How to use CR Viewer 2008 to open a report created in CR 2008?

I have CR Developer 2008 version 12.0.0.683 that I am using to create a report whose data source is through the iHistorian OLE DB connector. I can preview the report in the Developer, but as soon as I use Crystal Reports viewer 2008 (12.2.0.r325)to open the report, I get the following error: "An error occured trying to load the report: The field size is not allowed to be negative:
"-1".-----Error code:-2147215356 Error code n".
CR viewer 2008 is able to open the samples reports, but not the report I create.
Any help would be appreciated

Hi Shweta,
I am not using a .NET application. I not using Visual Basic either. I just have Proficy Historian 3.1 collecting data from an iFix tag, and i am reading that data into CR 2008 designer.
I think that the viewer is unable some how to connect to my server with the iHistorian OLE DB. I tried adding the server in the viewer "server configuration" but no luck. I was able to view the report I created on crystalreports.com. So i believe that the problem is with Crystal reports viewer 2008 connecting to my data source server.
Thanks,
Abdou

  • How to Use Transient View Objects to Store Session-level Global Variables

    hi
    Please consider section "40.8.5 How to Use Transient View Objects to Store Session-level Global Variables"
    at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/web.1111/b31974/bcstatemgmt.htm#ADFFD19610
    Based on this documentation I created the example application
    at http://www.consideringred.com/files/oracle/2010/ProgrammaticalViewObjectAndRollbackApp-v0.01.zip
    It behaves as show in the screencast at http://screencast.com/t/qDvSQCgpvYdd
    Its Application Module has a Transient View Object instance "MyEmployeesContextVOVI", as master for the child View Object instance "EmpInCtxJobVI".
    On rollback the Transient View Object instance keeps its row and attribute values.
    Also when passivation and activation is forced (using jbo.ampool.doampooling=false ) the Transient View Object instance seems to keep its row and attribute values.
    questions:
    - (q1) Why does the expression #{bindings.MyEmployeesContextVOVIIterator.dataControl.transactionDirty} evaluate as true when a Transient View Object instance attribute value is changed (as shown in screencast at http://screencast.com/t/qDvSQCgpvYdd )?
    - (q2) What would be a robust approach to make a Transient View Object instance more self-contained, and manage itself to have only one single row (per instance) at all times (and as such removing the dependency on the Application Module prepareSession() as documented in "5. Create an empty row in the view object when a new user begins using the application module.")?
    many thanks
    Jan Vervecken

    Thanks for your reply Frank.
    q1) Does sample 90 help ? http://blogs.oracle.com/smuenchadf/examples/
    Yes, the sample from Steve Muench does help, "90. Avoiding Dirtying the ADF Model Transaction When Transient Attributes are Set [10.1.3] "
    at http://blogs.oracle.com/smuenchadf/examples/#90
    It does point out a difference in marking transactions dirty by different layers of the framework, "... When any attribute's value is changed through an ADFM binding, the ADFM-layer transaction is marked as dirty. ...".
    This can be illustrate with a small change in the example application
    at http://www.consideringred.com/files/oracle/2010/ProgrammaticalViewObjectAndRollbackApp-v0.02.zip
    It now shows the result of both these expressions on the page ...
    #{bindings.MyEmployeesContextVOVIIterator.dataControl.transactionDirty}
    #{bindings.MyEmployeesContextVOVIIterator.dataControl.dataProvider.transaction.dirty}... where one can be true and the other false respectively.
    See also the screencast at http://screencast.com/t/k8vgNqdKgD
    Similar to the sample from Steve Muench, another modification to the example application introduces MyCustomADFBCDataControl
    at http://www.consideringred.com/files/oracle/2010/ProgrammaticalViewObjectAndRollbackApp-v0.03.zip
    public class MyCustomADFBCDataControl
      extends JUApplication
      @Override
      public void setTransactionModified()
        ApplicationModule vApplicationModule = (ApplicationModule)getDataProvider();
        Transaction vTransaction = vApplicationModule.getTransaction();
        if (vTransaction.isDirty())
          super.setTransactionModified();
    }Resulting in what seems to be more consistent/expected transaction (dirty) information,
    see also the screencast at http://screencast.com/t/756yCs1L1
    Any feedback on why the ADF Model layer is so eager to mark a transaction dirty is always welcome.
    Currently, question (q2) remains.
    regards
    Jan

    How to use Cinema4D lite with no opening After Effects CC ?

