How to do Scheduling Crystal Reports?

Hi All,
I request any one of you, to let me know how to schedule Crystal Reports. I am unable to find any option in Crystal Report Designer.
Please list if any step by step procedure on scheduling crystal reports(lets say hourly, or weekly and save the crystal report with data).
And also any idea on how to maintain crystal reports instances?
Thanks in advance !

There are actually a dozen or so tools out there that can schedule Crystal Reports. The two mentioned here are SAP products. For a complete list of third-party scheduling products (ranging from free to several thousand dollars) you can go here:
http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html
There are even a few more at the high end that will be added to that page in the next month or so. I am currently working on a feature comparison for scheduling engines for my March newsletter.

Schedule Crystal Reports on BOE with Parameters

Hi
I would like to schedule Crystal reports with parameters on BOE. How can I pass a parameter if the job is scheduled to run nightly?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hello!
I am going to assume that you know how to schedule a report to run nightly and how to set the parameters/prompts, and what you are really asking is how to change what the parameter/prompt value will be every night?
If that is the case there is no default functionally that can do that. How ever you could create a Java application (or another supported programming language) application that will run as a Program Job Object. The PGO (Program Job Object) will be what is scheduled nightly. Inside the PGO you would schedule your report to "run now" with the parameters/prompts you want for that night.
I hope I have answered your question. Cheers!

Can not view/schedule Crystal Reports in new BOE XI 3.0 Installation

Hello,
I'm having an issue on a brand new installation of BusinessObjects XI 3.0 on AIX 5.2 (using WebSphere 6.0). Installation went smoothly and migration went fine. Can log in, pull up CMC, InfoView (all other apps). But scheduled Crystal Reports (as well as viewing Crystal Report thru InfoView) are failing with the following errors (which to me seem interrelated):
*(1) Error in File ~cec0c55d91e0e015.rpt: The request could not be submitted for background processing*
*(2) Error in Report XXX: Failed to load database information*
*(3) An error occurred while creating a subprocess in the processing server. [RCIRAS0604]*
These three errors indicate to me that the report engines are having issues opening the files, pulling the data and generating the reports. We've checked to make sure that the account that BOE is running under has all the permissions it needs - and it has.
I just turned on tracing (-trace) on the report job processing servers and I'm watching the logs as I retrace my steps...
Any ideas? Would appreciate any feedback...
Thanks,
Will

Turns out this is a pretty nasty issue on Unix environments. Being that the BOE application is developed on Windows then ported to Unix environments, the services (daemons) still end up depending on an emulated registry (MainWin) sort of like in a Windows environment.
For some reason (we're still trying to figure this out), the BOE registry entries got corrupted and then started preventing the processing servers (which in the case of CR ultimately depend on CRPE - Crystal Reports Print Engine) from opening up and processing CR files.
We engaged BusinessObjects/SAP support and have been able to resolve this issue on our test AIX system. The resolution included deleting all the mainwin (mw) tmp directories and files in the root temp directory and also in the
/bobje/enterprise120/aix_rs6000/crpe>
directory. Then we stopped all BOE services and reran the MW script to regenerate registry entries. This repair was a pretty intricate multi-step process. The SAP Technical Rep who worked on this case is writing a knowledge base article (an SAP note). Once I get details, I'll update this post.
The good news about this issue is that the upcoming SP1 of XI 3.0 removes the dependency on the mw registries...

How to Call a Crystal Report from Form 6i?

Dear All,
Can anybody tell me how to call a crystal report, designed using Crystal Report 9, in form 6i? I tried one solution by using the host command but it was not working properly. The code I was tried is like:
     f_name varchar2(240);
     f_name :='C:\Program Files\Crystal Decisions\Crystal Reports 9\crw32.exe D:\Form16\Form16_Rep\bin\Debug\Form_16_character_emp.rpt';
               host(f_name);
This open the crystal report in design view. So how we call a report which run automatically like in .Net. How to pass the connection info of the database schema?
Thanks & Regards
Sunil

Hi
First see the built in run_product function.
You can create a parameter list, add the
"MAXIMIZE" paramter in it and then call your
report with run_product passing your parameter list in it.
hence the called report will be maximized.

