Hi,
If you have saved a crystal report in sap. Go to PFCG and select the report and delete it.
OR
Try to delete it from file menu.

Unable to delete saved Crystal reports in SAP BW Browser

Hi everyone ,
We are trying to test Integration of Crystal reports with SAP BW .
CR developer version installed - 12.0.3.900
SAP BW 7.0
I have 2 issues :
1) When I try to open SAP Query from CR SAP menu bar , somehow a blank SAP screen opens first and stays as long as I have CR developer open. I would then have to click on CR from the status line to begin using the software. The blank screen remains the way it is.
2) I am unable to delete Crystal reports which are saved in SAP BW Browser . I can delete any other BEX workbook in the same folder .
Am I missing any role authorizations to delete Crystal reports in BW Browser ?
Thanks in advance for your help.

When deleting running crystal report from BOE CMC, it leaves Oracle thread?

hi, Yesterday, we discovered an anomaly. From BOE's CMC, I deleted a running Crystal Report instance. I believed that this would "cancel" the running report. However, later, it produced a message. It apparently kept on running in Oracle until it finished.
My question: when I delete a job from BOE's CMC, what else must we do to cancel it from continuing in Oracle? Apparently, it continued to be a "thread" in Oracle.
What additional steps should I take or are there any setup steps? Thank you.
Our BOE version (copied from the CMC about screen) is: Product: 12.1.0 © 2008 Business Objects (or Product Version: 12.2.0.290).
Thank you,
Dean

I'd just been trying instructions in SAP note: 1407795 when this reply came through.... I can confirm this worked for me.
The error codes I found in the Windows Event viewer, both yesterday and today are listen below:
RCIRAS0240
RCIRAS0622
RCIRAS0567
RCIRAS0244
The issues that are described in this post and the ones I have seen first-hand when the screen hangs when viewing this report on-demand, or the report running for a longer than expected time when scheduled, are covered by the above error codes.
A known cause of the issues you are experiencing is that when these particular reports were created, a network printer was specified as the default printer, this printer may now either be unavailable, IP address may have changed, etc.
There do seem to be two options available:
Option 1 - Remove the printer driver dependency
Open this report in the Crystal Reports Designer.
Under the File menu, click on Page Setup.
Select the No Printer option.
Option 2 - Add or correct the printer that the report is designed with
Open the Report in the Crystal Reports Designer
Under the File menu, click on Page Setup
Make not of the printer that is listed in the Page Setup dialog
Log on to the BusinessObjects Enterprise Server that houses the Crystal Reports Processing Servers.
Make sure you log in as the user account that runs the Crystal Reports services. This is generally the account that runs the Service Intelligence Agent (SIA)
Go to Control Panel and click on Printers
Ensure that the same printer is configured on the server that is used in the Crystal Report
In the printer already exists, try removing it and re-adding it.

Delete Crystal Report Design in Report and Layout Manager

Crystal Reports 2008 failed to retrive data, and instead deleted it.

I have been using crystal reports 2008 for the past year or so with our billing software through an OBDC data source. I was using xp pro sp3. However I recently upgraded to a new computer running xp pro sp3 as well, and now I am having some serious issues.
When I try to connect to a data source in the database expert, it shows all the tables, and then the field explorer shows the fields, but when I actually try to brows the data, view a preview, verify the database, or refresh an old report it gives me an error and DELETES the .dat file that the field was located in. I am so glad I have regular backups to restore too, because pulling a report nuked 5 .dat files.
The errors I am getting are as follows:
"Failed to retrieve data from database."
Clicked ok
"Failed to retrieve data from database."
Clicked ok
"Database Connector Error: 'HY000:[Pervasive][ODBC Client Interface][LNA][Pervasive][ODBC Engine Interface][Data Record Manager]The file cannot be created with Variable-trail Allocation Tables (VATs)(Btrieve Error 105)'"
Clicked ok
"Failed to retrieve data from database.
Details:HY000:[Pervasive][ODBC Client Interface][LNA][Pervasive][ODBC Engine Interface]Unable to open table: <nameoftable>"
Click ok
and Crystal stays open but has just deleted the .dat file that the table was located in. It will still show the fields but no data. Trying to open the other software leads to an error "missing <name of table>.dat" It then has to be restored from a backup.
I have tried updating crystal as well as fully uninstalling it and reinstalling it, we have created a new ODBC connection, and cloned the database for testing purposes. The same thing occurs with the new database and ODBC data source.
We have no other computers, except my old one that has crystal reports on it. I have tried the old computer again and it is working fine.
Does anyone have an suggestions? This is pretty critical. Thanks in advance.