    Open a 3D object Photoshop-type in After Effects CC (without C4D)
    It is also possible?
    thanks

    It is as Mylenium says.
    See this page for details such as this:
    "You open the version of CINEMA 4D that is installed with After Effects using the New > MAXON CINEMA 4D File command or the Edit Original command in After Effects. You will not see this version of CINEMA 4D installed in the Start menu on Windows or in the Applications directory on Mac OS."

  • How to use the checksumdll.lib in LabWindow/CVI to create CRCChecksum();

    Hi All,
    Any one know how to use the checksumdll.lib in LabWindow/CVI to create CRCChecksum() ?
    Thank you.

    Do you ave some documentation about that dll?
    Have you looked into dll properties searching for vendor name? Maybe you can look int vendorìs site and obtain some help.
    Ultimately: are you forced to use that dll or can you use any software to calculate the checksum? There are several CRCs that you can use: provided you know which is the type used you could find an algorithm to calculate the CRC and check an existing one.
    Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

    If I have helped you, why not giving me a kudos?

  • I can't open a report created in win XP on win2000

    I can't open a report created in win XP on win2000
    I created a report in winXP on SCOTT schemas and I tried at home to reopen the report.
    I receive an error like UNABLE TO OPEN .....REP-0110.
    I tried these reports on another computer with WINXP and they perfectly worked.
    Only win2000 has this problem? Can I solve this problem without installing WinXP?
    Thank you

    there should be no difference, except if you reports versions on those two machines are different. have you tried the other way around, create a file on win2000 and try to open it on XP ? maybe the file gets corrupted during transfer or something.
    thanks,

  • How to use Query-views as input-ready

    I have a input-ready query working fine saying the IP field is input-ready, and a value can be entered.
    If I save the query as a query-view and want to use the view instead, the input-ready field change to 'not input-ready'.
    Hence, can query views not be used in IP ?
    Thanks in advance, Mikkel

    Hello,
    My first question is can Apex 3.1 work with 9.2 - 10.1 - 10.2 and 11.1?Correct. That's said in the installation guide.
    My second question is how can I open the Query Builder inside the Create Region>SQL Report wizard to my users inside a custom user defined form?This does not yet exist out of the box. You can have a look how Oracle did it and try to mimic it in your own application.
    My third question is if the answer of second question is it is not possible, then anyone can advice on alternatives for this kind of a need with Apex?Import app 4500 in your own workspace. On page 1002 you should find the query builder.
    Again you can't just run this, you would need to make customizations to it. Alternatively you can add just a textarea on a page where you can run SQL statements from. But I guess you want to have the graphical display?
    My last question is how Apex can handle a distributed database environment, like Java applications can it open several database connections as needed?APEX is living in the Oracle database. So everything inside that database you can potentially work with. If you need data from other sources you can use a database link or hytrogenous connectivity. Basically if you can do it from the Oracle database, you can also do it from within APEX.

  • How to use activeX viewer with java( CR XI)

    Post Author: jws1624
    CA Forum: JAVA
    Hi
    I could find any sample source or refference about usging activeX viewer and java (CR XI R2 sp3).
    Because of downloading excel(export function), I can't choose JRC viewer . So I think activeX viewer is only way to solve my problem.
    Can anyone let me know how to coding it with jsp? ( there are saveral samples in asp code, but not jsp)

    Post Author: Ted Ueda
    CA Forum: JAVA
    The limitation of not having Excel exports is specific to the Crystal Reports Java Reporting Component, and not with the viewer.ActiveX viewer is supported with the Report Designer Component, which is not Java but COM based - the RDC furthermore is deprecated, and not supported starting with Crystal Reports 2008.  The ActiveX viewer is also supported with Crystal Reports Server and BusinessObjects Enterprise.If you use CR.NET, then Excel export is supported - however, as its name implies, it uses a .NET-based SDK.Sincerely,Ted Ueda
