Export with crystal reports as web service

In order to create 3 tier architecture for security enhancments, I am using crystal feature to publish report as web service. As far displaying these reports on viewer is concerned, I have got that part working by setting the datasource to asmx and then using the viewer to set the parameters and logon information.
However currently I also have export button on the UI which basically used the ReportDocument and wrote the excel to Http stream. And this is the part where I am now struggling with crystal as web service as it does not expose ReportDocument. I have scanned all forums and have been googling for a while but reaching nowhere.
Please help if someone has already dealt with similar problem.
Thank you.

I don't think you will be able to do this from the button. Reason is that the web service only works with the viewer and there is are no exposed export API associated with the viewer. The only export APIs are based off of the report document object.

Invalid export DLL or export format when export with Crystal Reports 2008

Hi,
     We have an serious issue while exporting the crystal report into excel. We are able to export into all type in our development environment. But when we tried to export from our server all exports working except the excel. However when we restart the IIS the excel export also working for sometimes and again we are facing the same problem.
Development environment:
.Net 2008
Crystal report 2008
SQL Server 2008
+Server Environment:+
IIS7.0 in Classical mode
Crystal report 2008 runtime without any SP
    We chosen Classical mode to avoid the error 'an error occurred on the server. printing will be stopped' after a successful print. It is an known issue and I'm curious to know is there any fix available to resolve this issue. Because we prefer Integrated mode.
    Earlier we dont face the excel export problem and we encountered after the SP3 installation. So we uninstalled it from server and we just installed only the run-time. But still we are facing the same problem. we could not able to conclude the cause of this issue because classical mode may create this issue?
This is a very critical issue to us, so if anyone has the solution please help me.
Thanks

Hello,
Not clear, did you mean when you install SP 3 it worked?
Use Process Monitor or Fiddler to see what is failing. With out an error message or any other error from IIS logs or Event Viewer logs anything could be the cause.
Thank you

SQL 2012 R2 - SSRS with the Report Server Web Service URL, can't access

Hello:
I am installing Dynamics CRM 2013. When I am on RS Configuration manager; I am running into the SSRS (SQL 2012 on Server 2012)SQL issue, can't access the
http://servername/:80/ReportsServer or
http://servername/:Reports web pages
The database server has SSRS native mode installed, it is using a domain account for the service credentials. This account also has permission to log on a service in the GPO
Account is a domain admin and is a local administrator
SQL server is 2012 R2 on Windows Server 2012. User base is less than 60 people and they have SharePoint 13 on the same SQL server. Server more than enough resources.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks..Dan

Hi DCas1,
According to your description, you could not access
http://servername/:80/ReportsServer or http://servername/:Reports web pages from Reporting Services configuration manager, SSRS in configured in native mode and the account you used is a local administrator.
In Reporting Services, URLs are used to access the Report Server Web service and Report Manager. Before we can use either application, we need to configure at least one URL each for the Web service and Report Manager. If we are using the Reporting Services
Configuration tool to create or modify the URLs, we can accept the default values for a URL or specify custom values. When we create a report server URL, we must specify the following parts: Host name, port and Virtual directory. In order to improve the efficiency
of troubleshooting, I need to ask several questions:
Since the default URL is http://<computername>/reportserver, did you type the URLs manually? or the URLs configured in Reporting Services configuration manager are
http://servername/:80/ReportServer and
http://servername/:Reports?
Could you provide detailed information of error log(default location: %programfiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS11.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\LogFiles)?
For more information about Configuring a URL, please refer to the following documents:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159261(v=sql.110).aspx

Integration with a Reporting Engine Web Service

I want to use a separate reporting engine for my reports. That is, use APEX to perform the filtering and parameter settings and preview the result in APEX. But the final formatted output will use a more complex layout. Sorry, cannot use BI Publisher or PL/PDF (license issues). Other FOP solution isn't sufficient as well because I'm planning to centralized our reports.
I already tried using Jasper Reports (also BIRT and Pentaho,they seem identical to me) Web Service but with no luck. I don't want to invest too much time in learning these tools since I don't know if it will ever work with APEX.
We do have SQL Server 2005 but I'm currently learning its reporting services. I'm a MS Access developer and already have enough of it. Anybody got a suggestion?
Thanks

