Error In ECC For Crystal Report Containing Sub-Report Link

Hi,
We are using Crystal Reports 2013. We extracted a Crystal Report from SAP ECC to modify it further utilizing the features of Crystal and export it back to SAP ECC.
The updated Crystal Report has a Sub-Report link within it, while exporting it back to SAP ECC, we get the attached error message as "layout.subreport should not contain any data connections".
However, on removing the Sub-Report link, the report can be successfully exported back to ECC and executes without any issues.
Is there any limitation on features to be used when exporting Crystal Reports to ECC?
Thanks & Regards,
Mitalee

CRVS2010 Beta - Report Viewer Errors for Crystal Reports in VS 2010

I have a project that was written in VS 2008 targeting the 3.5 framework which contains a ton of Crystal Reports. I recieved my new license for VS 2010 and did the install along with the Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2. I converted my project over successfully. I am able to open up the reports on their own. When I try to save them they want to be converted to the new format. This also works fine. My problem is the Crystal Reports Viewer. I am not able to add any reports to the viewer without receiving error messages. I have tried using the 10.5 and the latest version of the viewer, but receive errors everytime that I try to add a report to it. I always recevie the following error:
"Error invoking 'Choose a Crystal Report...'. Details: Invalid Report Source"
I have also tried just creating a brand new report from the Crystal Report Viewer Tasks window. When I do that I get this error:
"Unable to find the report in the manifest resources. Please buld the project, and try again." "Error invoking 'Create a New Crystal Report...'. Details: Unable to find the report in the mnifest resources. Please build the project, and try again."
I have tried changed the framework target to 4.0, but this has not helped. I have tried using the 14.0 versions of the references and the 10.5 versions. I have searched all over the internet for a resolution, but can't seem to find one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am having the same problem. You say make sure all of my assemblies are version 14. Three questions:
1. Now that I have removed all of the old Crystal assemblies from my project, what are the assemblies that I need to add back?
2. My VS 2010 "add references" popup shows me many crystal assembles (Crystal XI is also installed) which ones to I need to install now?
3. If I don't know what they are, or where to find them, how do I determine their version?
You solution reminds me of the old saying "If I had ham, I could make ham and eggs. If I had eggs!"
More information please,
J Rich

How do I resolve error 1310 while installing crystal report version for visual studio 2010.

How do I resolve error 1310. I try to install crystal version for visual studio 2010, but I got this error message. Error 1310. Error writing to file. mcf80.dll.verify that you have access to that directory. My pc is window 7 (32 bit). Please I need help
urgently to work with this program in my system successfully. Please help.

Hello Dorohidea,
Do you mean that when you install crystal report in virtual studio 2010, you receive the error message about error 1310?
Please take a look at the following KB.
Support for Crystal Reports for Visual Studio
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/317789/en-us
In Visual Studio 2010, to create a Crystal Reports project or Web site or to import existing projects or Web sites that were created by using older versions of Visual Studio or Crystal Reports, you must first install a version of Crystal Reports that is
compatible with Visual Studio 2010.
For more information about how to use Crystal Reports in Visual Studio 2010, visit the following SAP Crystal Reports website:

DB2 support for Crystal Reports for Enterprise And Unx errors

Hi,
I have a requirement to create a report in CrystalReports for Enterprise 4 sourcing data from Oracle 11 and IBM DB2 V9 databases. My first approach is to create relational connections for both the databases in the BO Repository (using Universe designer) and use them directley in the CR for Enterprise. Here I was able to create the two connections but unable to use the DB2 connnection in the report. I get the below error:
"The Database DB2V9 is not supported".
Is DB2 is a supported database for Crystal reports for Enterprise ??
My second approach is to create a multisource universe using IDT. Here when I try to create the Datafoundation layer, I get to see the tables from the DB2 databasae but When I expand the Oracle connection, I get this error: "conversion from UTF8 to charset failed: encoding not loaded".
Im unable to create a multisource universe at all no matter what connections I use.
Here is some additional info:
SAP BI4.1 SP1
Windows 2008 R2 servers
Oracle 11g
IBM DB2 V9.7
Any suggestions please!
Thanks,
Ravinder

Hi,
First of all I would strongly advice you to only use IDT for your universe development. The old Universe Designer is a legacy tool and should not be used unless you are using products that doesn't support IDT universes.
The issue you are facing for your Oracle connection is likely caused by a missing path variable.
Add "C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win64_x64" to the PATH environment variables on the SAP Business Objects Enterprise server.
Restart the SIA
NOTE: Modify the path in case the SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise is installed in different folder.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Josh

How to install SharePoint MOSS 2007 PIK for Crystal Report Server XI R2?

