How to Uninstall Crystal Reports installed via .msi file

Post Author: epowers0213
CA Forum: General
Hello,
We are installing crystal reports on some clustered servers using the CRRedist2005_x86.msi so that a web application which uses Crystal Reports will run properly. (Visual Studio is not installed on these servers.)
If there is any problem caused by running the CRRedist2005_x86.msi program, how could we back out the installation/uninstall this version of Crystal Reports? Our server administration group wants me to provide an "uninstall program" just in case running the .msi file causes problems for any of the other applications on the server. However, I have not been able to find any information on this on the Business Objects web site (apart from some manual uninstall directions).
Can anyone help?
Thank you in advance!

XMI is XML with a specified format.
Looking at the XMI format definition for the XML, it doesn't appear if it will automatically be consumed by Crystal.
Crystal expects relational, rather than hierarchial, data - so you'd need to find a way of exposing the data within XMI as a relational dataset.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

How to invoke crystal reports from Oracle forms 11g R2 along with passing p

How to invoke crystal reports from Oracle forms 11g R2 along with passing parameter to it.
how to pass parameters to crystal report, please help.

how to pass parameters to crystal report, please help.This would entirely depend on crystal reports and you might find informations on crystal reports related communities more likely...I for one have seen crystal reports the last time about 12 years ago. And even back then I simply acknowledged it's existence instead of working with it.
Maybe crystal reports can be invoked via a URL call which would make it simple as you'd need simply build an URL and show the report using web.show_document. But that's pure speculation. Also you might not be the first with this requirement, so the solution to your problem might be right under your nose and just a little google search away ;)
cheers

Re: Uninstall Crystal Reports

Hi,
I'm not able to uninstall "Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 2.0 (x86)u201D from my Vista 64 bit machine. I'm uninstalling from the Control Panel and it goes through the procedure of the uninstall, but the listing is not removed and I can't install an updated version. Any ideas why?

Hi Jonathan,
Yes same admin account (I only have one).
I did update to "Windows Vista Service Pack 2 for x64" lately. I don't know if that has anything to do with it.
Event viewer info:
Product: Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 2.0 (x86) -- Removal failed.
Windows Installer removed the product. Product Name: Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 2.0 (x86). Product Version: 10.2.0. Product Language: 1033. Removal success or error status: 1603.

How to integrate Crystal Report Server and J2EE platform

Hi,
It's my first time using Crystal Report, so I don't know exactly how I should start...
As what i've searched around, there is a method of generating crystal report from a JSP file. By this way, everything will be handled within the application server.
But in my project, we intend to leave the part of handling and generating report to another server, i.e. there will be 2 servers: application & report. Anyone experienced with this can guide me through? By splitting into 2 servers, that means I will need to have the Crystal Report Server right? And if doing so, from the application, how do I call the Crystal Report server?
Thanks for viewing...

You can use [Crystal Reports for Eclipse|Crystal Reports for Eclipse 2.0 Release Update 8 is Now Available!; to do exactly this. It comes with an example application for displaying reports using the CR Web Report Viewer. It's EXTREMELY easy to use and even to integrate in your existing web app. If you're using Eclipse and have the CR4E plugin installed, you can go to File > New > Crystal Reports and select Crystal Reports Web Project. This will create the CR server application for you. You can also right click on an existing web app and have Crystal Reports integrated directly into your existing app.
To do this, just right click on your web app and go to Project Properties. Then, go to Project Facets, check the box next to Crystal Reports, click Apply and then OK. It will copy all of the necessary runtimes into your lib folder and will even update your web.xml to include the stuff needed for CR. On the left, you should see Crystal Reports File Versions. Click on that and you should see the version of Crystal that was just installed into your web app along with all of the files that were copied or modified.
You could probably then create a report viewer in your other app (maybe an iframe?) that includes a link to the report in the CR Web App.
If you need more assistance with this, let me know. I'd be glad to help out as I've already played with something similar to this.

I am afraid you have come to the wrong place. MS does not support Crystal reports except for
"Microsoft supports setup and installation for the Crystal Reports products shipped with the Professional and Enterprise Editions of Microsoft Visual Basic for Windows versions 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 and 6.0."
For other support you need to contact
For other Crystal Reports support, please do not contact Microsoft. Please contact Crystal Decisions (formerly Seagate Software), which now owns and supports Crystal Report Writer.

How to use Crystal Reports XI in SBO 2004 ?

Hello,
I´m making an Add-on in VB .Net and need to show a report from Crystal Reports XI (a .rpt file). My Add-on is a Console Application. From what i have read from this forum the best way is to use a Windows Form (not a form from SBO) with a "Crystal Report Viewer". How is this done exactly?
   1 - What refences to include in the project?
   2 - How to assign to Crystal Report Viewer to the Windows Form?
   3 - How do i change in VB .Net code (that is, in runtime) the datasource from the .rpt file?
Can you please give a code example.
Thank You.
Jorge Lopes

Thanks Ibai.
My code to change DataSource is:
Try
                Dim rpt As New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument
                rpt.Load(strPath & RELATORIO_ORCAMENTO)
                '/ Inicio
                Dim rptTableLogonInfo As New CrystalDecisions.Shared.TableLogOnInfo
                Dim rptConnectionInfo As New CrystalDecisions.Shared.ConnectionInfo
                Dim rptTables As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Tables = Nothing
                Dim rptTable As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table = Nothing
                With rptConnectionInfo
                    .ServerName = ODBC_DATASOURCE
                    .DatabaseName = objCompany.CompanyDB
                    .UserID = System.Windows.Forms.SystemInformation.UserName
                End With
                rptTables = rpt.Database.Tables
                For Each rptTable In rptTables
                    rptTableLogonInfo = rptTable.LogOnInfo
                    rptTableLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo = rptConnectionInfo
                    rptTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(rptTableLogonInfo)
                    rptTable.Location = rptTable.Location
                Next
                If (rpt.Subreports.Count > 0) Then
                    ActualizaSubReports(rpt.Subreports, rptConnectionInfo)
                End If
                '/ Fim
                rpt.SaveAs(rpt.FileName)
                rpt.Close()
            Catch ex As Exception
                objApplication.MessageBox(ex.Message)
            End Try