Hi Mertz,
Well you have to bear in mind that Oracle have made it incredibly simple to integrate APEX with BIP to produce some visually stunning reports that contain data that can be pretty complex.
However...obviously you need to stump up the money for BIP to get that level of ease/functionality.
So, what you're really asking is: is there a way I can produce output just as complex as BIP without the price tag of BIP?
If that's the question the answer is definitely yes, you can use FOP. Anything you can do using BIP (and the BIP Desktop) tool you can do with FOP (or pretty much everything, I haven't found any real big exceptions to the rule).
However, the 'price' you pay with FOP is that it's another layer that you need to learn about (unlike diving into the BIP desktop plugins to design your form). However you do get complete control over the layout of your exports.

Encapsulation Error in Crystal Reports using Web Service Connection

Hi Experts,
I'd like to request help in investigating an issue we are currently having in Crystal Reports. Basically, the solution design is:
-Web Service is Used as connection
-Dynamic Hyperlink value is used to access another Crystal Report
Issue: Dynamic Hyperlink value is based on a summary. We are getting Encapsulation Error message whenever we try to click a link having 30k value.
Does anyone here can give us some tip on how to investigate the issue? For such cases, which component (datasource, CR, etc.) of the solution normally causes the issue? Are there any limitation in using Web Service for Crystal Reports?
We'd greately appreciate any help here.
Kind Regards and Many Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,
There could be many reasons for this rather 'generic' error. Is the Business Objects Enterprise clustered?
Also, could you try saving both the Main and the target reports to the Enterprise with the 'No printer' option checked.
(File > Page Setup> No Printer).
Also, what happens when the target report is viewed on its own?
Let me know how it goes!

Crystal reports and web services

Do crystal report and xcelcius need webservices?

No, they don't 'need' web services. Xcelsius uses Excel for it's data and you can use web services to load the Excel model with data, but it is not required. CR has a variety of data connection options.
Web services is a popular method of retrieving the most up-to-date data, but is not a requirement.
Hope that helps,
Jake

Running Crystal Report through web service

We are trying to build a solution using Java, which will give access of Crystal reports to users. We are trying to access using the Web Services provided by BO XI server.
I need help with couple of issues I'm facing with the consumer API -
1. When a search is performed and reports/documents are found, how to get the path (parent folder(s)) of that document?
2. How to run a report? I've tried schedule (method of BIPlatform) with 'RightNow' property (of SchedulingInfo object) to true, but it throws exception 'Pause and Resume isnt allowed'. But through CMC I can run the report on demand.

Just to give more info on what I'm doing in my code -
I'm searching for a report with it's name. Search is performed by BICatalog web service's search operation. It returns an array of BICatalogObject. Now I'm unable to find a method to get the path info of these objects. I see there's a class named PathFolder in API javadoc, but cant find a method of BICatalogObject that can return such objects.
Can anyone help me out with this?

"Invalid export DLL or export format" with Crystal Reports 2008

I've included this sticky because we are seeing many posts in this forum regarding the error Invalid export DLL or export format when exporting to Excel and RTF in .NET applications using the Crystal Reports 2008 .NET SDK.
Issue
- Exporting a Crystal Report to Excel or RTF format
- .NET application using the Crystal Reports 2008 runtime (version 12.0)
- error Invalid export DLL or export format
We've been doing some testing in-house and haven't reproduced this behavior. In order to figure this issue out we will need your help. If you are getting this error please reply to this post with the following information:
- Server Operating System
- Version of the .NET Framework
- How did you deploy?
- If you deployed with CRRuntime_12_0_mlb.msi - what was the date of the file and its size?
- What is the file version of crpe32.dll on your server? You'll find this in the C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 directory
- How many libpng10.dll files are on your system? List all instances.
- Any additional comments
What We Know
- The error invalid export DLL or export format may occur when exporting to Excel and RTF formats in .NET applications utilizing the Crystal Reports 2008 runtime (v 12.0)
- Other export formats like Adobe PDF, Crystal Reports, CSV all export with no error
- Some customers have resolved this by adding C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 to their environment path variables. Note the system must be restarted after editing the path variable.
- This may have something to do with the file libpng10.dll. Both crxf_xls.dll and crxf_rtf.dll are dependent on it.
- libpng10.dll has changed versions from SP0 to SP1. In SP0 it was 1.0.30.0 and in SP1 it is 1.0.30.1
libpng10.dll dependencies
The dependencies have also been updated for libpng10.dll in service pack 1. This may have something to do with the export issue. If you've deployed your application with the latest merge modules or setup package for service pack 1 you'll want to make sure you have version 1.0.30.1 of libpng10.dll.
Version 1.0.30.0
- zlib.dll
- msvcr71.dll
- kernel32.dll
Version 1.0.30.1
- boezlib.dll
- msvcr80.dll
- kernel32.dll
Thanks in advance for your co-operation. We hope to figure out what is causing this issue soon.