Hello, you could try turning on ODBC tracing to see if it logs anything. It's a pain to get going but here's how.
Go to ODBC Admin, Click on the Tracing tab and create a log file and save. Don't start tracing yet. Close the ODBC admin and then re-open it and then turn tracing on. You may have to do this a few times to get it working.
Once it's tracing then open CR and try the demo data. Then close the report, log off, log onto the real data and do the same with a new report. You'll see a bunch of ODBC API's but there may be one or 2 that don't look right or errors may be logged compared to the DEMODATA.
Another suggestion is it may not be your PC doing the deleting. Maybe the Server thinks you have infected the data files and it's deleting them. Have a look in anti-virus quarantine logs on the server to see if it's doing the nasty....
Check the trust between your PC and the server.
I've also seen this type of odd behaviour with corrupted Profiles. Check with your IT guys on creating a new one for you, it's apain because you loose everything on your work station.
What happens if you log on from another PC using your account? Does that also delete the files? Or get someone else who it does work for log into your PC, does that work? If so it may be your Profile is either not trusted or it's been corrupted.
Good luck

Deleted crystal report still showing in Authorization window

Hi there,
I have a report created in crystal report and imported into SAP B1.
Then I deleted it from Report and Layout Manager.
However, the report can still be seen from Authorizations window.
It canu2019t be seen from Main Menu though.
Is there any way I can remove the report from Authorization window?
Thanks,

How to delete all the crystal reports from SAP B1 ?

Dear Experts,
I have one problem and I need to Delete all the Crystal PLD's and Crystal Reports from SAP B1.
I can delete a PLD or Report using delete option from Report and layout manager or layout designer.
But I need to select delete option for each PLD and It makes very time.I have some 200 Reports and I need to delete fully.
Is there any possible to multi delete option in SAP B1?
I have searched many but i will not receive proper solution. Any one can explain how to do This?
Thanks ,
Karthikeyan.P
MSBI Developer-Chennai

Dear Karthikeyan,
Manual deletion is actually the most safe way to delete them. If you try update B1 tables directly, you are against SAP support rule.
Thanks,
Gordon

How to recover the deleted reports from crystal reports XIR2

Hi,
There have been few crystal reports have been deleted from crystal environment and i would like to know how to recover them. please advice the best possible ways to recover them. CMS repositoty in SQL server database
thanks in advance
Regards,
Krishna

Hope, your question is this "How to recover the deleted Crystal reports in XI R2".
Answer for this question is...
Yes, it is possible if you have backup of your CMS and FRS.
Copy the CMS database from the backup to your database server and point the CMS ODBC system DSN to it.
Copy the backed up file store to a Temp directory.
Change the path of input and output file repository servers in the CMC, for each server, to the Temp file store directory.
You will now be able to find the reports. Copy those reports to the BO server's local disk, or create a BIAR file using the Import Wizard.
Point the ODBC system DSN back to the original database and also change the paths on input file repository and output file repository servers back to their original locations.
Publish the reports to Enterprise from the BusinessObjects server's local hard disk.

User cannot access Crystal reports after user was deleted and recreated

We are using Crystal Enterprise XIr2. We are using Windows AD authentication. We had an issue with a user where they were deleted in Active Directory. Now they can no longer run Crystal reports. When I go into the CMC and open users I see this user. When I try to open this user I get the following error
There was an error while retrieving data from the server: Active Directory Authentication failed to get the Active Directory groups for the account with ID "8B003DF11D45B244AC3B61AB36B6C445:ALLENDG". Please make sure this account is valid and belongs to an accessible domain.
I think Crystal is still trying to access the user's old Active Directory account.
I cannot delete the user either in CMC.
Is there someway I can correct this user.
Thanks
Adam

Arjun - Thank you for your help. I looked in Central Management Console but I could not find what you indicated.
CMC--> Public Folder --> Administration Tools
In administration tool, there are two objects
1) Update Windows AD Group Graph
2) Update Windows AD Group Graph and Aliases --> Right click on this Report and click on RUN Now.
I ended up deleting the records for this user in these SQL tables and then user could access InfoView
CMS_Aliases5 (2 records for this user)
CMS_InfoObjects5 (1 record with both aliases)

