Error while executing Crystal report in client computers

I got this error message -2147206460 Crystal Reports Activex Designer invalid directory. any idea guys how can i fix this. I tried using Crystal Report viewer in the server and its working perfectly.
thanks

is your report working on SAP from server machine or it only works on Crystal Report on server machine
IF your report is working on SAP server then, the problem is on sharing the .rpt file with client
Place the .rpt file in shared folder whichi is accessable from all the clients then use that .rpt file in SAP CR addon and update it
updating the path from each client system SAP towards shared .rpt file
do you have any firewall installed, try disabling within your network and check
This should Fix your problem
make sure the printer is shared and correct printer is set as default printer
if possible give a test print page from client to make sure the printer is online

Duplicate Object Name Error When Publishing Crystal Reports from BW to BOE

Hi,
We recently upgraded our systems (all client and server) to SP2.7 in order to solve a problem with saving Crystal Reports to BW. Now we are experiencing a new error when trying to publish a Crystal Report from BW to BOE (either all in one step from Crystal Reports application or directly from within BW).
Upon trying to publish a Crystal Report from BW to BOE, we get the following error:
"An error occurred while saving and / or publishing. The return code 1 was returned from the server. Logon to Crystal Enterprise failed. Unable to commit the changes to Enterprise. Reason: Failed to commit objects to server : Duplicate object name in the same folder."
We have repeated this issue numerous time with different reports, users and logon credentials and have verified that there are NOT any duplicate object names.
Additionally, in some cases, the report ultimately publishes to BOE, but with the above error interruption along the way.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Josh

Ingo,
Apologies for the delayed response. We've spent a few days poking around with this issue, and had even opened a customer message for it (13641).
In the end, it seems that the problem was somehow associated with the "Prepare this report for translation." flag in the "Save to BW Options" dialog box of Crystal Reports. If we try to Save & Publish with the Translation flag selected, we get the duplicate entry error. If we Save & Publish without the Translation flag selected, everything is fine.
There are still some details we need to look into, but for the time being it looks like we don't have an issue anymore(assuming we ever did) as we're not concerned with Translation capabilities.
If we come across the problem again, I'll post again.
Thanks,
Josh

Cannot refresh a stored procedure within a Crystal Report from Xcelsius

Please help...Xcelsius 2008 & Live Office problem...
What I am trying to do is to refresh a stored procedure that is within a Crystal report from within my Xcelsius dashboard in Preview mode. The data returned appears on the Xcelsius dashboard. It works fine in Design mode, just not in Preview or when published as a swf.
1. I set up a Crystal Report using a Stored Procedure as the data provider.
2. The Stored Procedure has a parameter built into it.
3. When the report is refreshed within Crystal, the prompt dialog box is displayed; I fill in the desired value, and run. Everything comes back fine.
4. Crystal Report is exported to the repository.
5. In Excel, I inserted the Crystal Report using Live Office. It shows up as a Live Office object just fine.
6. I bound an Excel cell to the prompt; when you change the value in the bound cell, the Live Office object refreshes and displays the correct results.
7. In Xcelsius, I imported the Excel spreadsheet.
8. I set up a Text component that is bound to the cell containing the parameter value. Also set up a Grid to display the results, and a Connection Refresh button to call the refresh. Added a Live Office Data Connection pointing to the Web Service URL for the report.
Note: When in Designer mode, if the value of the bound cell is changed, the results in the grid change accordingly.
9. When in Preview mode (or generated swf), if the Refresh button is pressed, a "User Identification" dialog box appears asking me to log on. The values it asks for are: System, User Name, Password, and Authentication. I enter the same credentials as are within the Live Office settings in Excel, (which are working correctly), but receive an error "soapenv:Server.generalException: Database logon failed.".
Note - all the id's are synced up - Business Objects, Database, etc.
I've tried all kinds of combinations, but nothing gets me past this error. If I use any other server than the one listed under System in Live Office, the error message is "soapenv:Server.generalException: Server XXXXX not found or server may be down".
I've noticed that in Excel directly, when I open the spreadsheet and refresh the Live Office object, I am prompted to log on to the database where the stored procedure is being executed. This dialog box does not appear once the Excel sheet has been imported into Xcelsius. One of the combinations I tried in the "User Identification" dialog box was the name of the database server, that didn't work either.
I also tried creating the Live Office object directly within the Excel spreadsheet in Xcelsius, but then I was unable to bind the prompt value. Could never get the Live Office/Properties menu to appear.
Ideas? Thoughts?
Thanks in advance!
Stephanie

