HTML View Error in Crystal Report 2008 Designer

Hi,
I am getting an Error when i am trying to see the HTML Preview on the Crystal Report Designer. but, It is working Properly From CMC.
I was getting the following Error.
"Failed to access the HTML Server Page
Contact your system administrator and make sure the BOE servers are running properly/
Also make sure that the default viewer URL is set Properly in the CMC of BOE
You can set the Default Viewer URL by following Steps
1) Log into the CMC
2) Clicl the APpplication Link.
3) On the applications page Select CMC, CLcik the Manage menu, A=and Select Processing Settings.
4) In the set default viewerURL, the URL Should be similarto the fllowing:
http://[hostname]:[portnumber]/OpenDocument/Opendoc/OpenDocument.jsp?sIDType=CUID&IDocID=O%SI_CUID%"
Kindly let me know how to resolve this issue. It was working properly. Thanks for your support in advance.
Regards
Shiva,

It is still an issue for me. I have a new install and am using WebElements to improve my reports. I am new to 2008 Server (OEM version) so it's probably something very basic. When I do a submit it shows a path of:
BOE/OpenDocument/Opendoc/OpenDocument.jsp?sIDType=CUID&IDocID=O%SI_CUID%
I don't even have a BOE folder. My setting as instructed on the page is correct. I have tried making changes but then the HTML preview doesn't even load the 1st page. That leads me to believe that the link is correct regardless of what debug says. Unlike other posts I have seen, my pages do not work in InfoView. After hitting submit I get:
http//servicedeskcrs:8080/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=rpt@sDocName=Resolution%20Report.rpt&lsSSelect1=1
Notice that there is no : after http. I have a feeling it is in a setting somewhere but I can't find it.

Runtime Error loading Crystal Reports 2008

Hi there
I have recently purchased online in the sap site the bundled product that includes SAP Crystal Reports and SAP Crystal Dashboard Design on the sap website. For those I received only one key code
I downloaded both products and manage to installed and load SAP Crystal Dashboard Design. I have installed SAP Crystal Reports (CR2008LPs_02142011.exe) everything goes well. When I start the program it loads for a second and then I get the following error:
u201C Runtime Error!
Program: c:\Program Files\Businessu2026
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application support team for more information.u201D
My OS is Windows 7 Enterprise 32-bit
I have tried the following:
u2022     Uninstalling and reinstalling again
u2022     Downloading the file again from the sap site in case the file was corrupted
u2022     I have uninstalled CR and download the SAP Crystal Reports trial version from SAP site
u2022     Trying to navigate to the registry to clear the registry for recent files (as I have seen in this thread Crystal Reports 2008 Runtime Error) . I get the following error message when I click on u201CHKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Business Objects/Suite 12.0/Crystal Reports/Recent Filesu201D. Error:
"Error opening Hey:
Crystal Reports cannot be opened
An error is preventing this key from being opened

I have been unsuccessful with all the above.
I would appreciate if someone could help.
Thanks in advance and regards,
Santiago

Hi Santiago,
That error suggests you are not a local PC administrator. CR installs require you use an account that can update registry keys etc.
Talk to your IT guys to give you full access to your PC or log on as the local PC Administrator and install it again.
Thank you
Don

Error in Crystal Reports 2008 Runtime Version = 12.2.3.467

Dear Support Team
 
 
I am making the setup for our application using InstallShield 2010.
 
 
I recently updated the crystal reports 2008 runtime to version = 12.2.3.467.
 
 
Based on this article
 
 
 
 
Topic of the week (October 15, 2009)
 
Date time field is blank when using ADO .NET dataset and Crystal Reports 2008, Service Pack 2.0
 
This is a new issue, very specific to CR 2008 and SP 2. Date time fields are stripped out of a report (or not
 
visible), if a report is consuming a .NET dataset which contains a date time field. A technical escalation has been
 
submitted and a work-around is detailed in note number 1392258
 
 
 
Since DateTime Column was not getting displayed in the deployment machine when running the report.
 