Scheduling Crystal Report to fax

Hello,
We have a requirement to schedule the Crystal Report to fax through Crystal Report Server 2008.
We use rightfax server with email gateway configured to SMPT server to send fax as email . In order to send fax as email right fax server uses addressing scheme like below for email address.
/fax= <fax Number>/<domain name)
/fax = 610666666/<arightfax(at)xyz.com>
In Crystal Report Server, I scheduled crystal report with destination as email and for " To field :" entered email address following above addressing scheme. But crystal report server does not recognize above addressing scheme as email address and job fails. Please advice if there is any way to resolve this or achieve my requirement through Crystal Report server.
Thank you.

Pushparaj.

I was wondering if you had heard or found anything on this Issue we are also trying to perform the same function and I am looking for some way to send several reports to the Right Fax printer or to the system.

How to get a Crystal report as an iview in Portal

Hi,
Please let me know how to get a crystal report to Portal.
Regards,
Pradeep

Hi,
I used URL iview option to get the crystal report in portal and am able to view it. Thank you all for your inputs.
But as of now SSO is not configured between BOE and BI system, so when i click on URL iview initially it asks me for credentials to BOE InfoView and after entering that it again asks for BI login as the data has to be picked from BI server.
We are going to configure SSO mean while i just want to know whether it is possible to pass the id and passw as parameters to this url iview, if so what are the parameter id's i need to maintain to pass id and passw.
Let me know on this.
Regards,

Use the upgrade management tool to move from 3.1 reports to BO 4.1. After migration, open the report in crystal enterprise 4.0, you will get a message saying that the report will be converted to latest version, will not be able to view from older version after converting.

How to publish a Crystal Report in Business One

Hi
Please can anyone tell me how I publish a Crystal report (which is now inbuilt in SAP B1) so it is available to all users? I have full administrator/manager user rights. I have so far created the report and saved it to my SAP server machine on it's C:drive.
Thank you very much for any help and info.
Matt

Hi, I worked out how to do it. I had to first enable the Crystal Add on from within SAP and then open the Crystal Reports Administration menu under Administration and then select "Manage Crystal Reports". From there you can browse to the report you have created and select the module for where you want it to appear under in SAP.

How to hide Database Logon option when scheduling Crystal Report in BOE?

Hi All,
For security reason, we are try to hide the Database Logon option in Crystal Report Schedule page in InfoView.
There is option in CMC which we can configure the default Database logon option so that users do not have to enter the logon everytime they view or schedule the report. However, we are looking to hide this option completely.
Does anyone know if there is a security setting which can hide the option from specific users?
Thanks,
Bobby

Hi Bobby,
As Jorge informed that there is no method available within CMC to hide database logon option when scheduling or viewing a Crystal Report in the Info view. This is very much true.
But as you also mentioned that you don't want your users to enter the database logon credentials evertime they view or schedule a crystal report, there is one setting in CMC which we can do to avoid prompt for database logon credentials.
CMC - Home - Go to that specific crystal report - Click Process tab - Click the sub-tab 'Database' and at the bottom of the page there is an option "Use same database logon as when report is run". Check this option after providing the database credentials and click UPDATE.
Now whenever users try to view or schedule this specifc crystal report they won't be prompted for the database logon credentials.
Regards,
Venkat

Error while scheduling Crystal Report within CMC with Destination as Email

Hi,
I have added a Crystal Report within the CMC. Before scheduling it, I have specified the Destination as Email and entered the necessary details. After scheduling it, the Report Instance gives a Failure with Error Message as -
destination DLL disabled.CrystalEnterprise.Smtp
How to rectify this?
Thanks,
Amogh

Hi,
go to the CMC and invoke the server list under Servers. Locate the entry for the Crystal Reports Job Server, select it and invoke the context menu using the right mouse button. Select Destination and add Email in the list of the possible delivery options. Configure the connection data for your SMTP server and restart the Crystal Report Job Server.
