Error while trying to export a report into PDF using JRC (Linux env)
Hi all,
I have my web app installed on a Linux environment. When trying to export a CR report into PDF using JRC
PrintOutputController controller = reportClientDoc.getPrintOutputController();
ByteArrayInputStream byteArrayInputStream = (ByteArrayInputStream) controller.export(ReportExportFormat.PDF);
I got this error message:

On my Windows environment the JRC export into PDF work perfectly. I know that there are some known issues regarding the usage of JRC on Linux environments. Could this be one of those?
Any solution (or workaround) would be highly appreciated!
Thank you!
PS Maybe this is relevant: I use a MySQL database!

What kind of image do you have in the report?
Do you have -Djava.awt.headless=true specified for the Java JVM option?
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Error on server while trying to export a report into PDF using JRC (CR XI)
13/01/2009 11:52:32 dataengine ERROR Formula error: recompile formulas failed
com.crystaldecisions.reports.formulas.FormulaException: Exception in formula '{@Record Selection}' at '{reports_selection.idReport}':

com.crystaldecisions.reports.exportinterface.exceptions.ExportException: Exception in formula '{@Record Selection}' at '{reports_selection.idReport}':
This field name is not known.
The error occurs only on the server deployed application, in localhost environment it works fine. So I guess it might have something to do with the server environment, but I can't figure it out. The table reports_selection and the field idReport are well presented in the database.
The idReport(Number) is passed as a parameter to the report.
In Select expert... I have the following formula {table1.idReport} = {?idReport} and in Database expert... I have a join between table1 and reports_selection by idReport.
Does anyone know what might cause this problem?Have you able to preview the report via the Central Management Console?
When you upload the report template to the server, be sure to do a preview to make is sure its working there.
It might be that your server is using a different DB Connection.

We're using ASP.net with .Net 4, developing with Visual Studio 2012. We use SSRS 2012sp1 with local reports, so exporting the report ourselves instead of using a reportviewer control (and not using the SQL Reporting service). The reports are
executing fine when we export the report in the main thread, but if we spawn a worker thread and run a report there we receive the following error when calling Render():
Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportProcessing.ReportProcessingException: Failed to load expression host assembly. Details: Invalid token for impersonation - it cannot be duplicated.
We only receive this when running a report that uses expressions on a separate thread. I've tried running the application pool under all the default built-in accounts (NetworkService, etc), and under admin user accounts to no avail.
This didn't occur with the previous version of our application which used .net 3.5.As mentioned, we are not using the Reportviewer control, we are rendering locally. Not certain if that would make a difference.
Also, I had tried using all the built-in accounts. Just for kicks I changed it to LocalSystem again, then reset IIS (see image below). I then tried to export the report in a worker thread and received the same error.
Here is the text from the exception:

Object Open Error while trying to export the vDataFact table
I am getting an error when trying to export the vDataFact table to a flat file. I have been able to do this several time before with the segment tables but would like to run this against vDataFact
The error in the error log is:
ERROR:
Code............ -2147217915
Description..... Object was open.
The screen error is:
The connection cannot be used to perform this operation. It is either closed or invalid in this context.
The line that appears to cause the issue is: Set rssql = API.DataWindow.DataAccess.farsKeySet(CStr(strSQL))
Here is my complete script:
Sub webdatafacts()
'Declare Variables
Dim objFileSystem 'File System
Dim strFileName 'File name
Dim ObjTextFile
'SQL variables
Dim strSQL ' Placehold for SQL Query
Dim rssql 'Placeholder for result set for sql query execution
'SQL Statement
strSQL = "SELECT PartitionKey, Account, AccountX, Entity, EntityX, ICP, ICPX, UD1, UD1X, UD2, UD2X, UD3, UD3X, UD4, UD4X, Amount FROM vDataFact"
set rsSQL = DW.DataAccess.farsFireHose(strSQL,False)
'Create the filesystem object
Set objFileSystem = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set ObjTextFile = objFileSystem.OpenTextFile(DW.Connection.PstrDirInbox & "\VDataFactExport.txt", 2, TRUE, 0)
ObjTextFile.Close
If Not rssql.EOF and Not rssql.BOF Then
Set objTextFile = objFileSystem.OpenTextFile(DW.Connection.PstrDirInbox & "\VDataFactExport.txt", 2, FALSE, 0)
Do Until rssql.EOF
'Loop across all fields in recordset delimiting them with a tab key
For i = 0 To rssql.Fields.Count -1
strString = StrString & rssql(i) & vbTab
Next
'Output the resulting string to the text file
ObjTextFile.WriteLine (strString)
'Reset the string to empty for the next record
strString = ""
'Move to the next record in the recordset
rssql.MoveNext
Loop
'Close the recordset and the text file
rssql.Close
ObjTextFile.Close
End If
'Destroy the instance of the recordset from memory
Set rssql = Nothing
End SubThanks, that was one of my suspicions, however, i was able to get the script to work by changing:
set rsSQL = DW.DataAccess.farsFireHose(strSQL,False)
to
set rsSQL = DW.DataAccess.farsFireHose(strSQL,True)
...to be honest though, i'm not entirely sure why that fixed my issue -
Exporting discoverer report into pdf
Dear All,
I am having a requirement, when I am export discoverer report to pdf it has to display all column in one page but now I am getting 4 columns in one page next columns are displaying in next page. Total I am having 20 columns how can I display all column in pdf.
Please anyone help me
Thanks in advancePlease re-post if this is still an issue to the .NET Development - Crystal Reports Forum or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with your directly.
Is there a reason why you need that much data in a one report? It will take a long time to load or browse around. I suggest you make these reports smaller for your users. -
Team I am trying to export a dataset as a excel spreadsheet on to my local drive. when I ever I try to run the Export I am getting error.connection.externaldatasource error message.
Even I tried creating a excel file in my local and point that file in EDQ - Data Stores connection , still getting the same error message.
Please help.
Thanks!
BGAlso useful to understand:
- Is it a server-side or client-side data store?
- Is it an XLS or an XLSX file you are trying to write?
- What's the data volume? -
Error while trying to export data from Solution Manager 3.1
Hello, when trying to export a project via SOLAR_MIGRATION in Solution Manager 3.1, I get the following error when trying to release the transport:
COMMUNICATION_FAILURE for RFC call SCMS_CONT_EXPORT (destination SAPKPROTP): / RfcExecProg: SAP0451.
Error in calling KPro transport server
Has anyone experienced this or have an idea how to reslove it? I opened a message through OSS and received this feedback:
sapkprotp is not available for AS/400.
In your case, sapkprotp must be started on the SAP Content Server.
sapkprotp must then be started via a SAP Gateway connection.
Please change the RFC destination of SAPKPROTP so that
the program must be started on your SAP Gateway on the content server
computer.
We currently don't have a Content Server and I would like to be able to export this project without having to install a new application on a Windows server. I would appreciate any insight you may have into this. Thank you.
~TJIf you don't have one already create a gateway instance on your Content Server.
Change or create the RFC destination : SAPKPROTP type = T
Check the radio button to start on Expicit Host
Enter the program = c:\winnt\sapkprotp.exe
Enter target host - use the hostname of the server for your Content Server
Enter the Gateway information

Error while trying to schedule a report
Dear all,
I was trying to schedual a report and I got the following error:
ORA-04063: pakage body "EUL_TEST.EUL5_BATCH_USER" has errors
ORA-06508: PL\SQL: could not find program unit being called "EUL_TEST.EUL5_BATCH_USER"

I tried to compile the package to check the errors I got those errors:
PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored
PL/SQL: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
It seems to be a priviledges problem ... am I right?
can you tell me what are the required privilidges to schedule a worksheet
Best of Regards,
ShaimaaHi Shaimaa
First of all I'm delighted that the scheduling itself is now working.
In reply to your other concern regarding lost database connections when attempting to open the scheduled results, a couple of things come to mind.
Firstly, what version of the application server are you using?
Have you raised a service request with Oracle? If so, can you tell me what they said.
Have you recently upgraded to 10.1.2.2 by any chance? If so, you definitely need to be aware that a new preference has come into play which could muck things up. The clue is to look at the SQL that Discoverer is generating. Do you see a line at the top of the code saying NOREWRITE? If so, we need to stop this by doing the following:
1. Add the following parameter to the preference file in the c:/oracle/BIHome_1/discoverer/util/pref.txt under the [Database] section
UseNoRewriteHint = 0
Note: the preference is all one phrase with upper case characters at the beginning of each word
2. The beginning of the section should look like this:
[Database]
UseNoRewriteHint = 0 # speeds performance and stops lost connections
3. Double click the applypreferences.bat or run applypreferences.sh (if on Unix or Linux) to save the changes.
4. Restart the Discoverer services and test.
The next thing that comes to mind is hidden Group Sorts. I've recently had a situation where these can cause a loss of database connections. Do you have any of these in the offerning workbook?
Mull over the above and let me know your findings.

