports for SBO? I haven't found any documentation about it.
Thanks for prompt replay

Hi Bisal,
Thanks a lot for your response. Unfortunately, it didn't work either.
1.Check under crystal report administration whether user have access to reports or not.
Yes he has access to reports (Crystal Administrations - Manage Users).
2. Is your report is private or public
We have tried with private and public reports. However, he can't even get the list of reports (that is when he gets the error message -Only super users are allowed access to this function-).
3. Is your user have professional license applied to it or not
He has a professional license assigned to him.
4. Does he or she have enough authorization to view report
Yes, he has Full Authorization to everything.
Thanks,
Andres

Crystal Report can only retrieve 1 row of data

We are using the following configuration:
- Microsoft Windows 2003 Server R2 for x64
- Microsoft .Net Framework 3.0 for x64
- Oracle Client 10g 10.2.0 for x64, which inlcudes Oracle Provider for OLE DB 10.2.0.2.21
- Crystal Report 10 redistributable for x64, from Visual Studio 2005
With that configuration, each time we run a report in ASP.Net, we can only retrieve 1 row of data, even though the data is more than that. We have no issue running the same report in 32 bit (same configuration as above, but 32bit).
For the meantime, we use ODBC connection, and it runs well. But, ODBC is slow and since the system that we build is still under heavy testing, if any problem occurs during report generation, it locks up other reports and we have to restart the IIS. So, ODBC connection is definitely a no-no.
Please help.

Total No of pages different in report printed using Crystal Report XI R2 vs SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio (File Version 13.8)

Currently in our application, we are using Crystal Report XI R2 for generating the reports. We are in the process of upgrading the Crystal Report to SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio (File Version 13.8). I updated that on my machine and all the reports work fine. I didn't have to modify any of the reports.
However when comparing the reports, we found that there are few reports on which the total no. of pages differ from the report displayed using Crystal Report XI R2 vs SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio (File Version 13.8). Comparing the reports, it looks all the data that were fit on one page earlier with version XI R2 doesn't fit on the same page with version 13.8, thereby increasing the page counts.
The fonts, page margins everything set on report itself. Nothing being set in the code.
Both the application is using the same report that is pulling the data from the same database. Our application is a web application.
Any suggestion, why this is happening.
Thanks.
Sanjay

I am not sure what is being compared here?
CRXI R2 designer to CRVS?
CR XI R2 in some version of .NET to CRVS?
CR XI R2 using RDC SDK to CRVS?
Also, is this happening on your development computer or after you deploy?
If you compare the the "Page setup" options dialog between reports that work and those that do not work, do you see any difference?
Is this a web or a win app?
Are you seeing the same issue when viewing and exporting - say export to PDF?
What is the printer driver used and it's version?

How to tell that Crystal Report 13.0 for VS 2010 installed on target mach

Hi,
I developed Windows application that has Crystal Report functionality.
The final step is distribution application development.
I am using Install Shield 2011 to build Basic MSI project.
What is the best registry key value I can use to identify the right version of Crystal Report redistributable has been already installed on target machine?
I think I am going to use one of the key values that located under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CrystalReports13.
But which one?
Also where can I get the minimum requirements when it comes to windows operating systems that supports Crystall Report 13.0 redistributable?
Thank you.

I installed CRRuntime_32bit_13.msi on Windows XP SP 3 machine, which is my testing production machine.
1. Under Add and Remove programs there is only one entry
-SAP Crystal Reports runtime engine for .NET Framework 4(32-bit)
-SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio 2010 has not been installed because I think there is no Visual Studio 2010 installed on the target machine.
2. During the installation registry keys have been created
HKLM\SOFTWARE\SAP Business Objects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0
These key has another 9 sub keys I am not going to list here.
3. After I manually uninstall runtime all registry keys have been deleted except:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\SAP Business Objects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Report Application Server
All assemblies from GAC have been uninstalled
win32_x86 folder has been uninstalled from
C:\Program Files\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Common\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0
I hope this info will help to safe your development time.
Happy programming

How do I keep a page as my home page when dragging icon to left of URL to house image & confirming that I want it as home page works only for current session, so when Firefox next opened, I end up with some stupid search page which McAfee doesn't like?

