Failed to read parameter object when publish crystal report 11

Hi,
I created a dynamic parameter crystal report and while running in CR (XI) everything works fine.
Once I am trying to publish to server (infoview & business objects) I am getting error message "Failed read data from report... Reason: Failed to read parameter object"
(It works fine and was published sucesfully if I change to static parameter.)
I already try to change 'Edit right' in Business View Manager as other people suggest in other place and I still can't publish it without error.
Please help.

Crystal Report: failed to read parameter object

Hello -
I have a report that consists of numerous static parms and one dynamic parm. I can save the report to my desktop but cannot save it to BO 3.1 CMC Personal Folder (or any folder for that matter).
The dynamic parm does not use a LOV based on Business Views. A table associated with the same data source as the stored proc on which the Report itself is based provides two fields - a code field that is used in the Value and a name field which is used in the Description.
The specific error is:
"Failed to read data from report file <file name> Reason: failed to read parameter object".
All the normal things have been checked -
- VERIFied the database
- Ensured 'No Printer' is checked
- Ran the report (successfully) on the desktop (locally)
The data source is Oracle. The report can be saved to the CMC and run without problem if the dynamic parameter is deleted from the report.
The version of Crystal Reports is CR 2008 vers 12.04
I've seen numerous postings regarding LOVs and Business Views, especially surrounding security issues, but I've yet to see a note about a dynamic parameter based on a table....
Thanks

Hi!
Thanks for the response....
Re: check the "Enable Repository Refresh" checkbox
The SAVE failed with the Failed to read data from report file error.
When I went to the Bus View mgr, I found the LOV. It was set as a cascading prompt (not what I wanted when I set the parm) and could not edit it. No permissions.
I went back to the report and tried to edit the parm into which I had stuffed the LOV I can't touch in Bus Views, and found I can't open in the report canvas without logging into the repository.... which I did.... and went to edit the parm...can't open in the report canvas without logging into the repository.... which I did.... and went to edit the parm... You get the idea....
What I had WANTED to do is take a table with 2 fields in it - a NAME and a CODE field, create a dynamic parm, use the CODE field as the Value and the NAME field as a description. When I brought in the LOV, it came in as a cascading LOV... I needed to have the Description as the user fronted piece... but I can't seem to get there from here.....

Failed to Read Parameter Object

We are new working with Crystal Server. I cannot publish any reports that have parameters. I receive an error message that states "Failed to Read Parameter Object". I have tried all 3 methods for publishing reports (using CMC, using the wizard, saving directly from crystal design) and receive the same error message. I have no problems publishing reports that do not have parameters. Thanks for helping resolve this issue.
Regards,
Jeff

Few things to clarify and heck:
- What is the version of CR Reports Server?
- Are your parameters List of Values or just regular text, date parameters?
- Verify that ListofValuesJobServer is up and running in CCM (Central Configuration Manager)
- The best practice for List of Values Paramters is to use Business View Manager.

Failed to read parameter object using Dynamic Parameter

Hi All
In one of my report I am using dynamic parameter, I tried to publish the report in BOXI and got the following error:
"Failed to read data from report file C:DOCUME1...LOCALS1Temp~crw{u2026u2026..-u2026.-u2026.-u2026.-u2026u2026u2026u2026}.rpt. Reason: Failed to read parameter object"
but if I change that to static parameter I am able to publish it.
I am using Crystal Report 2008 Version: 12.1.0.892
Product Type: Full
BO Version: Product: 12.1.0 © 2008 Business Objects
I went thru many forums and came up with some settings while publishing but nothing worked out. And some mentioned about the service packs and fix pack issues. But I am not sure which should be installed in order to make this work for my versions.
Can anyone please suggest, what can be done to publlish a report with dynamic parameter?
Thanks

Failed to read parameter object - error in BO XI server

Hi all,
We have the enterprise edition of Business Objects server XI, which is available in the Solaris 10 machine. We try to upload the rpt file using the Central Management Console Log in, at the time we got the following error.
There was an error while retrieving data from the server: Failed to read data from report file /var/tmp/data_gen_letter.rpt63065d888163420. Reason: Failed to read parameter object.
Can anybodies help me on this, why this error has came.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Vel.

I am facing the same issue. I am using BO XI 3.1 (12.1.0) and CR 2008 (12.2.3.467)
Initially I was getting "Failed to read parameter object"
I found this resolution posted
1. Log on to Business View Manager as administrator.
2. Click View > Repository Explorer.
3. Right-click Dynamic Cascading Prompts. Click Edit Rights.
4. Click the appropriate user or group receiving the error. If the group is not present add them.
5. Click the Granted option for the right to View, Edit & Set Security rights.
6. Click OK. Close Business View Manager.
I did the above steps. When I try to save the CR report the first time, the dynamic prompts get added to the Dynamic cascading prompt list in Buss View Mgr, but the report does not get save to BOE. I get an error
Reason: Unable to launch c:\Program File\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\ReportAdd program to add report to the system
If I try to save the same report to BOE again, it gets saved with any error. SO, the first time I try only the dynamic prompts get saved, the next time the report.
Any help on this please?

