Crystal Reports xi r2 integrating with vs2005

Hi,
I'm having a problem getting these two integrated and working properly with all the functionality that I need.
I installed vs2005 and then CRXIR2, and now in vs2005 when I have a report open, I have 2 Crystal Report tabs at the top and in each the options are repeated 4 times for each menu item, makes for a very cluttered menu.
Also, when I an existing report to a vb2005 asp project in the property pages/web config it adds 2 assemblies for each items, one for version 10.2.3600 and one for 11.5.3700. Is there a way that I can eliminate this.
And lastly, I use ODBC connections to a database and with the 10.2.3600 assemblies it was disconnecting right away and closing the session after the queries, while the new 11.5.3700 ones do not seem to kill the sessions and fills up the connections until I manually go out and clear them up.
I know thats a lot to deal with, but I'm sure that they are all related.
Thank you very much for your help.
James

Hi James,
Microsoft released an update for VS.NET 2005 which broke the integration of Crystal XI R2 with .NET 2005 when applied. Just do an uninstall/reinstall of Crystal XI R2 and that should fix the multiple tab and drop down issue as well as it putting in both 10.2 and 11.5 assemblies.
You should probably create a new thread for the 2nd problem if it persists after the uninstall/reinstall.

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

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.

Crystal Report XI R2 compatablity with SAP Integration kit

Hi All,
we have suggested to one of our customer the Customized pack of BO XI Edge series which include the licensing of Xcelsius , WEBI , Universe designer, SAP Integration kit and Live office...
He dont want to pay extra for taking the license for cryatal report 2008 as they already using the Crystal Report XI R2 version which they use to do reporting on non SAP data.
My question is :
1 - Now they want to do reporting ove SAP data using the existing CR solution they have is it possible ??
2- Will the integration kit support the CR XI R2 version ??
3- Can he publish the Crystal Report created by CR XI R2 to the Business Object Edge Series plateform ??
They just want to use CR to do reporting on data from R/3 side .
Kindly suggest.
Regards,
Mishra,Vibhav.

Dear Ingo,
Thanks for the reply.
Actally we have suggested to our client the latest Edge Series Standard pack solution , excluding the crystal report licensing.
My question is will the integration kit which comes along with the Edge series will support the existing Crystal Report XI R2 and can the it be integrated with BOE(can he publish the reports created with the earlier version to the Business Object plateform).
If the above sceanario is not possibe then we have to purchse the older version of integartion and i doubt if we can purchse it stand alone in that case we would be having two integration kits running to solve the purpose.
Kindly suggest.
Warm regards,
Mishra Vibhav

Integration : Crystal Report Server 11.5 with Sharepoint standard 2007

Hi,
How can I configure my Crystal Report Server version 11.5 to store the generated reports directly to a Sharepoint Library (standard 2007).

Hi,
With the current solution of Integration kits and "integration option for Microsoft SharePoint software" you cannot have reports in SharePoint library. The infoobjects continue to be in CMS.

Multi pass bursting of a Crystal report on business view with a bex query

In BO CMC, we have a group with a list of user.
The idea is to burst (via the multi pass bursting method) a Crystal report for this list of user with the constraint that this report should only contains data of the store linked to the user.
Our data comes from a SAP BI cube.
The link between a Store and a User comes from an other system.
We have build a bex query and use it as a data source of a Crystal Data Foundation.
In this Data Foundation we have an other table storing the user ID and the Store ID.
These 2 tables are linked in this Data Foundation on the Store ID.
Business element and Business View have also been created on top of this Data Foundation.
We have impletemented a filter in this Data Foundation to filter out data on the user id. This user id will be filled when bursting the report for all requested users thanks to this function :.
As a user is linked to one store, the data foundation will filter the data coming from the bex query and show only the data of the user's store.
We have build a crystal report using the business view created above as data source. We have made some test on a small amount of data and it works, data are correctly filter out and the reports shows only the data from one store.
But the problem is that we have a lot of stores (more than 600) and doing this way implies that the bex query will always return the data for all the stores as the filter will occurs in the data foundation and not on the bex query.
We need to find a way to make the bex query returning only the data of the store linked to the user for which we burst the report.
As we have more than 600 stores this was an idea to avoid managing more than 600 under BO groups or more than 600 different filters.
This solution do not work when the bex query result set is too large.
Does anyone has an idea on how to implement such "dynamic" filter in the bex query? The parameter is the user ID but the filter to be applied on the bex query is on the store ID.
We are under BO XI release 2, Crystal XI Release 2 and we have installed the BO release 2 integration kit for SAP

Integrate Crystal Reports XI Release 2 and VS2005 IDE

Hi,How can i integrate Crystal Reports XI R2 is directly into the Visual Studio 2005 development environments. So i can host my report in either a Web or Windows application with one of the Crystal Reports viewer controls, or use the extensive API to interact with the report programmatically at runtime. My current setup is:<blockquote>Crystal Reports XI Release 2.</blockquote><blockquote>Visual Studio 2005 Professional (I did not install the Crystal Reports .Net shipped with VS 2005.)SQ Server 2000. </blockquote>Thanks Please help.