Crystal Report 2008 SP3 and BO XI 3.1 conflict

Hi every body,
We have a BOE system:
BO XI 3.1
Oracle db 10g
All running successful and can create some types of WebI report.
But we also want reports with Crystal Report.
1> So we install Crystal Report 2008 SP3 (without knowing the conflict error between BO XI 3.1 and Crystal Report 2008 SP3 and overwrite some .dll file). After installing, we can not create WebI report any more. And a error message box display: "DBDriver failed to load: C:\Program File\Business Objects\BusinessObjects ENterprise12.0\win32_x86\dataAccess\connectionServer\dbd_oci.dll ".
2> We uninstall Crystal Report SP3. But this is not the solution. Still error because of missing .dll files.
3> We open BO XI 3.1 setup and repair BO XI 3.1. Even we uninstall BO XI 3.1, delete all of its components and delete in regedit key. We install BO XI 3.1 again. Now we have full .dll file, not missing them any more. But when we open universe and click on Table browser, cannot fetching any tables.
We set rights for Oracle DB user again. But still error: cannot fetching.
4> We searched the solution for this problem on the internet. But not worked, no answer.
Can somebody help me bring back the BOE system state again ? pls :"<
T______T

Hi Paul,
I hope I read your question right!
Yes, It is possible to run XIR2 and 3.1 on the same server although it's not recommended by BO. You will need to make sure they are both pointing to different CMS databases and different FRS repositories, like you already mentioned you will need to specify different ports for the CMS db and Tomcat.
Why not uninstall Business Objects XI R2 in your BO development environment or a spare server (if you have one), and do a clean install of XI 3.1 SP3.
Tip: If you were already having performance issues with your XI R2 environment, I would seriously consider upgrading the hardware. XI 3.1 needs a bit more RAM and CPU than XI R2

Crystal report file locked

Hello,
I have an application in Visual Basic 6.0 an use Crystal Reports 8.5 through OCX. Whenever I open a report and close it again, the report file is locked on the computer. I have to shut down my VB6 program in order to be able to delete or overwrite it on my PC. I think I do not close my report properly, so it stays in memory as long as my VB6 application runs.
My code runs as follows:
   Load frmBeginEnEinddatumIngeven
   frmBeginEnEinddatumIngeven.Show vbModal
   If Not frmBeginEnEinddatumIngeven.blnAnnulerenGekozen Then
      With crptBRUMUKassasysteem
         .Formulas(0) = "Begindatum = '" & Format(frmBeginEnEinddatumIngeven.dtBegindatum, "dddd dd mmmm yyyy") & "'"
         .Formulas(1) = "Einddatum = '" & Format(frmBeginEnEinddatumIngeven.dtEinddatum, "dddd dd mmmm yyyy") & "'"
         .SelectionFormula = ""
               .ReportFileName = gsRapportenpad & "Ticket\rptTicketPeriodeVerkoop.rpt"
               .SelectionFormula = "{tblA_Musea.MU_Museum_id} = " & glVerkooplocatie_id & " And {tblTV_Sessies.TVSE_Begintijd} >= #" & Format(frmBeginEnEinddatumIngeven.dtBegindatum, "mm/dd/yyyy") & "# And {tblTV_Sessies.TVSE_Begintijd} < #" & Format(frmBeginEnEinddatumIngeven.dtEinddatum + 1, "mm/dd/yyyy") & "#"
               .Action = 1
               .ReportFileName = gsRapportenpad & "Ticket\rptTicketPeriodeBezoekersstatistiek.rpt"
               .SelectionFormula = "{tblA_Musea.MU_Museum_id} = " & glVerkooplocatie_id & " And {tblTV_Sessies.TVSE_Begintijd} >= #" & Format(frmBeginEnEinddatumIngeven.dtBegindatum, "mm/dd/yyyy") & "# And {tblTV_Sessies.TVSE_Begintijd} < #" & Format(frmBeginEnEinddatumIngeven.dtEinddatum + 1, "mm/dd/yyyy") & "#"
               .Action = 1
                 .Formulas(0) = ""
         .Formulas(1) = ""
         .SelectionFormula = ""
      End With
   End If
Can anyone help me to solve this problem?
Many thanks and greetings,
Michel

