Crystal Server XI - Output to body of e-mail

Is it possible to include the output of a report in the body of an e-mail?
I want to do this to forward the message to an SMS agent for onward distribution, so any alternatives would be appreciated
Richard

I think you are limited to including it as an attachment.

  • Report works in Crystal Reports, but not when scheduled in Crystal Server

    Hi,
    I have a pretty simple report designed in Crystal Reports 2008. Basically it shows a list of call notes (memo field) from customer activities in our CRM system. The report works fine in Crystal reports, but when run or scheduled in Crystal Server 2008 the output is always blank. Furthermore, the page format etc. is "lost" in crystal server, so that the output is PDF of a quadratic blank sheet (not my standard A4 format)... Exporting to other formats - excel, Word etc. all gives the same result.
    I have tried to strip out various formulas, formatting etc from the report, but nothing helps. Which leads me to thinking that the real problem is that the report contains a memo field? Anyone else had this problem?

    Hi Claus,
    I've had issues between what Crystal does and what the Report Server does.  To resolve this, we found out Crystal Reports 2008 latest service pack has some things that will fix Server 2008 and they aren't in the latest Server update. 
    We updated Crystal Reports 2008 on our machines.  Installed the latest update for Crystal Server and then installed Crystal 2008 on the Report Server and installed the Crystal Reports 2008 update.  A lot of our compatibility issues went away after that. 
    Good luck,
    Brian

  • Accessing the RPT in subfolder on Crystal Server

    I am trying to write a program to generate the Crystal Reports through Java program. These RPT files are inside a subfolder and whenever I try to acces these RPT, I get an error and report is not generated. It looks like the error is because java program is not able to access the subfolder.
    Please guide me how I can access the RPT inside a subfolder on Crystal Server.
    Regards
    Kapil

    Are you able to get any results with below query
    SELECT * FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE SI_KIND = 'CrystalReport' and si_name='<your RPT title>' and SI_PARENTID = 123
    where
    <your RPT title>  is name the RPT file present in your CR server
    sub folder id is ID of the subfolder
    let me the output
    Thanks,

  • Crystal Server 2013: How to troubleshoot "Can not create temp file---- Error code:-2147215357"

    We have a Java7 web app, which generate PDF report by calling Crystal Server 2013 SP4.
    The app is being deployed on many different servers. We sometimes got the error below when generating report:
    com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKException: Can not create temp file---- Error code:-2147215357 [CRSDK00000615] Error code name:internal
    at com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.PrintOutputController.controllerExportInternal(PrintOutputController.java:280)
    at com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.PrintOutputController.export(PrintOutputController.java:152)
    at com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.PrintOutputController.export(PrintOutputController.java:130)
    at com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.PrintOutputController.export(PrintOutputController.java:113)
    Problem is, this seems to be  a pretty generic exception. It could be caused by many different reasons.
    e.g. network connection problem, wrong DB login, wrong folder path, lack of folder access right, etc.
    Each time we could only guess what's wrong.
    We are running into it again, and this time everything seems correctly configured so far.
    We wonder if there are more info we can get to troubleshoot? For example, any log file of Crystal Server we should look into? Or does Crystal Server has debug mode which prints more details to tell us what goes wrong?

    Hi Henry,
    I believe you are using RAS SDKs to export the reports to PDF.
    Apply trace on RAS server and check what you find in RAS logs.
    Check whether you can see timeout error is RAS logs. Usually if connection is lost and the RAS server no more have the session to write to the temp directory, we do see these errors.
    Also, does the account that runs RAS have permissions to create a file in RAS's default temp directory? Are you getting any out of memory or out of disk space exceptions on App server or RAS, tracing RAS server is the way to move forward.

    Yes
    >>Apply trace on RAS server and check what you find in RAS logs.
    >>Check whether you can see timeout error is RAS logs.
    How to configure tracing, and where are RAS logs? Is it configured in CMC --> Servers --> Crystal Report Services?
    >>Also, does the account that runs RAS have permissions to create
    >>a file in RAS's default temp directory?
    Pretty sure yes.
    >> Are you getting any out of memory or out of disk space exceptions

    Not on App server.
    For RAS, that's the problem, I am not sure where to look.......

  • Crystal Server with SAP Business One Crystal

    Hi,
    We have installed Crystal Reports Server 2008 on a server which already had Crystal Reports 2008 (12.1.0.892) (Fix pack 3, SAP Business One version) installed, as well as SAP Business One 8.8.
    This is the first time we have dealt with the CR Server application.
    The CCM & the CMC are running fine as are all the services.
    When running CR 2008 and choosing Save As: Enterprise, the error message "No authentication plugins are installed" appears.
    The Business View manager pops up a log on box and no authentication methods appear in the drop down box.
    Is it possible the SAP install has corrupted the Crystal Server install, as the authentication plug in dll's do appear to be missing from the server.
    The same issue arises when istalling the client tools on a client which has the same designer version installed, but not on a client which has on older version installed.

    Resolved by uninstalling everything Crystal related, deleting the Business Objects folers, then  reinstalling starting with Crystal Server.
    The install of the B1 specific versions must not contain some necessary files, which are then not installed by the other products

  • Error running reports from Crystal Server XI R2 with datasets

    Hi, sorry if my english is not good. I'm from Spain.
    I have a problem. I'm programming with Visual Basic .NET 2008.
    I'm using Crystal Reports Server and programming under Visual Basic to take reports from crystal Server, changing the tables from the report to datasets and scheduling this report.
    Crystal server change connections to CrystalReports.Dataset.
    Preview reports from server sends me an error "DataBase connector unknown"
    If I run this report (with datasets) into my VBNET application (into a  CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.CrystalReportViewer control), IT WORKS!!!
    I need help because I need to schedule these reports (to send them by email, export to PDF formats, ...)

    Reporting off of a dataset is reporting off of a disconnected datasource.  The reason your application works is beacuse you most likely populating a dataset in your application and passing it to the report at the same time.  When scheduling, there is no interaction with the report so unless the report is using an xml file on disk as its datasource, how can it retrieve data?
    To get around this, you can build a dll (.net data provider) that returns either a dataset or datatable and point your report to this dll.  this way, when the report is executed, it loads the dll which fetches the data for you.
    - so the first step is to compile a dll that returns a dataset or datatable.
    - to design your report off of this dll open the database expert and create a new ADO.NET connection.
    - in the File Path area, click the ellipsis ("...") button to browse to your dll and make sure the selected File Type is ".Net DataSet Provider".
    - once the dll is selected, you can choose the dataset/table returned by the dll.
    If your method in the dll is parameterized, it will add a parameter to the report (similar to stored procedure parameters.
    note: the location of your dll must be in the same path on the CR Server as it was when you designed your report in order for it to be loaded correctly.  I usually put the dll in a folder that I know will exist on both machines.

  • Crystal Server 2008 authentication issue

    I have installed Crystal Server 2008 v1 on Windows Server 2008 64 bit, IIS 7 using AD authentication (not SSO).
    IIS has been configured to accept anonymous connections. If I run .net Infoview on the server it is fine, but as soon as I connect from a client I can authenticate and log onto Infoview, but within Infoview I am continually prompted by Windows to authenticate to the server and I cannot run any reports - nothing I put in there works.
    I have been running BOE XI on Server 2003 32 bit without any such issues at all.
    Could comeone pls point me in the right direction

  • Oracle client 32/64 bit on Crystal Server 2013 and Windows Server 2012

    I'm getting the error "Unknown Database Connector Error" when I run report on the server and it works OK on crystal designer 2013.
    Been reading this thread 32&64 bit Oracle Client but not much help there.
    Here are the  details
    System
    Windows Server 2012
    Crystal Server 2013 SP5
    Crystal Server has been installed and appears to work fine. I was able to develop a brand new report locally and saved it to the server and it displays ok. Of course when I click on refresh on the report, it will error out due to database connection it looks like.
    We have installed both oracle client drivers 64 and 32. 64 was installed first and then 32.The path has been modified so that the 32 shows up first.
    I even ensure oracle_home and oracle_home32 are specified and restarted the server. I still get the same error.
    The tns entries are also located in both installs of oracle client...
    What might be the issue?

    Oracle Database Client 12.1.0.2.0 (32-bit and 64-bit installed)
    Installation Type: Custom
    COMPONENTS INSTALLED:
    SQLPLUS
    ORACLE NET
    We are currently not using an ODBC connection.
    We installed Crystal 2013 Server SP05. This is the sole package installed (believe it's the latest version) without any extra patch package installed (believe no patch needed as it's the latest version).

  • Can Crystal Server 2011 run on a Windows 2012, R2 server?

    Hey,
    I purchased Crystal Server 2011 in April 2013.  Unfortunately, due to a heavy workload I'm just now ready to install it in a test environment.  Will Crystal Server 2011 run on a Windows 2012, R2 server?

    If you update your CR Server to SP 5, then yest, it is supported on WIN 2012.
    See the PAM.
    To get SP5 you will have to loin to the SAP Market Service Place.

  • Crystal Report not working when posting the report to the Crystal Server.

    Hi All,
      I created a report using Crystal Reports 2008 with two ODBC connections (User DSN's). When I run the report in Crystal Reports (where I originally created it) it runs fine with no problems.
       I am now trying to load it on Crystal Server 2008. When I try to run this report in InfoView, I get a message: "Error Failed to open the connection." I am thinking that it has to do with the ODBC connections but I am not quite sure. Could someone lead me in the right direction? How will the report that I now saved in the repository on the server connect to the ODBC stream?
       Thank you in advance.

    Solved my problem. I had to tweak the ODBC drivers on the server.

  • How do I create a report of what is run and when on Crystal Server

    In crystal server, how do I create a report that will tell me the name of all of my reports and the time it is scheduled to run?
    I get the feeling it is in the Query Builder,  but I have no idea what the names of all of these tables are.
    Anyone ever done this or know of another way to do this?

  • How can I get a Listing of all scheduled reports from Crystal Server 9?

    Hello,
    Can anyone help?
    A colleague and I are trying to find out when we can schedule a server reboot (Crystal Reports 9). We can look at individual jobs but we don't seem to be able to find a list of all the jobs and when they occur.
    We need to do this as we would like to schedule a regular server reboot without interrupting jobs.
    As you may be able to tell, my colleague and I have little Crystal knowledge, but we have found our selves looking after this server.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Paul,
    Thanks for your response.
    Do you remember what kind of installation process you have followed while installing your crystal enterprise.
    It will prompt for client installation and server installation.
    If you have installed client products then you wont have instance manager in your list of products.
    Else  if you don't have instance manager in crystal server 9, then for buying the product you should contact your accounts manager.
    He can reach the CIC people through your company and based on your license agreements you can the product.
    Just let me know if you have any queries.
    Regards,
    Naveen.

  • Error adding report to Crystal Server 2011

    I have a report that runs against Salesforce.com that I'm trying to add to Crystal Server 2011.  The server is running version 14.0.2.364 of BI.  When I try to add the report through either the CMC or through the BI Launch Pad I get the same error.
    "An error has occurred: Adding Crystal Report "Quarterly Report 2011 with MF v3-2 Les Testing.rpt" failed. The server with kind rptappserver returned an error result. Failed to copy the report file to the report object. Refreshing the report object properties might have failed. Failed to read data from report file C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\Data\CrystalReportsRasServer\temp\{7FD511B8-F5DF-42AC-98D7-D2C43B1C458B}.rpt. Reason: Failed to read parameter object "
    If I try to add it by saving from Crystal Reports I get "Item 1 was not found in the collection"
    I'm logging on as administrator in both cases to the CR server.  I did find a thread where it was suggested that checking the "No Printer" box under page setup may fix it so I tried that but got the same results.  I also saw some references to firewalls, but the server is on a local subnet to my machine and all windows firewalls are turned off.
    The server is a fresh install of 2008 R2 and a demo download of CR Server 2011 and Client Tools. 
    Any help on a direction here would be greatly appreciated.  I've been banging my head against this for a while now.

    I cannot offer much help, but I see the same issue. 
    When I create a report in Developer it runs fine in Developer, but it will not load up to Crystal Server.  I can save the report with a new name and 50% of the time it will load to the Server.  Sometimes when I try to load the report, it seems the Server is thinking for a long time.  I hit "OK" button on server screen and then "Cancel"  the report SOMETIMES shows in the list of reports.  I just witnessed saving a non-loading report as another report and successfully loaded it into Server, then I ran the report in developer, closed it and tried to reload it to the server and it failed.
    It appears to be completely random.
    My gut tells me it has to do with the Salesforce driver (i.e. when I run it from Developer, the driver pollutes the report and chokes loading it on the server?)
    Does anyone have any ideas?

  • RequestTimeout error while attempting to connect to the Crystal Server

    Hi Guys,
    We use Crystal Server 2008, along with an automated java tool that updates the JNDI name for the database. Both the java tool and the Crystal Server reside on the same box, and communicate via TCP/IP.
    Recently, we had some space added to the Crystal Server box (around 10 GB). Since then, I am seeing this problem when I invoke the java tool. It started off as an occasional problem, but now is consistent. I have attached the error below.
    Has anyone every come across anything like this? We had multiple pairs of eyes look into this problem, and all signs point to a Network Issue, even though both the client and the server are on the same box.
    Any help in this matter is much appreacited.

    What if you try to increase the request timeout? what happens.
    To do that you can copy the clientSDKOptions.xml file  located per default to the following location <BO install path>\Business Objects\common\4.0\java\lib to the classpath of your application then Open clientSDKOptions.xml and change CORBARequestTimeOut from 600000 to a value large enough to allow the report to render, for instance 1200000.
    Default vaule is 600000 (10 minutes)
    You can also trace your application based on the Java RAS SDK by doing the following:
    To enable RAS Java SDK trace, make the following modifications:
    1- In an entry module for your application, insert this line:
    System.setProperty("ras.config", configPath);
    ====================
    NOTE:
    " configPath is the path to the clientSDKOptions.xml file (for example, String configPath = "C:
    ====================
    2- Add the <RequestRecordingOptions> element to the clientSDKOptions.xml file as follows:
    <CrystalReports.ClientSDKOptions xmlns:xsi="HTTP://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema-instance" version="2" xsi:type="CrystalReports.ClientSDKOptions">
    <ServerInfos version="2" xsi:type="CrystalReports.ServerInfos" id="1">
