Crystal XI issues with DST

we are using Crystal XI R2 with a core product of VB6 and supporting products OF DOT NET, with a backend of SQL 2005 and 2008
Since the DST changes last week (Nov 5th) there are reports which are showing date as one day less.
the dates are fetched from the server as MM/DD/YYYY 00:00:00:000, for the perriod before DST kicked in the dates are correct, howwvere the dates after DST started the dates are displayed one day less.
we are not using any formula's, these are dates directly from a recordset. as a workaround we added i hour to the time and it is working fine.
But the question is how do we either disable the DST or correct this problem. adding 1 hour will be a huge task for us as we have more than 1000 reports.

Make sure you are on the final service pack and fixpack (sp6 and I am not sure what the final fixpack was) and test.
Other than that you will have to make any changes yourself as that product is no longer supported.

Issues with DST?

Hello,
DST: the SQL Cluster did not change the time by itself..
Where should I look for the issue. The time was changed manually to continue processing....
Thanks,

Hello,
SQL Server relies on the underlying operating system for time-related data, which means if the OS is reporting the correct dates and times, SQL Server will report and use the same values.
If the computers belong to an Active Directory domain, the Windows Time service on domain controllers will syncs up times in UTC. If the time on the AD is correct, you can try to resync the time on the onde which host the SQL Server instance by run w32tm
/resync on Command Prompt.
Since the question is more related to Windows, I suggest you post the question on the Windows Server forum.

Crystal Reports XI R2 SP 6 - Issue with setting Data Source Location

Hello,
After some initial difficulty instally CR XI R2 with SP 6 on a windows XP machine (see thread Error on installation of CR XI R2 SP6), the Crystal Reports environment seemed fine, however, when I tried resetting the datasource location on an ODBC datasource between a development and production server, I get the message 'Some Tables could not be replaced as no match was found....'   The tables in the two databases are identical so that isn't the issue.
Here is some additional information
The issue seems related only to DSN's that point to a progress database. I am able to reset datasource locations for DSN's that use the SQL server driver and also for those that use the XML CR ODBC XML Driver 5.0. I am not able to reset the datasource locations on the DSN's that use a Progress Open Edge 10.1 DB driver.
I can create a new report using the DSN for the Progress Driver and add tables, but the table names are coming up as an alias - i.e. if I add a table called PM_Plant, the table added to the report is PM_Plant1.
I also found I can go into existing reports, rename the tables in the database expert to be an alias (appending 1 to the end of the table name), then I am able to repoint them using the datasource location screen.
So it looks like there is a potential work around to the situation, but I didn't run across any information that we should need to do that.
Any recommendations how to fix the issue?
Thanks,

Hi Don,
The reports were created with CR XI R1 on my PC initially and the progress drivers have not changed since.   The reports were deployed to a server and I pulled them back to my PC to test out any changes after the CR XI R2 SP 6 upgrade. (so there is really only one machine involved, the one that had the upgrade).
I did look at the settings for verifying and tried playing around with those and also with verifying the database but that didn't make any difference.
I wasn't quite sure which registry keys to look at or what the values should be so wasn't able to pursue that option.
All the tables in the progress database use underscores as part of the table name (i.e. PM_Plant, PM_Company), do you think the upgrade to SP6 means that the underscore is now a reserved character and that is why the tables are getting aliased? If so, do you know how to change the alias settings or the list of characters that are reserved?
Just an FYI, I had to downgrade back to CR XI R1 at this point to get work done.   If time allows, I'll retry the upgrade in about 5-7 weeks. I discussed the issue with a system admininstrator and we willl try removing the progress drivers and DSN's prior to trying an upgrade again to see if that makes a difference. I'll also make sure to keep track of all Report Options and Options and also registry keys to see what changes.
Thanks

Issue with using crystal 8.5 and crystal 13 simultanously in dependent apps

Hello All,
I am facing some issue with different crystal versions used in applications. My application(let's say X13) is using crystal 13.0.10.1385 dotnet API and another application (let's say Y85) is using crystal 8.5 dotnet API version. My application X13 has a module which is dependent on application Y85 module and exchange information between them.
As both applications use crystal, CRPE32.dll is loaded in memory once for both the applications. The issue derives from the fact that the application X13 brings the crpe32.dll (version 13.0.10.1385) located in folder “C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Common\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win32_x86” into memory. If the application X13 is not loaded into memory first then the version of crpe32.dll (i.e. 8.5.0.461) located in the application Y85 install folder will be used.
As we know that CR 13 and CR 8.5 are two entirely different API's now without any compatibility with each other. Now if my application X13 is initialized first and crpe32.dll (version 13.0.10.1385) is loaded in memory, on accessing the module dependent on application Y85, Y85 tries to make crystal calls.
It tries to call to PEOpenEngine, PEOpenPrintJob, PEGetNTables, PEGetNthTableLocation, crPEGetNthTableLogOnInfo and PEGetNDatabaseFields which executes fine but It is only the call to PEGetNthDatabaseFieldInfo that fails, with a return value of 0. Below is the sequence order of calls:
A 2013 .NET Crystal Engine is initialized first using ReportDocument.Load method or CrystalEngine.CRPE.InitCrpe.Also note that calling CrystalEngine.CRPE.CloseCrpe has no positive effect of eliminating the issue.
Subsequent calls to PEOpenEngine, PEOpenPrintJob, PEGetNTables, PEGetNthTableLocation, crPEGetNthTableLogOnInfo and PEGetNDatabaseFields all execute just fine.
It is only the call to PEGetNthDatabaseFieldInfo that fails, with a return value of 0.
Question arises here is how to get PEGetNthDatabaseFieldInfo working when the .NET Crystal Engine has already been initialized.
Is there a separate declare we can add to our VB6 code that will be compatible with crpe32.dll version 13.0.10.1385?
Or can we load both crpe32.dll (version 13.0.10.1385 and 8.5.0.461) in parallel and instruct .NET crystal to use version 13 and other one to use version 8.5 dll?
I have attached a sample code demonstrating same too. It will be great if anyone can help me on this.
Crystal versions involved : 13.0.10.1385 and 8.5.0.461

Thanks
Saurabh

Hi Saurabh,
CR 8.5 never was side-by-side compatible with any other version of CR runtime.
And as of CR 9 you no longer are licensed to be able to use crpe32 as the reporting engine. R&D can change it at anytime so absolutely no support for it in that respect either. After CR 9 crpe32 was completely rewritten and a lot of parts were removed into their own dll's. The major parts were the DB drivers were renamed and the Parameter API's were also updated and old one's are no longer recognized, or may not work the same way.
So why not simply completely drop 8.5 since it is over 12 years old now... There is no reason you need to still be supporting it. We dropped support for it a long long time ago.

Issues with Bex query structures and Crystal Reports/Webi

Hi experts,
I'm having an issue with Bex Query structures and nulls. I've built a Crystal Report against a Bex query that uses a Bex Query structure. The structure looks like the following
Budget $
Budget %
Actual $
Actual %
Budget YTD
etc
if I drag the structure into the Crystal Report detail section with a key figure it displays like this
Budget $     <null>
Budget %     <null>
Actual $     300
Actual %     85
Budget YTD     250
the null values are displayed (and this is what is required). However if I filter using a Record selection or group on a profit centre then the nulls along with the associated structure component are not displayed.
Actual $     300
Actual %     85
Budget YTD     250
Webi is also behaving similarly. Can anyone explain why the above is happening and suggest a solution either on the Bex side of things or on the Crystal Reports side of things? I'm confused as to why nulls are displayed in the first example and not the second.

Hi,
Crystal Reports and Web Intelligence will only show data which is in the cube. You could have an actual 0 or Null entry whithout grouping but by changing the selection / grouping in the report the data does not include such entry anymore.

Issues with Infoview data refresh on Crystal Reports based on BW BeX query

Hi all,
We applied the Business Objects XI3.1 fix pack 3.1 with Integration toolkit fix pack 3.1 in our environment.
After that we started having trouble with Crystal Reports based on BeX queries that use manual input variables.
The data refresh would not work in Infoview.
The data refresh would work using the Crystal Reports designer gui on local machine.
regards,
Abhishek

Hi all,
This thread is for the benefit of all the BW/BO people who faced issues with BO reports not working after certain fix pack installations.
After lot of time spent in debugging this and researching and some help from SAP, we found that BASIS had missed a step in the BO patching. This step was relating to applying some BW transports in the BW system related to the new Integration toolkit.
Please use below notes for the BW transport task of patching BOE Integration toolkit.
Refer to Note#1472104 which explains about loading the
transports when we install BO Service Packs or Fix Packs. Also please refer to the Note#1271751 for the advice on transports for BW systems.
Please go through page 206 (Configuring transports) in the SAP Integration Kit installation guide. You can download this document at below link.

Hello,
I have created a Crystal report on top of BW query. In crystal report when parameter is set to null the report gets all data from BW query.
On inserting the same Crystal report to Live office document on binding the parameter i get the data for selected value for parameter but i am not able to set the parameter to null to get all the data from BW queries.
Please help!

Rahul Doshi

Hi,
I was able to solve the issue with the below code. I have added a parameter value as <Not Specifed> in paramter.
if {?parameter1}='<Not Specified>' Then like '*' else
={?Parameter1} and
if {?Parameter2}='<Not Specified>' Then like '*' else
={?Parameter2} and
if {?Parameter3}='<Not Specified>' Then like '*' else
={?Parameter3} and
if {?Parameter4}='<Not Specified>' Then like '*' else
={?Parameter4}
This code works perfectly fine in crystal report. But when i bind the parameter with excel in Live office it gives me below error.
Parameter has no value.

Issues with Apache integration with Crystal Reports

Hi,
We are using Apache as a reverse proxy to Crystal reports.
Couple of our users are having an issue with the Re-direction or executing the Crystal reports. The apache logs show,
[Sun Mar 08 14:42:38 2009] [error] [client 10.13.34.3] proxy: error reading status line from remote server
I am sure this is to do with the Active X settings on the IE.
Has anyone seen this issue ?
Thanks, Nag

Hi,
If you are using ESS/MSS 1.0 then its poss thru MSS reports launchpad.
Here is the link for it :-
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/29/d7844205625551e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
or you can do it from by publishing report first in BW andthen thru appintegrator/crystal iview you can put it into your portal.
Use following link to create your iView :-

BW hierarchies issue with BOBJ Reporting tools

Hi All,
Brief about the requirement:
Our client was using Mainframe and other tools for their reporting. Now as they have planned to go for SAP, purchased SAP BW 7 and SAP BOBJ XI 3.1 for warehouse and reporting purposes.
Initial Road map planned for implementation was
o     to use Crystal for operational and formatted reporting
o     to use WebI for Ad hoc and interactive reporting
o     to use Xcelsius for Dashboards
Once we started analysing the requirements, we observed that client requires hierarchies extensively for reporting and they donu2019t want to compromise in that for reporting. At this situation we have explored the options and came to know from the SAP sites that BO got limitations in case of BW hierarchies. But we not able to articulate the what is the exact issue. Is it with only WebI or Crystal also?
What we have articulated is we cannot report the hierarchies in BO in terms of nodes - > Sub nodes -> sub nodes instead we can do as fixed columns. Please add me if i am missing anything else.
And also please let us know options. Options that we were thinking are Implement with BO XI 3.1 considering Advanced analysis tool then upgrade to BO XI 4.1.
Please suggest us, what is the BW & BO hierarchy issue and right tools to use.
Thanks & Regards,
Bala

Our client uses XI 3.2 but is experiencing issues with Hierarchical BEX queries returning blanks - the mdx is fine - just webi that seems to have a problem and I'm also trying to determine in exactly which instances this occurs.
XI 4.x supposedly resolves mots issues but here again details are not known.
I.e. hopefully someone can point to an info source that describes in more detail what issues are likely to occur re hierarchies and webi.

CR2008 connectivity issue with BOE Universes(sap and non sap universes)

Hi Experts !!
Recently we tried to build/connect to a Universe in Crystal Reports2008 via 'Make a new connection tab'.
The universes are of SAP BW or non SAP Lying in BOE Servers and we are trying to build reports on them by conncting/utilizing the universes as a database for Crystal Reporting.
Our issue is most of the time we are not able to connect to the Universes and the connectivity blows out by some 'communication Error' thing initially.
While at some other points in time, the connectivity takes us to the Universe and we are able to select few characteristics and key figures from the Universe but the moment we go futher and try to run by pressing 'OK' button it blows out and say' LOGON FAILED'.
Apparantly, it is an connectivity issue with BOE server and from the different blogs it looks like it is a known issue for long.
The proposed issue resolution were like either CR2008 should be SP2 with BOE SP3 or there should be some additional .dll files defined in the paths in case of MSSQL database. None of this applies to us as we are on CR2008 with SP3 and going back to SP2 is probably not a viable option for us, and we are using Oracle as underlying database in this specific case.( i would like to tell you here that we are able to connect to Oracle Database directly though).
We have raised a message with SAP and was just wondering if we do have some solution/workaround already available to this known issue in place please?
Thanks&Regards.

Hi Amit,
Moved to Universe Forum.
If you have a case logged then no point posting here also, this is a public site and not a case management tool.
Once you do get the solution from your case please post it here also to help others if they have the same problem.