A couple of days ago, I connected to the Internet as usual & opened Firefox, only to be greeted by an almost blank screen with a Google-type search box in the middle & this message from McAfee:
"Your default search settings have changed. This may pose a security risk. Would you like to restore them to McAfee Secure Search to provide a safer searching experience?"
instead of my usual home page (BT Yahoo). I naturally clicked on the "Yes" option in the message, but rather than restoring my BT Yahoo home page, all that did was to insert the McAfee logo to the left of the search box in the top right-hand corner of the screen. The first time it happened, I had to search for the BT Yahoo page & then followed the standard procedure for setting it again as my home page. It worked only for that session: each time I shut down Firefox or restarted my computer after that, all I got was the blank "search page" & restoring the previous session was the only way to get back to BY Yahoo. How on earth do I make the home page setting permanent?
As far as I'm aware, I have done nothing to alter my search settings. However, I am anything but computer-literate, so I may have done/pressed something without realising it, but trying to understand what is now happening is far beyond my limited IT skills.

See McAfee support to find out how to disable that McAfee feature - that isn't part of the normal Firefox installation.

Master Page: Alternatives (Subform Set) works only for the first page

Hi everybody!
I have bumped into a very weird problem with ADOBE Forms:
When I create an 'Alternative' in a Context area and then place it on a Master Page, it works only for the first page. On the rest of pages it always show the 'TRUE' subform, regardless of the condition (which is not changed, of course). Absolutely the same Alternative works perfectly in a Content area for all pages.
Has anybody seen something like this? Any ideas why?
Thank you!

This happens because of the processing of the form.
You can see this here:
LiveCycle ES2 * Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES2
You have to put a own variable, which is set with the value you want in the very beginning.
I know, it is not that logical in the first moment, but it makes sense.
Regards
Florian
PS: This space SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe is the correct for questions like that

Crystal Reports - Works in FireFox...Not in IE...Need to Refresh Data

I am using a servlet and beans to fill a series of JSP pages. On the final page, the data is displayed in reports with a print button for each report. The user is supposed to be able to click on the indivudual button and print only the one report they request. The button part is working fine, and the code is as follows:
<input type="button" value="Print Report" title="Print Report # <%= headerId %>" onClick=location.href="jrs_set_parameters.jsp?headerId=<%= headerId %>">
The problem is the data in the Crystal Report is not being refreshed in IE, until I click the refresh icon. It works fine in FireFox. I have tried all sorts of things in my code to refresh the data in IE, but nothing seems to be working. I have found other suggestions on this site, and contacted Crystal Reports Support, but I'm getting nowhere with this.
I did find that if I changed my IE settings as follows:
IE, Tools, Internet Options, Connections, LAN Settings, Advanced, and under Exceptions added javadev*, which is the first part of my link, it will pull the correct report every time. The only problem is that I can't ask all of the users to make this change, just to get this to work right.
I am about to start pullin my hair out soon! Does anybody know what has to be done in this situation? Please help!

Problem solved! It had to do with the way our network people were caching Internet Explorer on the server.

Crystal Reports transport files for SAP APO / SCM

Hi there,
Problem: we want to use Crystal Reports on top of SAP APO / SCM and have some difficulties getting the definitions of BW / OLAP servers right and don't know which transports to import on the SAP to report with Crystal.
System is a SAP SCM system with APO module. There is a cube in this module (because there is some internal BW system) and I can see the cube in Crystal Reports. When I want to report from this cube I get an error:
"/CRYSTAL/MDX_GET_STREAM_INFO" not found.
This means some transport files were not imported and some functions are missing.
The following transports are missing:
====quote from transports_EN.txt included in transports for Crystal Reports=====
The following files must be used on an SAP BW system:
(These files are Unicode enabled.)
Content Administration transport (K900579.r21 and R900579.r21)
Personalization transport (K900580.r21 and R900580.r21)
MDX Query Connectivity transport (K900581.r21 and R900581.r21)
ODS Connectivity transport (K900582.r21 and R900582.r21)
===========================================================
My SAP BASIS expert refuses to import these transports in SAP SCM, because he thinks it is not an SAP BW system as listed in the above transports_EN.txt file. Just trying is not an option because transports cannot be removed once imported...
In my opinion these transports have to be imported to clearly access the cube and will work on SAP SCM even if it's not a 'dedicated' SAP BW environment. In other words, these transports should be imported and will work on SAP OLAP servers like SAP BW, SAP SCM, SAP SRM (APO) or SAP SEM.
Does anyone of you have some more experience on reporting from SAP SCM / APO cubes and if I can import these transports without getting some nasty errors, because its not an SAP BW system?
Kind regards!
Edited by: J. van de Mheen on Mar 3, 2009 4:21 PM