My configuration is :
Moss 2007 without any Crystal Report or BO component. on one box with Windows 2003 server
Cyrstal Report Server XI R2 on another box
I have downloaded the kit installation: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/webcontent/uuid/503988db-58c5-2b10-f79d-cb96700417f9 [original link is broken]
I used this one as they said:
BusinessObjects XI Release 2 SharePoint 2007 Portal Integration Kit
Download BusinessObjects XI Release 2 SharePoint 2007 Portal Integration Kit - ZIP 5MB
I do not have BO Enterprise.
Thanks,

Answered my own question. Managed to upgrade to 5.0 following this process, but follow these instructions with care...
1. Stop all CMS services in Config Manager.
2. Go to Add/Remove programs and click "change" for Crystal Reports Server XI. Click on "Modify" then change the entry for MySQL4.1.13a to "Entire Feature will be unavailable" (from Enterprise -> Server Components -> Servers - > Central Management Server). This will remove the existing mySQL version and any data/license key information/customisation, so be wary.
3. Install the desired version of mySQL.
4. Use the MySql command line to create a new database - "create DATABASE BOE115;"
5. In the Central Config Manager, select the CMS and display its properties. Select the Dependencies tab and remove the old version of mySQL and add the new version. Click on the Config tab, then Select Datasource. Select mySQL driver, then complete the details for the newly created database. Once complete it will still produce an error, at which point you need to select the options to Re-create the Current Datasource.
6. Once the datasource is sucessfully recreated, restart the Crystal service in the Config Manager.
7. Open the Config tool, and add your license key. Then Re-Enable all the servers within the Servers page.
8. Any other customisation or preferences would need to be re-applied.
This worked for me, but obviously take care as your existing mySQL database will be completely removed during the process.

Stored Procedure for Crystal Reports

Hi All,
I developed this test stored procedure to see wheather we could a stored procedure for crystal reports. It compiled without any problem, but when I run it, it gives me error message. Here is the stored Procedure..
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE WOLD1SIM.TEST_PROCEDURE(
TEST_CURSOR IN OUT TEST_PACKAGE.TEST_TYPE,
TEST_PARAMETER IN TEST_TABLE.ID%TYPE)
AS
BEGIN
OPEN TEST_CURSOR FOR
SELECT *
FROM TEST_TABLE
WHERE TEST_TABLE.ID = TEST_PARAMETER;
END TEST_PROCEDURE;
And
This is the error message..
ERROR at line 2:
ORA-06550: line 2, column 1:
PLS-00201: identifier 'TEST_PROC' must be declared
ORA-06550: line 2, column 1:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
I have created the package sucessfully.
I was wondering If any one of you can advice me where I am making the mistake.
Thank you

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE WOLD1SIM.TEST_PROCEDURE(TEST_CURSOR IN OUT TEST_PACKAGE.TEST_TYPE,
TEST_PARAMETER IN TEST_TABLE.ID%TYPE)
...you have 2 parameters in your procedure WOLD1SIM.TEST_PROCEDURE(). you should also use two parameters when you execute the procedure.

Business Objects Enterprise Licensing for Crystal Reports

I am new to Business Objects & Crystal Reports. I have recently been given the repsonsibility of supporting our BO XI R2 environment. This system is not in production yet, but initial use has shown an inability to create a crystal report.
If I select Crystal Reports Explorer in Business Objects Enterprise Applications, I get the following error:
"You do not have the correct keycode installed to use this option. Please contact your support office for further details."
I informed my boss who provided me with a "Crystal Reports Explorer Windows XI R2 License CPU English" keycode.
I entered this keycode in the License keys correctly. The license reflects "BusinessObjects Crystal Reports Explorer" but does not show any licenses - just dashes for named users, concurrent users, processors, expires...
I still get the same error when accessing the Crystal Reports Explorer.
Am I missing something here? Is there more that I need to do, or is there a problem with the keycode?

