Forte and Crystal OCX

Using Crystal Reports 6.0 ActiveX control on Win 95 clients or Win 95
development machines I cannot insert the object into the ActiveX widget. In
distributed mode the Control cannot be 'Realized' and in development, the
Win 95 machine hangs up.
Complete description of problem or question:
We have been using the Crystal Reports version 6.0 ActiveX control on NT
4.0 machines for about 1 month with no problems.
When we made our latest distribution to our Win 95 client environment, the
window with the ActiveX control started
generating an error that the object could not be 'realized'. We then
proceeded to install Forte and Crystal on a Win 95
Development machine and found that we are not even able to insert the
control in the ActiveX widget. The Win 95 Development
machine hangs with no error message at all and you have to close down your
Forte session.
Any help would be appreciated.

Printing in color or black & white in VB6 and Crystal Reports 8.5

Post Author: elsyvaldez
CA Forum: General
How can I programatically print in color or black & white? I am programming in Visual Basic 6.0 using the Crystal Reports 8.5 Active X Designer Runtime Report object (CRAXDRT.dll). Our users want the option to print either in color or black & white to a color printer. I am trying to print many separate reports (for a large group of accounts) in one click of the VB6 "Print" command button without having to display the Printer Setup dialog box for each separate report. The Report object in CRAXDRT has a method to display the printer setup dialog box but has no property to change "Color" mode (similar to the "PaperOrientation" or "PrinterDuplex" properties). Is there a way that our users can bring up the Printer Setup dialog box just once, choose color mode, and then make this choice effective for all separate reports printed using CRAXDRT?

Hi Sastry
I can print multiple pages from notepad without any issues. It is only the print from the crystal OCX control that has the issue. It has it's own print dialog box.
Thanks

Windows Server 2008 and Crystal Reports 8.5 printing issue

I am having a problem when using the crystal reports 8.5 report viewer ocx (ActiveX) under Windows Server 2008.
When logging onto the server through remote desktop, a report can be shown on screen in preview. When this report is printed, and the user requests more than one copy, the printer only ever prints one copy. Is this a configuration of the terminal server, or simply that the ocx control doesn't cater for it?
I am using the Windows Server 2008 "Terminal services Easy Print" drivers on the terminal server.
Any suggestions would be welcome.

VS2008/VS2005 and Crystal Reports 2008 Developer

Hi,
1.) I am using VS2008 and Crystal Reports 2008 Developer. Are there any issues I need to consider when developing using both of the above? (or with VS2005)
2.) The confusion for me is in regards to the SDK. From what I understand from articles etc is that using CR 2008 dev we can use the .NET SDK or RAS SDK for development purposes?
3.) So downloaded the sample code for RAS .NET from [here|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/businessobjects-samples?rid=/webcontent/uuid/80774579-b086-2b10-db91-ed58c4dda375] and tried "DatabaseLogon_CS" example, as the option. It automatically opened in VS2005 (no problem) however it would not run.
I would get an error :
Failed to connect to server "localhost".
Error returned from Windows Sockets API : 0.
and line causing this is >>> rcd.Open(ref path, 0);
Code below:
        string sampleReportPath = @"C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\Samples\en\Reports\Demonstration\World Sales Report.rpt";
        object path = (object)sampleReportPath;
        // Create an instance of the ReportClientDocument.
        ReportClientDocument rcd = new ReportClientDocumentClass();
        // Set the location of the RAS server.
        rcd.ReportAppServer = "localhost";
        // Use the Open() method of the ReportClientDocument to open the report.
        rcd.Open(ref path, 0);
I have been able to open the RPT file by itself. So it does 'see' the database.
Reason why it would not run?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

If you're using the sample code from our website, make sure you have uncommented the InprocRAS option in the ConfigureCrystalReports method (see below). From your error description it seems like you're using the unmanaged RAS option, which requires a RAS server.
private void ConfigureCrystalReports()
        /* The following methods implement the same sample functionality in three different RAS
         * scenarios. Uncomment the method you would like to use.
         * - inprocRAS() logs onto a databse using RAS and SQL authentication.
         * - managedRAS() logs onto a database using RAS and SQL authentication from a managed RAS server.
         * - unmanagedRAS () logs onto a database using RAS and SQL authentication from an unmanaged RAS server.
         * Undocument the call to the method which applies to your appropriate RAS settings.
        DatabaseLogon_inprocRAS();
        //DatabaseLogon_managedRAS();
        //DatabaseLogon_unmanagedRAS();

Views on CF Report Builder and Crystal Report

Dear all,
I would like to get your opinions on CF Report Builder and
Crystal Report.
As we all know, CF Report Builder is a new reporting tool.
But I find it very difficult to design a complex report maybe due
to limitation in its functionalities. Sometimes the tool shutdowns
by itself without any warning and reason. But the output is nicely
presented on a flash paper / pdf and it can be run on non-MS
platforms.
On the other hand, Crystal Report is a more matured product
but runs only on MS platform. It is very easy to use and very
powerful. I have been using it for almost 10 years. But the output
is not nicely presented on the web browser unless if we purchase
Crystal Report Enterprise to generate the report which is very
costly.
Can you all share your views? I need to make decision which
tool(s) to use. Really appreciate it.
Cheers,
Keiko

Hi Keiko,
Yes, CF Report builder is new and initially there was few
issues with this. But I guess now it's good after hotfixes.
Well, I am using CF Report Builder. It's good for me. You can
also design and develop complex reports, that depends upon the
query you are writing. You can also add subreports to your main
reports.
Mainly CF Report is platform independent and you can also
generate reports in PDF, EXCEL and FlashPaper.
Crystal Report is no doubt is very good, and it's there for
long years. I agree you can create complex reports with this, but
you also can do the same in CF also. You are using this for last 10
years, so I guess you should try something new and that is CF
Report Builder and you can judge then.
I am sure you will have fun with CF.
Thanks

Hi Detleff,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
Since this forum is to discuss: Visual Studio WPF/SL Designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System, and Visual Studio

Re: Forte and Dialup PPP connections

Subject: Forte and Dialup PPP connections
Priority: normal
Reply-to: "Dexel Durban" <[email protected]>
We want to run Win 95 on our client forte machines. Currently we're
using Forte v2.0E and MS TCP/IP.
Everything works fine in the LAN enviroment, however these client
machines have to run at remote sites, and therefore will need to use
modems with dialup PPP links.
The catch with the dialup procedure is that they will dial into a box
which verifies their username/password and then dials them back (for
security reasons) and sets up the PPP conection.
The only software that seems capable of setting up a PPP connection
after someone dialing your machines, is a product called Fastlink which
we're using.
After we've set up the PPP connection and run forte it works 100%,
however if we come out and run forte again - it can't establish the
connection to the host.
What we've deduced from this is that possibly :
1) MS TCP/IP isn't cleaning up after itself after the first
connection
2) The problem lies with Fastlinks ODI driver.
My questions are :
1) Has anyone managed to get forte running over a modem using PPP,
with the call-back verification procedure outlined above ?
2) In the Forte doc's it says that Forte is only compatible with Win
95 and MS TP/IP no other TCP/IP stack - is this true, or has someone
managed to get another stack working ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated !

I have some similiar problems that basically were solved by a fix to one of the
ip executables. For this particular situations I was using Lan Workplace for DOS
Version 5 and just visited their web site and looked for a description similiar
to the problem I was having to determine the right patch. It sounds like when
you let go of your connection that the com port is probably still being held and
not beig released. I could be wrong but.... are you getting any other type of message?

Thank you for your answer, David.
We are considering the splitting of one VMS partition into several ones to
streamline some functionality. Currently the communication between the
implied components is handled within the existing partition. By splitting it
we are expecting some performance loss due to interpartition communication
overhead and, since the number of messages expected will be high, we were
wondering if they will be needlessly going through the whole network stack
or transferred directly via socket IPC, as can be done in the Unix boxes.
The answer would help us tune-up the system by focusing at the right
parameters during testing of the new setup.

Oracle 9 and Crystal reposts 8.5

Hello everybody!
I'm trying to link my oracle 9 database on my new report, made with Crystal Reports 8.5.
But I'm having this message: "ORA-01023: Cursor context not found (Invalid cursor number)", with any object that I tried to put on the report.
Can anyone help me to solve this problem?

Hi,
Ok here what I'm trying to do.
I have an application Visual Basic 6 that use crystal report 8.5 to export the report in pdf using the dll cradxt.dll by programming.
On the dev pc I have Visual Studio 6.0 and Crystal Report 8.5 installed.
I want to install this software on another PC so I created a deployment package, automatically the pakage added the "necessary" dlls.
But is not enough I need to added more on the client pc so it's hard even if I read the Runtime.hlp that come with Crystal Report 8.5 and I added all the dll it always seems to miss somes.
So I was wondering if a merge module or something exist like the other version of Crystal Reports to install the necessary dlls on a clients pc.
Otherwise what is the best way to do it ?
Regards.

Migration between SharePoint07 and Crystal Reports - please Help !

My purpose is to install the integration kit (keep asking for SP3 in installation menu)
Do I need to Install Business Objects XI 3.1 in order to install the integration kit to SharePoint 07 ?

Re: Forte and OrbixWeb call-back

We have created a business process manager (BPM) layer between our client GUI
and business model objects that supports Java call-in/call-out. This enables
switching out the Forte windows with Java windows for a web solution with
minimal code re-write.
We were able to get most functionality to work as per our design, which
included registering a call back function from a Java GUI in the BPM, but had
to make some sacrifices due to a Forte bug, at least under 3.0.D. We turned
in case #38434, detailing errors when we tried to fire a callback method with
parameters, example below ("callback" was the Java object passed in.)
method TestIIOPBackend.FireCallback(input message: Framework.string)
begin
if callback != nil then
task.part.logmgr.putline('Firing callback');
//WORKS
callback.CallMe();
//ERROR!
callback.CallMeString(message);
else
task.part.logmgr.putline('Callback not set');
end if;
end method;
This may have been fixed in 3.0.F, we found a way to work around it in our
design and haven't investigated since.

Peggy,
1) Do you have experience with PowerBuilder and Forte' applications running at
the same time on the same (laptop) computer? Here I'm thinking
about any potential resource constraints? Memory Requirements?As log as you are using Win95 or NT you should not be concerned about WIN-resources. Memory depends more on what your 2 tier PB application requires than what your Forté would require.

Are Crystal 9 and Crystal 10 supported with Windows 7?

I have Crystal 9 installed for Peoplesoft report development and Crystal 10 installed for Kronos report development. We are moving to Windows 7 and I am doing testing of all our applications and third party tools now. What I am finding is that both versions will install without error but I cannot connect the ODBC DataDirect drivers and no other drivers will work. So If I cannot connect to our Oracle database then I am wondering if these version are in fact supported on Windows 7? Can someone please respond/explain?

Hello,
Both versions of Crystal Reports are not supported on Windows 7. But I believe Peoplesoft have their own ODBC driver so you'll have to check with them if they support those versions. Our original DataDirect driver would not be supported on Windows 7.
And I don't believe the current 5.3 version are supported in CR 9 and 10.
PeopleSoft should be able to confirm if their OEM build of CR 9 and 10 are supported or even tested on that OS.
Should also mention only version is CR 2008 Service Pack 2, CR XI R2 SP6 is also but it's end of escalation life cycle now, meaning no more patches will be created.
Thank you

Citrix mapped drives and crystals merged files

Has anybody come across an issue with Citrix mapped drives and crystals merged files.
I have updated the crystal DLL's my application uses to 11.5 and created a new setup kit to distribute my app including these new DLLu2019s along with a merged file call crstalreports11_5_net_2005.msm the Visual Studio setup app added. The installation runs fine on the Citrix server and application runs as well. When I come to run any report on the Citrix server I get an error u201Cprocedure call or argument is not validu201D. If I remove the mapping to the drives the reports run without any errors.
I need to keep the mapped drives on Citrix so removing the mappings is not really a solution to my problem (which is a shame really)
I am using Visual Studio 2005, Crystal Report XI and Citrix 4.5
Any help would be gratefully received

See if Process Monitor will help you trace down to where this is happening. Process Monitor can be downloaded from here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx
Make sure you filter for your process name as Proc Mon creates rather large log files. Once you have a log, search for errors such as Access Denied, etc.

Vb6 deployment and Crystal Report 8.5

Hi,
I tried to deploy a Visual Basic 6 on a client pc that use Crystal Report 8.5.
Because no merge files exist for this version of Crystal Report I tried to added all the necessary dll in the deploy package (using visual basic 6 tools deployment).
I read the file Runtime.hlp so I added every dll wriiten in this file.
When I run my setup I always have this error :
The program can't start because CRPE32.dll is missing from your computer.
It's strange because I added this dll to my deployment package.
So I don't no what to do anymore.
Need some help to solve this problem because I know it's easier with more recent version of Crystal Report because of the merge file but right now this software need CR 8.5.

Hugo