Hi,
the problem has to do with the permissions on dynamic prompts. Eventually you can solve this by setting the permissions on the prompts using the Business View Manager. (CrystalBVM.exe: to be found in BOBJ client installations on windows)
Do your report fetch data from an SAP R/3 system?

Error: Failed to open the connection when opening Crystal Report in CMC or

Hello all,
I am getting theError: Failed to open the connection when opening Crystal Report in CMC or Infoview
with access database as the datasource which is in the network drive.

Hi Sonali,
This is because Crystal Reports does not recognize database connection from share drive
1. Save the database locally on server machine
2. Create a new database on server and link the new database with the database on Network.
Steps to link the database.
1.Create a new test database on server.
2. Go to File --> Get External Data --> Link tables | Select the database on Network Drive.
3. Select all the tables from the database.
4. Save the Database e.g. Test.mdb.
5. Create an ODBC Connection on server machine, with the same name as on client machine using test.mdb database.
Note: Click on Advanced button, enter the default user id and password for the odbc connection, it is not mandatory to give Login Name and Password, only if the user id and password are given then we need to provide the same user id and password in the CMC database configuration.
6. Create a report using this ODBC connection, and save the report to Enterprise.

Navin

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

Error deploying Crystal Report XI R2 to Enterprise - Failed to read paramet

Error deploying Crystal Report XI R2 to Enterprise - Failed to read parameter object.
I know this issue has been addressed several times and the solution recommended was to install Service Pack 2. I have done that. It started working for me too; however recently I got some error saying some UDF***.DLL is missing. I re-installed Crystal Reports XI R2 and Service Pack 2. Unfortunately though, this error is back. I have restarted the machine n number of times but keep on getting this error.
My report file has dynamic parameters defined through command object (SQL Query). My understanding is that once I publish the report to BoE Enterprise, BO will create LOVs and BV's in the repository. Now that is not happening.
has any one else had this issue before and resolved it?
Thanks

Get error when trying to publish crystal report to infoview

Hi, Gurus,
I got an error while trying to publish a Crystal report.
The error message says: Fail to read data from report file C:\TEMP~crw{70BDE794-E283-4773-A259-BA810F3E1697}.rpt. Failed to read parameter object.
I'm using a dynamic cascading parameter. The report runs fine in development enviornment.
I'm using Crystal 2008 SP2 and XI3.1
Thank you.
Kiki

There are several SAP NOTES (KB articles) on this error, have you tried searching Knowledge base ?
Most likely it's due to the fact that you have a verson mismatch between CR 2008 and XI3.1.

Error when saving Crystal Report into BOE

Hi there,
I'm having problem on saving rpt (with parameter) into BOE.
My rpt is working fine in Crystal Report 2008.
I've tried to Add Crystal Report using Save As, and returned error:
Error Message: Failed to read data from report file: abc.rpt.
Reason: Failed to read parameter object.
However, it working fine when I add crystal report (no parameter) using Save As.
Would appreciate is there anyone can help on this error.
Many thanks!

Hi Yann,
As you have created a dynamic parameter in the Crystal Reports, the error message occurs because the user or group who created the LOV does not have the appropriate rights in Business View Manager.If you have installed Business Objects Enterprise on the same machine, then please try the following workaround:
1. Log on to Business View Manager as administrator.
2. Click View > Repository Explorer.
3. Right-click Dynamic Cascading Prompts. Click Edit Rights.
4. Click the appropriate user or group receiving the error.
5. Click the Granted option for the right to View, Edit & Set Security rights.
6. Click OK. Close Business View Manager.
Now try to save the report into Enterprise and see the results.

Error in publishing crystal report

In /crystal/rptadmin I am getting this error when publishing crystal reports

Has anyone experienced the same error before?

Hello Donna,
in this case I recommend to post to the [dedicated SAP Integration Kit|BusinessObjects Integration Kits; forum.
That forum is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
Also, all SAP queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.

Hi Ludek
Thank you for your response. I have installed SP3 and ProcMon and still the same result.
I applied a filter on ProcMon to filter out items where the path contains 'export'.
There are a few items where the result is 'NAME NOT FOUND' but I don't think it necessarly had anything to do with the barcode. These include items such as 'EXPORT\MailDestType','EXPORT\DisableExportLiveOfficeSupport'','EXPORT\ExportDirectory' to name a few.
What drew my attention was the ACCESS DENIED result on specifically the EXPORT\PDF folders. The detail for these are Desired Access : All access, however the very same entry appears a little futher on as a SUCCESS but this is detailed as Desired Access: Query Value.
So in summary it looks something like this:
User : Server\XXX
Operation : RegOpenKey
Path : HKU\.DEFAULT\Software\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\Crystal Reports\Export\Pdf
Result : ACCESS DENIED
Desired Access : All Access
User : Server\XXX
Operation : RegOpenKey
Path : HKU\.DEFAULT\Software\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\Crystal Reports\Export\Pdf
Result : SUCCESS
Desired Access : Query Value
There are a few other entries that follow this pattern that exists in other locations such as HKLM\Software...
Could this 'ACCESS DENIED' be the problem? and If so how do I, and should I give user XXX this ALL Access its looking for.
Regards
Elroy