Please post this query to the Business Objects Enterprise Administration forum:
BI Platform
That forum is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there. Also, all BOE queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.
Thank you for your understanding,
Ludek

Merge files or redist installer for Crystal Reports 2011

I cannot find packages for merge files or installer for the redistribution files for Crystal Reports 2011. I have found them only for older versions. In the download section there is somewhere a hint that they are at a different position but no information where.
Can anyone help me?
Thank you
Arne Ortlinghaus

Hi Don,
thank you. It is ok using the files you indicated me. But there are still some doubts.
What does happen on a machine where a designer 2011 (internal version 14) is installed and an application that uses the dlls for Visual Studio 2010 (internal version 13). Does this work without problems?
In a readme for the redistributables for Visual Studio 2010 I have found the following text which I cannot interprete:
If you have installed Crystal Reports 2011 or any of the SAP BusinessObjects XI 4.0 products,
you may notice that their installation contains the same "Crystal Reports 2011" and "SAP
BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0" folders as you see in this folder. Please note that the
folder/files names may be the same but most files have a different version, and are not
compatible with the Crystal Reports 2011 or SAP BusinessObjects XI 4.0 products.
Currently we want to upgrade our programs from Crystal Reports 9 to 2011 and we have many installations where for one machine the Crystal Reports Designer is needed together with our applications.

Hi,
Are you talking about the fields coming from the Data Source Explorer?.
If "Yes" then there is no such limits.
Are you able to run the report through the eclipse designer?

Best practise BW Query design for Crystal Reports integration

Hi all,
I am looking for a guide on best practices when designing a BW Query to be used as data foundation for a Crystal Report.
The scenario is that I am responsible for developing the Crystal Reports part, but not the BW Query part, therefore I would like to provide a list of best practises to the person who is responsible for the Query, this way make sure that the integration will work as good as possible. The setup is of course using BO Integration Kit for SAP.
An example is how to use authorization variables in the query to provide data security. This is just one example, there are problably a number of other things to be aware of. A document containing suggestions for best practices is what I am looking for, or if the document does not exist, input to what should be on such a list.
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Rasmus

Hi Rasmus,
in regards to the Best Practices for Crystal Reports you can leverage all the knowledge you have on the Query Design today already. if you not the person for designing the query I think it is important to make sure people designing the queries do understand how Crystal Reports is leveraging the elements from the BI Query.
/people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2008/02/19/businessobjects-and-sap-part-2
You should try to put as much as possible into the BI query from the logic point of view.
and you can also build common BI queries - there is no need to build a BI query for each report.

I am looking for Crystal reports arleady designed.

I am looking for Crystal reports already designed. Does anyone know where I could fine them?

Navin,
Thanks for the reply, I have another question you might be able to answer.
I have a picture field (blob field) on the same line as our Product ID field (regular data field) and i want the report to show the picture that goes with that Product ID. 50% of our products dont have pictures, so when I print the report, it currently prints large empty spaces for the Products that dont have pictures and makes the report quite long and unattractive.
I have tried to supress the field and also put the field in its own section and use a formula for supressing if the data is blank, but I get the error message that says "Can not use a BLOB field in a formula".
I need to find a way around this. Can you, or any of your experts help?
I could send you the report with some data in it if that would help.
Thanks again!
JM

JRC Deployment Guide for Crystal Reports 2008

I just downloaded a trial version of Crystal Reports 2008 & was testing out the integration of this component into our Java web based application.
I found the "Crystal Reports XI Release 2 - Java Reporting Component Deployment Guide" PDF file, but I was wondering if there was a more recent version of this guide for Crystal Reports 2008. Maybe I'm a bit confused regarding the versions but this guide currently references JARs in a folder under ...\3.5\java\lib. However, when I looked in the same section of Crystal 2008, I noticed it was \4.0\java\lib & the JARs are different.
Is there a new JRC Depolyment Guide for Crystal Reports 2008?...If not, is there any documentation I can use to map between the 3.5 libraries and the 4.0 libraries?
Thanks

Hi,
There is no separate JRC has been launched for the CR 2008.
But SAP has launched the Crystal Reports 4 Eclipse 2.0 in which CR 2008 has been integraqted with backword compatibility.
To know more please check following link:
