Crystal XI Service Pack - Install Recomendation

We are upgrading from Crystal 10 to Crystal XI (Release 1). Do we need to install all four service packs, or can we just install SP4?

Here's a link that lists the crystal version number with the associated service pack.
http://blog.crystalreportsbook.com/2008/04
I beleive the original version is the same as Release 1.
I use SP4 for release 1 on Crystal version 11.0.0.895 and it cleared up several problems.

Crystal Report Service Pack Question

Hi,
I have some question regarding Crystal Report Service Pack for different version respectively :-
Crystal Report 9
1. I have SP5 and SP7. Can I just install SP7 without installing SP5 ?
Crystal Report XI R2
1. I have install a distribution of Crystal Report X1 R2 in a non-development server.
Can I install the latest SP6 into that non-development server ? Which SP6 I should install, preferably a link to that SP would be great.
NOTE: I am a VS.NET 2003 and 2005 developer.
Best regards
Joseph

Crystal Report 9
1. I have SP5 and SP7. Can I just install SP7 without installing SP5 ?
- Yes
Crystal Report XI R2
1. I have install a distribution of Crystal Report X1 R2 in a non-development server.
Can I install the latest SP6 into that non-development server ?
- no. From CR XI on, SPs are only meant to be used on development computers. E.g.; a computer that has the CR designer installed. To update your runtime computer, you will have to uninstall the current runtime and install the SP6 runtime:

Crystal Reports Service Pack 2

Do I need to install Crystal Reports Service Pack 1 and all the hotfixes before I install SP2 or is it all inclusive?

Hi,
It is not mandatory to install service pack and hot fixes for SP 2.
If we have the set up with crystal reports XI R2 with SP2 then we can install them directly.
Try to run the set up which we have and check with the version number 11.5.3.417 is with SP1.
Then we can install SP2 directly on SP1.
If we have only crystal reports installed on our machine then we have 11.5.0.883 version.
If we have SP2 installed on our machine then version no is 11.5.8.826.
Thanks,
Naveen.

Crystal Reports Service Pack 1 installation

I am trying to install service pack one for crystal reports 2008. It downloads, and starts the install, but says it cannot find crystal_reports.msi, which is not in the dowload folder. I have to cancel, and it backs everything out. How do I get around this?

I first installed SP0, and now SP1 installs correctly

Outlook web login screen not displaying correctly on Exchange 2007 service pack install

Hello everyone,
I believe our exchange server installed a service pack 3 update and after rebooting the server, we noticed that the Outlook web access login screen is not displaying correctly. The page looks white with some black X's (I think that's where the
pictures/background images used to be). We tried to restart the ISS service with no luck. I would appreciate any help you guys can provide.
Thanks,
Brian Kourdou

Hi,
I have seen this issue in another similar thread, that issue was solved by re-creating the OWA virtual directory.
Please try the following steps to solve this issue.
Open EMC, navigate to Server Configuration -> Client Access, under Outlook Web App tab, double-click owa (default web site) properties.
Then check InternalURL, ExternalURL, Forms-Based Authentication settings ect
Open EMS, use Get-OwaVirtualDirectory get the list of virtual directories and identify the directory which is giving the problem.
Remove it with this command
Remove-OwaVirtualDirectory “owa (Default Web Site)”
Now create it again with the following command
New-OwaVirtualDirectory -OwaVersion “Exchange2007″ -Name “owa (Default Web Site)”
Then configure the “owa” virtual directory settings like InternalURL, ExternalURL, Forms-Based Authentications etc… & check the OWA by logging with some test users.
Best Regards.

SQL Server Service Pack Install and SSRS Scale Out Environment

We have an error in our SSRS environment that looks to be addressed in SQL Server 2008 R2 SP3. Our set up is a scale out environment, 2 SSRS app servers and 1 SSRS database server. For simplicity as we are moving to 2012 soon, I would like to only install
the service pack on one of the SSRS app servers. Anyone aware of any reason besides keeping servers consistent to not do this? I don't want to go through the time to upgrade the SSRS SQL Server if I don't have to.
Thanks

Hello,
If you apply the service pack on the database server first, front-ends may not be able to provide service again until you
apply the SP to them too. I have no knowledge of other possible issue.
Remember to backup SSRS databases and encryption key before applying the service pack.
Hope this helps.

Console mode service pack install in 6.1

Hi,
I am trying to apply sp1 to WLS6.1 on solaris 2.8 in console mode
java -cp wls61sp1_upgrade_generic.zip install -i console
The above command goes through the choose locale step
It then says press <enter> to continue.
At the next point it should allow the bea home to be selected
but it displays the following and ends
PRESS <ENTER> TO CONTINUE:
===============================================================================
Choose BEA Home Directory
===============================================================================
WebLogic Server 6.1 not found
WebLogic Server Service Pack 1 Installation failed.
You do not seem to have WebLogic Server 6.1
installed for BEAHOME .
Exiting the Service Pack 1 installer...:
Any suggestions. I have run this from the /u01/bea directory
and the /u01/bea/wlserver6.1 directory with the same results
Many thanks
Bill