Thanks for your reply, but this is not helping me much.
Let me explain more.
In the transport_EN.txt file we see this:
If your SAP system is running on a 6.20 *BASIS system* or later, you must use the files listed below:
(These files are Unicode enabled.)
* Open SQL Connectivity transport (K900574.r21 and R900574.r21)
* Info Set Connectivity transport (K900575.r21 and R900575.r21)
* Row-level Security Definition transport (K900576.r21 and R900576.r21)
* Cluster Definition transport (K900585.r21 and R900585.r21)
* Authentication Helpers transport (K900578.r21 and R900578.r21)
The following files must be used on an *SAP BW system*:
(These files are Unicode enabled.)
* Content Administration transport (K900579.r21 and R900579.r21)
* Personalization transport (K900580.r21 and R900580.r21)
* MDX Query Connectivity transport (K900581.r21 and R900581.r21)
* ODS Connectivity transport (K900582.r21 and R900582.r21)
So I have to import 5 transports in SAP BASIS system and 4 transports in SAP BW system to make full use of the integration kit.
SAP SCM / APO is basically a BASIS system, so the BASIS expert says only those 5 transport have to be installed.
But SAP SCM / APO is also having some reporting capabilities and stores data in OLAP cubes (Infocubes).
In Crystal I can see these cubes when using SAP BW MDX connection.
To make the error go away, I must have some function modules used in transport 'MDX Query Connectivity transport. But the BASIS expert doesn't want to import this transport, because it is listed as a transport for a SAP BW system and he says SAP SCM / APO is NOT a SAP BW system (it's a BASIS system).
And now I have to get some proof that this transport has to be imported in the SAP SCM / APO BASIS system before he installs it...

Crystal Reports background processing for SAP Business One 8.8

Dear Partners,
I have an SDK program developed in SAP Business One SDK that works in 2007, it calls crystal reports externally and can be executed as a background task using the windows schedular or from the command prompt.
My problem is it does not work under SAP Business One SDK 2008 PL18 with SQL Server 2008, Visual Studio 2008.
I receive the following message after this line in my code,"oReport.PrintToPrinter(CopyNo, False, 0, 0)".
'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.LogOnException: Logon failed.

My Question is what Crystal Reports libraries or other method should I be using ?
Crystal Reports 2008 for SAP Business One eg. 51038978.zip - downloaded from portal obviously dosn't contain the CrystalDecisions libraries.
Crystall Reports 2008 - cr2008_sp3_fullbuild, cr2008fp33.exe, cr2008fp33_mm, cr2008fp33_clickonce - also download from the portal, the cr2008_sp3_fullbuild does contain the crystal decisions libraries.
Finally other choices are crystal reports included with the visual studio 2008 and crystal reports full version direct from Business Objects.
I have tried different versions of crystal decision libraries- eg, 12.0110 or 12.02 but still no joy.
Also if I manage to get the report to fire what should the client be running eg, if they have the Crystal Reports 2008 for Business One do they also need to install the Crystal Reports Run time - cr2008fp33_clickonce.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi John
Since the SDK works in 2007 it will be using the OLD DB access method.
Change the Crystal report to use an OLE DB datasource rather than the SAP Business One data source.

Crystal Report Layout asking for Login Info

I have modified the Delivery Note Crystal Report Layout for Business One by clicking the Edit button on the Report and Layout Manager for Delivery Note (Items). I then saved my modifications to a file. Finally, I go into Business One and import the Layout for Delivery Note (Items). When I preview the Layout it asks me for login information then continues to fail. How dow I make it so I can print the Delivery without having to constantly log in?