Problem opening Crystal Report from SAP GUI through VPN

Hi Everyone,
I am facing an issue with opening the crystal report from SAP BW Role menu(SAP GUI). The issue is only with the BW Users who are connecting to the Client systems through VPN. All the settings are done perfectly in the Transaction /CRYSTAL/RPTADMIN and SICF for the CE_URL.
For those who are in the client network it works fine. Please see the URLs generated in both the cases,below.
From Client N/W
[http://sapbobj:8080/SAP/jsp/Action_Dispatch/dispatch.jsp?sap_client=100&cmsname=sapbobj:6400&language=EN&sap_sysid=D40&bw_id=4HUFYJ3XBZ7QLP5HIDYPR7PR6&sap-client=100&actionName=SAP_CrystalReport_View&appKind=InfoView&service=%2FInfoViewApp%2Fcommon%2FappService.do&loc=&initialFolderId=null]
Through VPN
[http://sapbwd.abc.com:8100/sap/bw/ce_url?(ce_protcl):(DS)(ce_server)/(ce_path_pr)/viewreport.csp(Q)bw_id=4HUPI3I78CG4S4EDH7XSDP736&sap_sysid=(sysid)&sap_client=100&language=EN&sap-client=100]
where "sapbobj" is the BOBJ system and "sapbwd" is the SAP BW Dev box.
For me it seems to be something related to the N/W. Please provide me your valuable inputs to solve this issue.
Thanks in Advance,
Koka M

Scheduling Crystal report from BOE

Hi,
I have a Crystal report (based on ECC Function module) which doesn't retrieve data when I schedule it from BOE (infoview).
I have Integration kit installed, and the crystal report works fine when i execute it manually.
I think it is an issue with connectivity/authentication or something. I don't have a service user id created. (to run the Crystal report i use my ECC user id which has authorization to S_RFC etc)
Can you tell me the steps that i need to follow before i am able to run my ECC crystal report from BOE/infoview?
Thanks, Arka

Hi,
the user that is scheduling the report needs to have the same authorization like viewing the report. you can also see the list of detailed authorizations required in the documentation for the SAP Integration Kit in the chapter authorizations.
all product documentation is available on help.sap.com

Need help in RFP - Migration Estimates for Crystal Reports from BI 3.1 to 4.1

Hi,
I have to migrate 100 crystal reports from BI 3.1 to 4.1. The reports vary from simple to complex in terms of complexity.
I want to know the time estimates (no. of hours/report) for the above upgradation for a client proposal.
What all parameters should i mention in the proposal?
Thanks

You don't actually have to upgrade the reports to a newer version of Crystal in order to migrate them from BO 3.1 to BI 4.1 and have them work. BI 4.1 will work correctly with Crystal Reports that have been created in Crystal XI r2 and higher. The inner structure of the .rpt file is essentially the same, with new things being added when new features from the newer versions are used.
Some things to remember when migrating Crystal reports using the Upgrade Management Tool (based on my experience migrating a number of clients from 3.1 to 4.x):
1. If the reports were saved with a specific printer, make sure that the printer has been configured on the BI 4.1 server. In 3.1 this was not an issue, but there's a change in printer processing in the newer versions of Windows Server where BI 4.1 will run that cause errors/warnings in the migration of these reports.
2. If your reports use ODBC connections, make sure that ALL of the required connections have been created prior to migration. Even though BI 4.1 is 64-bit software, the Crystal "servers" are still 32-bit, so they require 32-bit connections. If you're connecting to MS SQL Server, make sure you use SQL Server Native Connection 10.0 or 11.0 for these connections.
3. If you have Dynamic Parameters and you've had to make any changes to which DB drivers are used - even if it's in an ODBC connection that has the same name as the old system, be aware that you'll have to create new data connections that use the new ODBC connections or drivers and then point the data foundations to the new data connections - otherwise your dynamic parameters won't work.

Look and feel discrepency after migrating Crystal Reports from XIR2 to XIR3

Hi,
We are migrating Crystal Reports from XIR2 to XIR3. If the report is designed in Crystal client by inserting a subreport it does not come well in web viewer(Infoview). If I do not use subreports then the view is same (both in web viewer & windows client preview).
Could you please let me know, what could be the problem and how to resolve this?
Your valuable time and solution is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Mohan

Hello,
What happen if you use the web java viewer instead of web viewer? (you can change it in the preferences options)
Otherwise, when you say "it does not come well", what do you mean?
Thanks

View discrepency while migrating Crystal Reports from XIR2 to XIR3

Hi,

It's urgent. Your valuable time and solution is much appreciated.