You'll need to install the Crystal .NET that comes with VS 2005.Â You then install Crystal XI R2 over the top and not only will Crystal be integrated with the IDE, it should use the updated assemblies from R2.

Crystal Reports and BI integration

Hi All,
Could anyone tell me what are the best practices adopted while integrating Crystal Reports with BI 7.0?
I have SAP BI and BEx on my laptop. Which version of crystal reports is advisable? What software should I install on my system?
I have read about the SAP integration kit. Where is this to be installed on individual laptop or on the server? If on server then how is it accessible to the crystal report software on my laptop?
Are there any other settings needed for accessing BI data from Crystal Reports?
Please help me on this.
Thanks,
Smruti

Hi Smruti,
For better assistance on these questions I would request you to post this question on SAP Business One category.

Crystal Reports and SAP Integration Issue

Gurus,
I am in the process of reinstalling my SAP B-One(2007 A) Server, after SQL Server and SAP Server and Client installtions and its related patch PL10. My machine is fully loaded and to go, but I am stuck with Crystal Reports Basic 2008 installtion.
After installting the below for Crystal Reports:
1) .NetPlatform SP1 setup (dotnetfx35sp1)
3) Crytatl Runtime
4) Crystal Setup
5) Crystal SAP Viewer
6) CR2008_SP3
My integration between SAP and CR are fine but after first log off and log on of SAP B-One.
Shows the below messages:
- "The new version of Add-on Crystal Reports for SAP Business One is
installed. Upgrade the Add-on in the current Common DB."
followed by the below one.
"Wrong Executable digital signature for Add-On".
Any advices on how can I upgrade the Common DB.

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 Report 2008 is compatible with Crystal Report 9?

I'm using VB6 and VS 2003 for application development and using Crystal Report 9 for reporting. Thanks.

I understand that the question is;
Can I run reports created in CR 2008 with CR 9?
Answer is yes - as long as - you do not use any new features of CR 2008;
cascading params, dynamic params, flash, etc.

Crystal Report XI (C++) : Leak with IReport object ... I think.

Post Author: NicolasG
CA Forum: Other
Hi, I'm working on an application that is using Crystal Report to generate report from a report file (.rpt) and a Microsoft Access (.mdb) file. During our stress test, I noticed that the application memory keep growing. After some work, I came up with a really simple application that reproduced the problem.The application consist in one thread that keep opening report from the report file (i.e. I don't even use the database file yet).Here is a code sample : void CMemoryLeakDlg::GenerateReport(void* param){ CoInitialize(NULL); OutputDebugString("Generating report - Starting ...\n"); Sleep(1000); CMemoryLeakDlg* pThis = static_cast<CMemoryLeakDlg*>(param); ASSERT(pThis); IApplicationPtr pApplication; try { HRESULT hRes = pApplication.CreateInstance("CrystalRuntime.Application.11"); if (FAILED(hRes)) { ASSERT(FALSE); } ASSERT(pApplication != NULL); IReportPtr pReport; while (pThis->m_bWorking) { bstrt bstrReportPath(pThis->m_strReportPath); pReport = pApplication->OpenReport(bstrReportPath); pReport.Release(); ASSERT(pReport == NULL); } pApplication.Release(); ASSERT(pApplication == NULL); } catch (_com_error& e) { UNREFERENCED_PARAMETER(e); ASSERT(FALSE); } Sleep(1000); OutputDebugString("Generating report - Ended\n");}I am not a COM expert programmer and probably I am not using the COM interface correctly. My assumption is that I am not closing the report correctly and that the memory is not freed.Any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks a lot!Nicp.s. We are using Crystal Report XI 11.0.0.1994

I am seeing this issue also. It seems to be related to the size of the RPT file also. It leaks about 10MB with a 1MB RPT file. I tried opening and closing the RDC print engine for each report but it still leaks. I ran my application through BoundsChecker and it shows that the leak is occurring in the Crystal API. It looks like the release method doesn't work. Crystal Report XI 11.0.0.895

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:

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