Hi Jeff,
I recently had a similar problem on an 8.82 implementation, having contacted and spoken to SAP Support multiple times these suggested fixes worked:
The request to login to the database when you open or print preview a Crystal
report is a known issue. To resolve this, I recommend you go through our Root
Cause Analysis (RCA) guide. Please see attac hed Note 1676353 on where to find
this. There are four Cases in this guide (which contain a number of Influences)
- please go through all Cases and Influences.
We also tried the following:
STEP 1:
Influence 2: Case 2 is to clear all the data for login (e.g. sa and
password - delete them) and then ticked 'Integrated Security#.
- Influence
3: #: Check the current datasource is to update connection.
- Retest opening
the system reports on a workstation.
- If they are still reporting an error
try the next step
- STEP 2:
- Change the datasource location of
the report from OLE DB to SAP Business One type and leave the
authentication
information blank. Try running the report in Crystal, and then import to SAP.
And also opened up the Crystal Report via the Edit button in SAP in Reports and Layouts Manager, we then clicked on the database connection and updated all the tables (even though they were the same) and these got the reports needed working. Speaking to SAP it is a known bug and they are releasing a hotfix to resolve it, but try explaining that to a customer !!!
Hope these help.
Regards
Sean

Crystal report displays only a part of a field

I created a Crystal report based on a BW Query. The user enter a comment about a sales order in SAP. This field has only a key but no text in BW.
So the text is the key. The whole comment can be seen when I run the query with Bex Analyzer. The key is displayed on the report.
However Crystal report cuts the length of this field although I use the key in the Crystal report as well. Only 143 characters can be seen.
I adjusted the font or can grow option of the field but it doesn't work.
I tried this formula as well but it did not work.
Stringvar s1:={field} [1 to 100];
Stringvar s2:={field} [102 to 200];
S1&s2;
Can somebody help me about this issue?
I will be very thankful.
Deniz

That would be CR 2013, Service Pack 2. CR 2013 is now on SP 5 and it would be good to update to that. Links to updates are here:

Crystal Report Viewer fails for browser versions =10

If I change the user agent string in Firefox to that of Firefox 7.0.1 everything works as expected, this implies there is some logic in get_IsNetscape6Up() which is failing because the major browser version as reported by the user agent string is two digits instead of one.
We encountered a similar issue for our legacy pages containing Infragistics 2007 controls but were able to fix that by overriding the System.Web.Configuration.HttpCapabilitiesBase.BrowserCapabilitiesProvider and faking the browser version to 9.80. Crystal Report Viewer is apparently not using .Net's built in HttpBrowserCapabilities object, is there anything else I can adjust to stop the viewer failing?

hello Robert
Today must be my day. I already got a reply from PM (normally it takes a "bit" longer...). Anyhow, here is what he said:
With Firefoxu2019s release cycles, I donu2019t think weu2019ll be able to officially support the latest versions
of Firefox at every service release. We do our best to test the released versions of Firefox
that align with our releases. I donu2019t know the details but Iu2019ve heard there is a plan in place where
the support team(s) (?) will test the most recent releases of Firefox with whatu2019s currently
shipping by SAP and log bugs as necessary.
(umm, this is my - Ludek note here ) -> news to me re. support doing QA... find out something new every day. Anyhow, continuation of the message from PM:
The current plan for CR for VS2010, the SP3 release (expected in April) will support up to
Firefox 9. If there are reproducible bugs in Firefox 10 (or higher), then please enter a bug
and escalate and it will be investigated for the next available release.
I'll revisit this once SP3 is out there and do an escalation for Firefox 10 - ok?

Crystal Reports Template : Data for Cash-Flow Analysis

Dear Experts,
We are working on cash flow forecasting model, i.e going forward 12 months, which in written in MS Excel. We update it with actual data recorded in SAP B1 (Ver 8.8 PL18) A manual process.
Was wondering if we can get a crystal report template which contain the following data:
Sales, Purchases, Collections and Payments by BP in a given time (user specified)
BP Code
BP Name
Sales Invoice #
Sales Invoice Date
Sales Invoice Value (total)
Sales Credit Memo #
Sales Credit Memo Date
Sales Credit Value (total)
Purchase Invoice #
Purchase Invoice Date
Purchase Invoice Value (total)
Purchase Credit Memo #
Purchase Credit Memo Date
Purchase Credit Value (total)
BP Receipt #
BP Receipt Date
BP Receipt Value
BP Payment #
BP Payment Date
BP Payment Value
Thank you to all who have answered this question posted earlier under queries, I am hoping we can get a combined report using CR, a feat not possible using SAP B1 Query function. I look forward to your advice.
Regards
Raj

Hi,
I am not familiar with crystal report. But using queries (that already answered) you can create crystal report.
You can also refer how to guide for creating crystal report in sap b1.
Thanks & Regards,