Hi,
Did you try running one report first if still the problem persist? Or try running other report with one condition only, Let say try to run this first,
If Not frmBeginEnEinddatumIngeven.blnAnnulerenGekozen Then
With crptBRUMUKassasysteem
.Formulas(0) = "Begindatum = '" & Format(frmBeginEnEinddatumIngeven.dtBegindatum, "dddd dd mmmm yyyy") & "'"
.Formulas(1) = "Einddatum = '" & Format(frmBeginEnEinddatumIngeven.dtEinddatum, "dddd dd mmmm yyyy") & "'"
.SelectionFormula = ""
.ReportFileName = gsRapportenpad & "Ticket\rptTicketPeriodeVerkoop.rpt"
.SelectionFormula = "{tblA_Musea.MU_Museum_id} = " & glVerkooplocatie_id & " And {tblTV_Sessies.TVSE_Begintijd} >= #" & Format(frmBeginEnEinddatumIngeven.dtBegindatum, "mm/dd/yyyy") & "# And {tblTV_Sessies.TVSE_Begintijd} < #" & Format(frmBeginEnEinddatumIngeven.dtEinddatum + 1, "mm/dd/yyyy") & "#"

Can not view/schedule Crystal Reports in new BOE XI 3.0 Installation

Hello,
I'm having an issue on a brand new installation of BusinessObjects XI 3.0 on AIX 5.2 (using WebSphere 6.0). Installation went smoothly and migration went fine. Can log in, pull up CMC, InfoView (all other apps). But scheduled Crystal Reports (as well as viewing Crystal Report thru InfoView) are failing with the following errors (which to me seem interrelated):
*(1) Error in File ~cec0c55d91e0e015.rpt: The request could not be submitted for background processing*
*(2) Error in Report XXX: Failed to load database information*
*(3) An error occurred while creating a subprocess in the processing server. [RCIRAS0604]*
These three errors indicate to me that the report engines are having issues opening the files, pulling the data and generating the reports. We've checked to make sure that the account that BOE is running under has all the permissions it needs - and it has.
I just turned on tracing (-trace) on the report job processing servers and I'm watching the logs as I retrace my steps...
Any ideas? Would appreciate any feedback...
Thanks,
Will

Turns out this is a pretty nasty issue on Unix environments. Being that the BOE application is developed on Windows then ported to Unix environments, the services (daemons) still end up depending on an emulated registry (MainWin) sort of like in a Windows environment.
For some reason (we're still trying to figure this out), the BOE registry entries got corrupted and then started preventing the processing servers (which in the case of CR ultimately depend on CRPE - Crystal Reports Print Engine) from opening up and processing CR files.
We engaged BusinessObjects/SAP support and have been able to resolve this issue on our test AIX system. The resolution included deleting all the mainwin (mw) tmp directories and files in the root temp directory and also in the
/bobje/enterprise120/aix_rs6000/crpe>
directory. Then we stopped all BOE services and reran the MW script to regenerate registry entries. This repair was a pretty intricate multi-step process. The SAP Technical Rep who worked on this case is writing a knowledge base article (an SAP note). Once I get details, I'll update this post.
The good news about this issue is that the upcoming SP1 of XI 3.0 removes the dependency on the mw registries...

Two problmes between Crystal Reports 2008 and Bex Query

Hi Gurus.
I have two problems with Crystal Reports 2008 when It obtains data from a Bex Query (SAP MDX query connection).
1)     I have defined some Parameters Fields using the follow options:
Type: String
List of Values: Dynamic
Value Options Level1:
                     Show on (Viewer) Panel :Editable
                      Prompt text: <text>
                      Sort Order: Ascending by value
                      Prompt With description Only : False
                      Optional Prompt: True
                      Allow multiple values: True
                      Allow discrete values: True
                      Allow range values: False
When I execute the report with the client of Crystal Reports 2008 (the developer tool), in the initial screen shows a list box where I can select the values from the left box and add it to the left box (as a usually filter). When the number of options (LOV) is more than the maximum of the system, I have a input box bellow the list box, where I can insert any value (manually) and a button to insert it into the left box. When I publish the Report in the infoview, this filter is modified and the input box where I can introduce manually values is not showed and I can insert only the values showed in the list box, it causes that I can`t select a lot of values that is in the master data of SAP BW, because they arenu2019t listed in the list box.
There is any option to ability this option in the infoview.
2)     My Bex query, have a date filter with variable in the restricted key figures, when I execute a Crystal Reports, the infoview (and the Crystal Reports 2008 designer) ask me 2 times the same date, first only the date and second the date and the rest of parameters (introduced in the report of Crystal Reports).
Why I need insert the date 2 times? How can I modify the Crystal Report for ask me only one time all the parameters?.
Thanks.