How to Deploy crystal reports in BOE

    2.How many ways is there to deploy crystal reports in BOE server and name of the method is needed.
   Anyone knows about these details could you please reply me

I am not sure what you are asking.
Are you trying to publish reports into Enterprise so they can be run from say infoview, scheduled etc? If so you can either use the publishing wizard or do a save as from the Crystal Reports designer and save them to Enterprise directly.

how to do crystal reports in bi-7 i need clear steps

Hi,
Please read the following documents.
I am sure that this is going to help you in creating crystal reports.
Regards,

Pls grant me points if it is found useful
Use
The Reporting Agent allows you to precalculate BEx queries (as useful queries) for Crystal reports in the background. This is a device used to improve system performance when executing Crystal reports.
Prerequisites
·        In the BEx Query Designer, you have defined a useful query for Crystal Reports and determined variables for the required characteristics.
·        You may want to apply a filter when precalculating this useful query using a control query (see Parameter Filtering in the section below). In this case, you need to have created an additional suitable query in the BEx Query Designer.
The associate variable must have the type Changeable with Query Navigation. Other variables can have any type.
Procedure
       1.      Choose the REPORTING_AGENT transaction code.
       2.      Select Precalculating Crystal Reports Queries and choose Execute.
       3.      Navigate to the required query in the left-hand Reporting Agent Settings tree.
       4.      You have the following options for creating a new setting:
-         Choose New Setting from the context menu.
-         Choose Create New Setting.
The New Reporting Agent Setting dialog box appears.
       5.      Enter a technical name and a description.
The following information is displayed on the General tab page:
-         The functional area of the setting is Precalculation of Crystal Reports Queries.
-         Information about the query for which you are creating a setting is shown under the Query group header (description, technical name, InfoProvider).
-         After the setting has been saved for the first time, the system displays details of the last person who changed the setting and the time this change was made, under the Last Changed On/By group header.
-         Under the Setting is Used in Packages group header, the system displays information about the packages in which the setting is used, and how they are scheduled. This information can only be displayed if you have defined the setting and assigned one or more scheduling packages to it.
       6.      Choose the Parameters tab page.
       7.      Determine whether precalculation of the Crystal Reports queries are to be parameterized using a filter and using variants.
For more information and recommendations for choosing parameters in a straightforward example, see Parameterizing Crystal Reports Queries Setting.
Filtering Parameters
No Filters
When you do not want to use a control query to precalculate variables, choose No Filter.
You can combine this option with parameterization using Variables (see below).
Explicitly Using Query Result
If you want to use a control query when filtering, choose Explicitly Using Query Result. You can now make entries in the Control Query and Variants fields.
Specify the technical name of the control query. Input help is available. After you save your entries, the system updates the information according to your selections.
You only need to specify a variant when the control query contains input-ready mandatory variables. This does not happen very often, however.
You can combine this option with parameterization using Variables (see below).
Parameter Variants
After making your setting for filtering a parameter, you can process variant for the individual characteristic values of the variables set in the useful query.
Note: The variable screen only offers such variables when they have not already been filled by the control query. (This can also include variables of type Changeable with Query Navigation, as long as they arent filled by the query).
You can choose from the following functions:
Create a Variant
A dialog box appears in which you can choose values for the SAP variables used in the useful query, in the Query Selection area. Input help is available for those InfoObjects for which SAP variables have been created.
Enter the required data.
Choose .
Change Variants
Delete Variants
If you have already created one or more variants, the system lists these in the lower part of the screen. Choose the variants you want to change or delete and choose the appropriate function.

How to use Crystal Reports XI release 2 Preview with Lotus Notes Scripts ?

 Hi all, How to use Crystal Reports XI release 2 Preview with Lotus Notes 7 Scripts ? Thank's 

Hi,
we are using Lotus Notes and Crystal Reports for preview and printing reports from our Lotus Notes Applications. We use the RDC object model. For previewing the reports we export them in an pdf-file and then start the PDF Reader to show the Preview. This works fine.
But with Crystal Reports > 11 the RDC Object Model is no longer supportet, so we look for another way to preview and print our reports.
I try to preview a report build with crystal report XI release 2 in my thick client (Lotus Notes) using java reporting component JRC, this report uses an native xml file as datasource. If the datasource is saved with the report everything works fine, but otherwise I have the following error:
JRCAgent1 detected an exception: javax.xml.namespace.QName: method getPrefix()Ljava/lang/String; not found
I also tried the .jars from Crystal4Eclipse. Doesn't work. When I use Eclipse to view the report everything works fine. The class QName exitsts in the jaxrpc.jar and in the xbean.jar, but only in the xbean.jar a Methode getPrefix exists.
This is what we tried:
Works fine with RDC. Doesn't work with JRC until now.
Did this help you ?
Perhaps you con help me with the JRC, because I'm a java newbee so any ideas could be helpful.

Hello Amol,
The Crystal Report for Eclipse - Java-based Crystal Reports development - is integrated into the Eclipse IDE and IBM RAD.
However, it's not integrated with JDeveloper.
You can still access the Crystal Java Reporting Component to create Java applications to view Crystal Reports, but you'd not be able to create RPT files unless you use Eclipse or RAD.