Getting "Could not Import Universe" error while trying to refresh a Report
Hi,
When we are trying to refresh a report in ZABO in production environment, we are getting an error "Could not import universe".
We are able to import all other universes and refresh all other reports thru ZABO.
Even these reports that are dependent on this universe are getting refreshed in Infoview and Full client. We are continuously facing this issue in ZABO.
We tried the following steps but it did not fix the problem.
1) Go to Tools -> Universes; Select the Universe to be imported and click on "Import" - Result: An error stating "Cannot find Universe".
Click on "Refresh" button and then on "Import" again.
Still the same error " Cannot find Universe"
2) Click on "Data manager" after opening the report. Go to 'Definition' tab -> click on "..." - Result: "Cannot find Universe" error.
3) Go to C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\Business Objects\Business Objects 6.0\lsi\
Take a backup of .rkey and .lsi files of our gateway server and delete them from that location.Then relogin Infoview and ZABO.
4)Go to Internet Options -> Temporary File Settings -> View Objects.
Delete RptViewerAX class and ZaboCheckandRunControl class and relogin infoview and ZABO.
5) Tried creating a new Document based on that Universe.
6)Publish the universe with a different name and try creating a report based on that.
None of these trials worked out. Please help us to fix this issue.
Note: Our Production environment is reverse proxy enabled that has a time out set to 15 mins at webintelligence level. The Error is being observed with in 2 mins from the refresh process started.
Regards
ChaitanyaHi,
Go to CMC, and check the path in file store where this Universe is stored.
Follow this path and check if this universe is present there.
If you have a local copy, you could open and export this by changing the name and try re-pointint one of the reports.
If it works, you could delete the original and rename it to the original Universe.

"General error" while trying to export my movie.
Hi all, I saw a few threads with this topic but no one seems to have a solution so I thought I would post a new one hoping for a miracle
I have a small movie that I made that I want to export with "using quicktime conversion" option. As soon as I rename the title and choose a destination, I get the "General Error" message that pops up with no number or error code attached to it. I tried saving the file to different hard drives with a lot of space to spare and still won't work. I also did the "render all" option before trying to export my movie. BTW, I'm only at around 11 minutes of movie and my whole project should be about 2 hours...
Also, I chose the correct AVCHD 1920 X 1080 codec since my original data comes from my Canon HF200.
When i was only a few minutes into my project, I did a test film and I managed to export it but had no sound when playing the test movie on my WDTV (that's another problem though) but now it won't even export at all... Any ideas?
Thanks,
RobA couple things to try:
1. Decrease the amount of RAM allowed to the application and see if it was a problem with the OS not having enough to function.
2. Basic troubleshooting procedure, trashing preferences and repairing permissions:

I am using Windows 7 with photoshop cs5 on a PC. When i try and export an image to my canon printer I get a popup telling me that an "internal error has occured". What is wierd is everything was fine before and have used it a bunch of times then all of a sudden it stopped. I have tryed to unistall photoshop then reinstall and everything. I am trying to export to a canon plugin so i can print from photoshop. Any one have any ideas on how to fix this problem. I am extremely frustrated. Thanks
JoshChris,
Yes that is all that pops up. Its really weird. When i export it gets about half way on the progress bar then a little box pops up saying " An Internal Error..." I don't remember all the words but it is less than 5 words. Never thought it could be the plugin. How do you delete a plug in that was installed on photoshop? Thanks

You can try to bump streams_pool_size to 100M if your current setting is below that.