Hi Abhilash.
Thank you for your information.
1) Yes, the parameters are created in the Crystal Reports designer. I have created the parameters in the Crystal Report because I use the same Bex Query to create some Crystal Report, in other case, I will need create some Bex Query.
2)The Bex query has the date filters and I have created some filters in Crystal Reports designer, the date filter from the Bex query is created automatically in the Crystal Report Designer but I don't use it, I haven't created it anytime. I use my filters only in the record selection. The date filters from the Bex query is showed as Static, and I can`t delete it, if I modify the parameter to dynamic or static with values, at first step ask me again static without values and the second step of the report execution ask me the parameter as I have defined in Crystal Reports Designer, my parameters fields are dynamic. A lot of reports have subreport, but I have created one of them without subreport (to trial) and the Crystal Reports ask me the date filters at first execution, and when I insert the date filters, in the second step, ask me the date filters again and my parameters fields again.
Thank you again.

How do I deploy my Crystal Reports webapp???

Post Author: figue
CA Forum: .NET
Hi, i've developed a web application using Visual Studio .Net and using the Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2005. I've read almost all the "how-tos" that are available on the net to solve my situation, but i couldn't manage to deploy my application.
I have no physical access to the web server, and i cannot execute a .exe or a .msi installer (i cannot use the "merge modules" solution).The only solution i think may help me is copying the Crystal Reports dll's to my BIN folder and using those dll's instead of using the GAC references.Here's what i've done:- I copied all the dll's that I found on Program Files/Common Files/Business Objects/2.7/Managed into my app's BIN folder.- I deleted all the references to the Crystal Reports' assemblies from my solution's property pages. FIRST PROBLEM: The references were deleted, but when I closed the solution, and opened it again, all the references returned.. After trying again and again, they finally dissapeared.- I tryied to add the references to the dll's that were into my app's BIN folder, but when I browse the file, select it, and accept the dialog box, nothing happens. No reference is added into the References window.- I tryied to add the GAC references again, to return to the previous state, but it's the same, i select the reference from the GAC and when i accept the dialog box, nothing happens.- I thought that maybe my pc has some troubles with the installed versions of crystal reports (i hace 8.5, XI and CR for VS 2005 installed), so i created a Virtual Machine, Installed VS 2005 and created a new web application with one .aspx and one .rpt and tryied to change the GAC's references for the BIN's DLLs. The same thing happend.
Can somebody please help me? I'm gettin' really tired of trying and trying things and not gettin' in solved.
Regards from Argentina

Unfortunately, xcopy deployments of Crystal Reports .NET assemblies won't work, since they rely on some dll's via COM-Interop.
Those components have to be registered on the server - via merge modules install - and regretably, you're restricted from doing so.

Need to adjust SQL query for left outer join in Crystal Reports 2008.

I need to change this SQL 2005 query.....
SELECT     omnicell_anl.DeviceIDsLastMetricTable.member_id, omnicell_anl.DeviceIDsLastMetricTable.[Device Name],
                      omnicell_anl.DeviceIDsLastMetricTable.Account, omnicell_anl.labeledLastMetrics.PROPERTY_NAME,
                      omnicell_anl.labeledLastMetrics.latest_monitor_value
FROM         omnicell_anl.DeviceIDsLastMetricTable LEFT OUTER JOIN
                      omnicell_anl.labeledLastMetrics ON omnicell_anl.DeviceIDsLastMetricTable.member_id = omnicell_anl.labeledLastMetrics.member_id
WHERE
    omnicell_anl.labeledLastMetrics.PROPERTY_NAME = ?MyProperty
To this query in Crystal Reports Report Writer:
SELECT     omnicell_anl.DeviceIDsLastMetricTable.member_id, omnicell_anl.DeviceIDsLastMetricTable.[Device Name],
                      omnicell_anl.DeviceIDsLastMetricTable.Account, omnicell_anl.labeledLastMetrics.PROPERTY_NAME,
                      omnicell_anl.labeledLastMetrics.latest_monitor_value
FROM         omnicell_anl.DeviceIDsLastMetricTable LEFT OUTER JOIN
                      omnicell_anl.labeledLastMetrics ON omnicell_anl.DeviceIDsLastMetricTable.member_id = omnicell_anl.labeledLastMetrics.member_id AND
                      omnicell_anl.labeledLastMetrics.PROPERTY_NAME = ?MyProperty
I can't seem to get the left outer join function of Crystal Reports to emulate the same SQL query in SQL 2005. Any ideas on how I can create this same query in Crystal 2008?
Thanks,
Dominic

If you want the list of values for command level parameter then you need to add another command like
select PropertyField from table
and delete the links between this command and the existing command.
Now go to field explorer and edit the command level parameter and make it as dynamic and add the property field from newly added command.
Hope this helps!