Issue with Hierarchies

Hi ,
We are working on BO on top of BW pilot version and finding different issues with different tools.
1) Used existing BW queries/created universe.When we run the report using Web Intelligence, not able to get the way Hierachies displays in BEx.(Tree like structure).
If we enable drill up and down option, the summary level disappeas only we can see the lower level.Which I think is a useless information to the user as it appears like a flat file data.
We created the report with possible Hierarchies upfront like a canned report, but doesn't give any option to drill up/down further, doesn't allow the user any other activity, other than dragging/dropping some columns.
2) Tried to create the report in Crystal, but because of the page limitations, I cannot get all my columns in the same page( I have 35 columns)
3) To derive the reports in XCelicius, my business partner tells me that they need to create queries on Excel to use that functionality.They are preferring to go with R/3, rather than BW, which will be again significant amount of work.
I wonder if anyone encountered these kind of issues ?
Providing these limitations, I don't see much value of having this tool on top of BW.Any comments?
I agree, it is a great tool on top of relational databases, as we are using this tool on relational databases and didn't find these many issues.
Can someone provide me the list of advantages of having BO on top of BW? I mean what BO can offer when compared to BEx( We only use BEx, no Web)
Thanks
Priya

hi,
perhaps I can bring in some clarifications :
- Crystal Reports is able to leverage the hierarchies and use a parent child relationship and show the hierarchical levels from BW. It looks like the challenge you have in Crystal Reports is that you have a lot of columns that you would like to have in your report. Crystal Reports is layout driven so you could actually set a size of the report by configuring the page setup.
- web Intelligence is exposing a hierarchy based on levels so that the user can leverage the levels in the report. when enabling the drill down you could actually go from a top level down to multiple levels of the hierarchy
- Xcelsius can leverage multiple different sources: Web Services, Crystal reports, web Intelligence. Xcelsius can use Live Office to connect to existing reports from Crystal Reports and web Intelligence.
Feel free to provide your comments / questions in case this doesn't answer your questions

Server error in printing in server using crystal report 2008 with VS2008

Hi,
We are using Crystal report 2008 in VS 2008. Everything working fine in local but when we deployed it in the server we are getting the below while print the report.
"An error occurred on the server. Printing will be stopped. Would you like to view the error information"
Anyhow the report is printing but I don't know why this error is occur and how to stop this. I had installed the CR runtime in the server. I dont know what is going wrong. The same we tested locally in a non crystal report installed PC.
Please help me to get rid out of this error.
Thanks
Natraj

Soemthing strange going on here.
Typically this Integrated vs Classic is an issue with images where Classic uses web.config tags between <system.web><httpHandlers><u2026 crystalimagehandler../></httphandlers></system.web>
Integrated uses tags between <system.webserver>u2026<handlers><..crystalimagehandler/></handlers></system.webserver>
Not sure why this would affect printing. Do you have tags that specifying where to download the printcontrol from? On the other hand, I would think that if images had anything to do with it, then you'd get red Xs when viewing. As far as I know, the printcontrol.cab doesnu2019t need to be specified in the <system.webserver> tags.
This one may be best resolved over the phone. Phone support can be obtained here:

Crystal Reports 2008 with BO Enterprise XI 3.1

Hi All,
We are in the process of implementing CR2008 with BO Enterprise XI 3.1.
We have completed the installation successfully. We can connect from CR2008 client desktop directly to BI-7 using the BO SAP Connector. But We have the following issues,
1) On CMC (OB Ent Server) we don't see any business object related roles in the list of values under the authorization. We see 3 J2EE related roles only. We did everything according to the documentation. Changed JCO (sapjco.jar) along with the DLLs to various versions and even changed the 64bit to 32bit but no luck. Classpath is also set in Tomcat but still we don't see any of the BO related roles.
2) We have created a connection to universe using Designer (BO Ent). But when we try to connect from CR2008 to universe though the Business Object Enterprise Server using the client desktops, we can only select the fields for the query. But when we try to confirm the query we get a message saying NOT LOGGED ON.
Are we doing the right thing ? We have BI-7 installed on Windows 2003 (64 Bit Server) and BO Enterprise Server XI 3.1 and SAP Connector XI 3.1 Server was also installed on the same server. We have client desktops with Crystal Report 2008 with SAP Connector Client installed.
What are we missing ?
Appreciate if you could kindly help us to get this problem solved as this is dragging for a while now.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Thanks and Regards