Our company has also been experiencing this issue with deployed versions of our software, and during my examination of the error I have made the following discoveries:
For us the error has only been reproduced on Windows 2003 running Citrix
The error does not occur on Windows XP, Windows 2003 or Vista without Citrix
For installation of our application we use the CRRuntime_12_0.msm merge module (version 12.0.0.683, file size 46790KB)
As mentioned in the first post this error is related to the files crxf_rtf.dll and cfxf_xls.dll being unable to locate its reference to the file libpng10.dll during load.
I have run the application with ProcMon (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx) attached on both environments that work correctly and that does not work and iIve made these observations:
During load of dlls Windows searches for references in the following orders (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682586.aspx):
1. The directory from which the application loaded.
2. The system directory.
3. The 16-bit system directory.
4. The Windows directory.
5. The current directory.
6. The directories that are listed in the PATH environment variable.
Looking at the ProcMon log for the environment where it works correctly (Windows XP, no Citrix) it looks like this . Numbers represent the search order mentioned above:
Load Image     C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\crxf_rtf.dll     SUCCESS     Image Base: 0x3e640000, Image Size: 0x79000
(1) QueryOpen     C:\Program Files\<our application name>\libpng10.dll     NAME NOT FOUND
(2) QueryOpen     C:\WINDOWS\system32\libpng10.dll     NAME NOT FOUND
(3) QueryOpen     C:\WINDOWS\system\libpng10.dll     NAME NOT FOUND
(4) QueryOpen     C:\WINDOWS\libpng10.dll     NAME NOT FOUND
(5) QueryOpen     C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\libpng10.dll     SUCCESS      ...
So you can see it finds the file in the "current directory"
Now, from the environment where it does not work (Windows 2003 Server / Citrix):
Load Image     X:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\crxf_rtf.dll     SUCCESS     Image Base: 0x3e640000, Image Size: 0x79000
(1) QueryOpen     X:\Program Files\<our application name>\libpng10.dll     NAME NOT FOUND
(2) QueryOpen     X:\WINDOWS\system32\libpng10.dll     NAME NOT FOUND
(3) QueryOpen     X:\WINDOWS\system\libpng10.dll     NAME NOT FOUND
(4) QueryOpen     X:\WINDOWS\libpng10.dll     NAME NOT FOUND
(5) QueryOpen     X:\Documents and Settings\<my user name>\WINDOWS\libpng10.dll     NAME NOT FOUND
(6) QueryOpen     ... loops trough all paths in the PATH variable, finding nothing
As you can see somehow the current directory is %USERPROFILE%\WINDOWS and not the Crystal Reports bin path in this environment at the time of loading the dll.
I have yet to discover why this is the case, but i tought i could share what I have found =)
The %USERPROFILE%\WINDOWS folder is not a standard Windows folder, and I think it is used by Citrix for some files (like win.ini)
This also shows why adding the bin folder to the PATH variable is a valid workaround for some, but for us this is not really a good solution as we need this to work out of our installer. We don't always have consultants do the installations for the customers and we cannot expect them to manually edit the PATH variable, and we don't want to add to the PATH variable in the installer unless this is the only way...
So, I hope this maybe can bring you closer to being able to reproduce it. I'm still looking into it, will post more if I find something else interesting