I moved your thread to the " .NET - SAP Crystal Reports" forum, assuming this is in a .NET app(?)
Unfortunately, the description:
" does not come well in web viewer"
is somewhat "loose". Perhaps inserting a link to a screenshot(s) that demo the issue will be a good idea?
Also, if my assumption is correct:
1) What version of .NET?
2) What is the exact version of CR? (In CR designer go to Help | About)
3) What browser?
4) Does this work on you dev system?

Is it possible to call a Crystal Report from Oracle Forms.

Hi Everybody,
I got a Dout about Crystal Reports. Is it possible to call Crystal Reports from Oracle Forms.

Hello,
That depends are you running Forms via the WEB or client/server. I will assume you are running client/server since you are running crystal reports. The answer is yes. All you will have to do is use the HOST command or the win_api_shell to run the report. Look in the Forms manual for information on the commands and what else you may need.

Upgradation of Crystal reports from 7.0 to 11.0

Upgradation of Crystal reports from 7.0 to 11.0I have reports created in CR 7.0 which need to upgraded to CR XI. These upgraded reports are accessed though an application developed in VC++. To view the report created in CR 7.0, i have used PDSODBC.DLL and CRPE32.DLL. What DLLs should be used for the upgraded reports.Thanks in advanceRajkumar S

It will take more than just the .dll files - there are MAJOR changes in the object model when you move to XI.Â You'll want to check the samples in the Developer Library (the link is in the menu above...)Â
Click on "Viewers SDK", "Developer Guides and API Reference", and "COMÂ developerÂ guideÂ andÂ APIÂ reference" for documentation.Â There is also a "Samples" link.Â I haven't found specific C++ examples, but there are ASP and Java examples that you can work from.

Unablo to open Crystal report from infoview

Hello Experts,
I have an issue while opening crystal report from BOBJ Infoview.
The report opens for some users and some users are getting this error.
" Internal error. Please contact your system administrator. [RCIRAS0216] ", the report is based on bw query and the users has access to this query,the users are able to execute other report based on same query.
Even some users who are administrator group members are getting this error.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Kish

It happens to only one report,but when i changed the option to "Use same database logon when report is run" in CMC, it resolved the issue.
But i was wondering why the report encountered this error for the same user for whom it was working good in the past.
Thanks,
Sai

Error while executing a report from Planning

Hi,
I've got this error message when I execute a report from Hyperion Planning (web) :
"5200: Error executing query. [1106] Error : Class component property name invalid[DataType]"
Can you help me please ?
Thanks.
Virgile.

I am not sure about it. But i remember once running into a similar issue where i made some changes in the metadata or outline and few members were dropped from the hierarchy and it came up with this error at the time of running
the report as my report was still trying to query the dropped members. But u said you have already checked and all your members are valid on the report. Is this happening with all the reports or just one. If its all the reports i would
restart the BI+ reporting services and then try to run the reports!

Can't view Crystal Reports from BW

Hi,
I'm installing SAP Integration Kit XI 3.1 SP3 with IIS. I am able to publish reports from BW to BOE but not able view them from BW. I followed the documentation to use report/report_view.aspx to define the viewer application in Content Administration Workbench. But it is giving me a "The page cannot be found" error when I try to view Crystal Reports from BW. I tried looking for the file report/report.aspx but cannot find it. I was able to locate the file in SAP_CrystalReport_View/report_view.aspx. I repointed the system to this path but it still giving me the same error.
Anybody here encountered this before?
Thanks,
Elijah

Hi Ingo,
- has the report being saved to BW and then published to BusinessObjects enterprise ?
    Yes, the report is being published from BW to BOE successfully.
- did you import the ABAP Transports to the BW system ?
    I imported all the transports that came with the Integration Kit. I'm not sure if the ABAP transport is one of them.
- has the viewing service in transaction SICF been configured ?
    Yes, the top entry in the handler list is /CRYSTAL/CL_BW_HTTP_HANDLER.
I did notice that the BW system is on a different subdomain than the web application server. For example,
   BW system        - bw01.us.mydomain.com
   BOE web server -   boweb.mydomain.com
Would that affect the single sign on?