Chuck,
Thanks for the response.
I do have a registry.xml file in my bea home direstory.
this is my registry.xml file it looks much the same as yours
other than the service pack entry.
It is in directory /u01/bea

Bill,
Do you have registry.xml in your $BEA_HOME directory?
If not, you should be able to modify the following registry.xml for your
environment
and bypass the error you are seeing

E-commerce service pack install

I am struggling to find documentation on how to install a service pack on a customized ISA e-commerce scenario.
The application has an NWDI track and I have the following SCAs ready for install.
SAPSHRAPP11P_11-20001151.SCA
SAPSHRJAV11P_11-10002938.SCA
SAPSHRWEB11P_11-10002937.SCA
If anyone could at least point me to the correct documentation I would very much appreciate it. Even better would be a step-by-step guide!!
Thanks in advance.
Craig

Seriously though, someone must know the answer to this.
You spend a year customizing an application, make thousands of changes.... a service pack is implemented and pulled in to NWDI... when you have a look at the active version of, for instance, order.jsp from NWDS you see, of course, a whole new order.jsp with none of your modifications... right now you don't want to;
1: Synchronise in case you lose a years worth of work
2: Check-in incase you overwrite the service pack
How are service packs handled in this environment? Do SAP recommend sticking with the version you bought and never updating or is there a simple way around this?
Thanks again,
Patrick.

SQL server 2008 Service pack install with mirroring

Just looking for some official documentation about installing service pack 3 when I have a mirrored set up in high-safety mode with automatic failover.
I have found this,
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb677181%28v=sql.100%29.aspx would the same apply to the service packs as well?
Thanks

Delete service pack install directory

Hi, I want to clean up my pc.
Can I delete SP1 install dir:
C:\e4a19a58e88bb52bfb6dbd7aff
it contains a file named:
spinstall.exe
Thanks!

The best and safest way to do this is to use the Disk Space Cleanup Manager, cleanmgr.exe. You can access it by opening the Windows Explorer, right click on your system drive, usually the C: drive, and select Properties, then click on Disk Cleanup.
When Disk Cleanup is done the Disk Cleanup for Win 7 will pop up and list everything that can be cleaned off the HDD. Scroll down and select to cleanup the Service Pack files.

ApShell database rebuilt after each service pack installed ??

Hello,
Could someone please lets me know if the apshell database sample is rebuilt during an upgrade with a service pack or not ?
If so, is it rebuilt because the apshell changes with the service packs ?
Thank you in advance.
Lionel.

Hello,
Thank you very much for this answer, that confirms what I thought.
I fact, I have a problem with the installation of Service Pack in BPC 7.0 for MS.
During each upgrade, I encounter an error :
Update Sample Database: Error
and
Update Sample OLAP Database: Error
Than I manage to create manually the apshell using the ApShell.db9.
What can be the root cause of this issue ?
I have 2 servers : 1 BPC server and 1 SQL server. I used the SysAdmin user for the upgrade. This account is a domain user having administration rights on the SQL Server.
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
Lionel.

Crystal Reports Service Pack and Fix Pack documentation

I've been maintaining a wiki that documents fixed issues, specifically targeted at the .NET developer. The link to that wiki:
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=163843498
For now, I'll keep maintaining the wiki, but if it is a duplication of effort and not used, I'll take it down.
Ludek

Umm......thanks for the feedback Ludek. You've obviously taken the time to read the documentation.
My question:
Why doesn't the "CR2008 FixPack 2.8 Fixed Issues" document list any issues fixed in FP2.8. The last I heard Jason was asking about this.........
Also where is the documentation for Fix Pack 2.9?
Thanks,
Peter.

Exchange 2010 recovery after a failed service pack install

Hi all,
I have a question on Exchange 2010 SP3 installation and hope someone can help.
If the installation for some reason failed, Microsoft's article said one can use "setup /m:recoverserver" to recover Exchange. My question is if Exchange 2010 is to be recovered on the SAME server, do I still need to reset the computer account
in AD first?
Thanks in advance.

If you do not recover the OS on the system, you needn't reset the computer account. I'll caution you, though, that if you intend to re-install Exchange onto the same server without reloading the OS, you are running the risk of having the same problem
happen again. For safety's sake, recover the OS and reset the computer account.
When we upgraded one of our servers to SP2, we had a failure in the install, and Exchange was effectively wiped from the system. We had to do just what you are asking about - and we reloaded the servers, from the ground up. It's been working
fine since then, including when we just upgraded from SP2 to SP3 (UR5, in case anyone wants to know).

Updating to XI R2 Service Pack 5

Hello.
I'm current on Release 2, SP4 and I want to upgrade to SP5. Upon running the installation, the process errors out as following:
"Crystal Reports Service Pack 5 is for Crystal Reports XI R2 only, and cannot be insatlled on top of other Business Objects XI Re products."
Now I know I'm on XI R2 but does having BOE Release 2 software install matter for this as well? I'm not sure why it should but I'm clueless why the previous 4 service packs did not error out like this but this one does.

Hi Eric,
Try to install BOE service pack 5 first, it will apply it for crystal reports XI R2 also.
Because BOE is higher version than crystal report designer.
Thanks,
Naveen.