What is the file version of crpe32.dll on your server? You'll find this in the C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 directory - File was created 9/13/08 11:21AM, 9451KB File Version: 12.1.0.882
How many libpng10.dll files are on your system? List all instances. - 1 instance is on the system located in C;\Program Files\Business Objects\Business Objects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 directory. It is dated 9/13/08 8:52:26AM 132KB version 1.0.30.1
Any additional comments - We have tried to export to PDF and this works successfully. However, we can not export to xls or rft formats.
CRXF_XLS.dll is 905KB 9/13/08 9:38AM Version 12.1.0.882
CRXF_RTF.dll is 509KB 9/13/08 9:35AM Version 12.1.0.882
We also have the CR XIR2 server runtime installed side by side on the server as we migrate from CR 2008 to CR XIR2 SP4 ( where this function does work currently).
Please let me know if you need anything additional.

Hi,
I am also having the same problem, except that I am not using Crystal Report 2008 runtime but the actual Crystal Report 2008 installation on Windows XP SP2 with VS Studio 2005 (VC++). MS .NET Framework 2.0.
Cyrstal Report XIR2 was installed on the same machine but uninstalled before installing Crystal Report 2008.
So only one instance of libpng10.dll and found in C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86
Crpe32.dll        3/1/2008 version 12.0.0.683
Crxf_xls.dll       3/1/2008 version 12.0.0.683
Crxf_rtf.dll         3/1/2008 version 12.0.0.683
crdb_oracle.dll 3/1/2008 version 12.0.0.683
libpng10.dll       3/1/2008 version 1.0.30.0             122880 bytes
There is no problem for exporting to pdf, html, word, csv, Crystal Report. If I create a testing report without any data from database, the testing report can then be exported also to rtf and xls.
Oracle 11.1.0.6 is the DB for the reports.
Adding C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 to the path did not resolve my problem.
Any idea to fix this issue?
Thanks

Export Arabic Crystal Report To PDF

Hi,
I am using JRC component to build crystal reports in English & Arabic. All works well except exporting Arabic crystal report to PDF?
Crystal File Format Schema: 12.0.0
I was reading another 3 years old thread and this was stated there:
"If you are using the Java Reporting Component, you will not be able to see Arabic characters in your PDF document because the JRC does not support font embedding, and only works with a specific character set when exporting to Adobe" Any from SAP can you please confirm that does this still hold true? And are there any chances or plan to add support in future?
Regards
SC

Please disregard that part of the previous message.
As mentioned earlier, it depends on which of our products you are using to export the report. If you are using the Java Reporting Component, you will not be able to see Arabic characters in your PDF document because the JRC does not support font embedding, and only works with a specific character set when exporting to Adobe.
If you are using the Crystal Reports designer or BusinessObjects Enterprise SDK to export the report, you will need to ensure you have the character set installed on the same machine; for BOE SDK it needs to be on the machine with all of the services.

How to create cross tab reports using RAS SDK api with Crystal Reports XI

Hi Everybody,
Iam generating reports in a web-based application with Crystal Reports XI using Report Application Server(RAS) SDK API. The columns in my report exceed that of an A4 sized page. So, when I export that report to pdf, only those columns that fit to a page are showing up. To solve, this problem, I thought of using cross tab. But, I donot know how to generate cross tab report using RAS SDK API. I have tried to get some code from the internet. But, I did not find any java code for that.Can some one give me some sample code.It is very urgent.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
The easiest way I use is to create the worksheet as regular table and then when i verify the data I get (non aggregate) I duplicate it as a cross tab.
In the duplication wizard I just need to define the axis (using drag and drop).
if you want to create a cross tab from the beginning you need to define that in the new workbook wizard (check the "cross tab" rather then "table"), chose your fields and define the place you want them.
The data point (the center of the cross tab) is aggregated as to your machine definition and will happen automatically.
for example: to find the amount of receipt by months:
On the left put the "Buyer Name", on top put the "Months" and in the data point put the amount.
What you'll get is something like:
months: jan feb mar apr ......
buyer_name
jhon_smith 100 50 30 250 ......
jhon_doe 80 45 90 453 ........
and so on.....

Exporting a crystal report as PDF and Attaching to an email via code - Filename Issuses?

I need to export a crystal report as a pdf and send it out via email. I have created a subroutine that works but the attached filename come up as "untitled.txt" so the receiving machine believes it is a text file.

Transport Webi Reports and Web services as the backend of dashboards from BO Production to BO Development system

Hello Experts,
I am working on SAP BO 4.1. I have made several dashboards on top of web services ie;Web Service Method. I have 2 systems in BO ie; Development and Production Systems.The BW production system is connected to BO Development and Production both.
The Webi reports are made on top of BI BEx Query. From the webi reports, BI Web Services are made on top of which the dashboards are made further.
The Webi Reports, Web Services and the Dashboards everything is made directly in BO Production.
My question is, Can I transport the Webi Reports and the Web Services from BO Production to BO Development?
And If yes, will it have any other impact on webi reports, web services or dashboards?
Thanks & Regards,
Alfred Thomas

Hi Gill,

Is there any way possible that i can transport the webservices and the webi reports usind Query AS A Web Service Designer. And if yes, through this QAAWS will the WSDL or the URL required for the web services in the connection button in dashboards will automatically updated or changed as per the Development System?
But i am not able to enable the "Deploy to Other servers Option" in QAAWS.
Can you please help?

Java Plugin Viewer with Crystal Reports 2008

Hello,
I am trying to use the Java Plugin Viewer with Crystal Reports, but I have some problems. The ActiveX Viewer works well, but as I want to use the reports in other browsers, I need the Java viewer.
I have a Visual Basic 6 application, and, instead of including SmartViewerActiveX.asp, I have included JavaPluginViewer.asp. I have taken this file from an older version of Crystal, and I am changing the values on it (I have done the same with the ActiveX Viewer, without problems). This is the main code of the file:
<OBJECT
    classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93"
    width="100%"
    height="100%"
    codebase="/crystalreportviewers11/JavaPlugin/Win32/j2re-1_4_2_04-windows-i586-p.exe#Version=1,4,0,0">
    <param name=type value="application/x-java-applet;version=1.4">
    <param name=code value="com.crystaldecisions.ReportViewer.ReportViewer">
    <param name=codebase value="/crystalreportviewers11/JavaViewer/">
    <param name=archive value="ReportViewer.jar">
    <param name=Language value="en_US">
    <param name=ReportName value="RDCrptserver11.asp">
    <param name=CanDrillDown value="true">
    <param name=HasExportButton value="true">
    <param name=HasGroupTree value="true">
    <param name=ShowGroupTree value="true">
    <param name=HasPrintButton value="true">
    <param name=HasRefreshButton value="true">
    <param name=HasTextSearchControls value="true">
    <param name=HasZoomControl value="true">
    <param name=HasSearchExpert value="false">
    <param name=HasSelectExpert value="false">
    <param name=ShowLogo value="false">
</OBJECT>
I know how to change all the values of this object so it works with Crystal2008 except one: the codebase.
I have gone to IIS, and under the virtual folder "crystalreportviewers12" I don't see any JavaPlugin folder, there's only the JavaViewer folder, and there isn't any .exe inside...
So, where can I find the .exe for the codebase?
I have tried searching the web for a tutorial or something, but I haven't seen anything for Crystal 2008.
Can anyone help me?
Thank you very much!

This is so wrong, I don't even know which forum this would belong to ( I think I'll move it to the SAP Crystal Reports, version for Eclipse topic Space...
Let's start with this:
I have taken this file from an older version of Crystal,
Don't mix versions. It will not work. Period
Next re:
I don't see any JavaPlugin folder,
If you want a Java solution, I'd recommend using CR for Eclipse which you can download from here:
SAP BusinessObjects - SAP Crystal Reports, Version For Eclipse Download
I would then recommend having a peek here:
CRJ SDK
Developer Help File is here:
https://help.sap.com/javadocs/cr/xi/jrc/en/overview-summary.html
Finally, I'm not sure what references you are making in your VB 6 app, but there is no SDK in CR 2008 that supports VB 6.