 
So I downloaded the Crystal Report 2008 FP2.3 and merge module for the same and installed on my development machine
 
 
where I am making the Setup.
 
 
I am able to make the setup successfully without errors, but when I try to install the setup on the deployment machine I am getting
 
the errors as
 
 
Error 1904.Module C:\Program Files\BusinessObjects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\CEReportSource.dll
 
failed to register
 
Same message pops up for N number of Crystal Dlls with message failed to register.
 
Even though as per article in your forums I am doing everything right.
 
I have correct Dll for VC++ 2005
 u2022
 
Microsoft_VC80_ATL_x86.msm; version 8.0.50727.762
 
 
u2022 Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86.msm version 8.0.50727.762
 
 
u2022 Microsoft_VC80_MFCLOC_x86.msm; version 8.0.50727.762
 
 
u2022 Microsoft_VC80_MFC_x86.msm; version 8.0.50727.762
 
 
u2022 Microsoft_VC80_OpenMP_x86.msm; version 8.0.50727.762
 
 
With exactly same versions as mentioned in the article.
 
 
I followed the article in your forum
 
Building a deployment project with Crystal Reports 2008 (12.1.0.892) SP1
 
Posted on Mar. 09, 2009 08:22 AM in Business Objects
 
The same sort of errors is coming but I am doing everything right as per that article.
 
 
To Inform you further before updating crystal reports 2008 runtime to version = 12.2.3.467.
 
 
Everything was working fine, only problem was that Date Time column was not displaying at runtime on the deployment
 
 
machine.

Dear Mr. Williams
I dont think this is the issue related to MS Installer. Still based on your suggestion I downloaded the latest MS Installer from Microsoft Website and Installed on my setup machine and made the new setup with zero errors and warning.
The deployment machine is having full rights and so there is no security issues related to installation even though to clear the confusion I installed the setup on three other xp machines the result was same even after installing the latest MS installer on those machines as well.
I wanrt to remind it again since I was facing the DATE TIME column Issue problem in reports on deployment machines so I updated the Crystal Reports TO CRFP 2.3 EXE AND MSM as mentioned in your forums regarding this known bug that if datetime column is getting from dataset then that column was not getting displayed.
From that time onwards I am unable to install the setup on the deployment machines and I am getting errors unable to register errors crystal reports dlls.
Apart from that I downloaded Crystal Reports 2008 Fix Pack 2.3 - Redist Install (cr2008_fp23_redist.zip) from the download page but i can't open it I am gettinig the error message doesnt appear to be a valid archive.
Please help me and provide me some solution regardeing the issue I am stuck with.
With Regards

Report Selection Formula Error with Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 Fix Pack 3.5

Hello,
My name is Carlos, and I would like to report a defect found in the Crystal Reports 2008 SP 3 Fix Pack 3.5 Runtime that is affecting the majority of our reports. As well, I would like to ask if there is a simple workaround that does not involve updating hundreds of reports.
The issue is that the runtime engine incorrectly returns the report selection formula. I have included sample code showing what I mean.
To reproduce;
1. Create a simple report that has a date range filter like:
({Orders.Order_Date} >= {?START_DATE})
AND ({Orders.Order_Date} <= {?END_DATE})
2. Create a test app as follow that loads a report using the following code:
ReportDocument rpt = null;
try
rpt = new ReportDocument();
rpt.Load("TestReport.rpt");
this.txtMessage.Text = string.Format(
 "ReportSelectionFormula:{0}{1}",
 Environment.NewLine,
rpt.RecordSelectionFormula);
catch (Exception ex)
this.txtMessage.Text = ex.ToString();
3. Install Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 Fix Pack 3.5 Runtime [https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006341772011E/cr2008fp35_redist.zip]..
4. Execute the app.
At this stage, the screen shows
ReportSelectionFormula:
( ( NOT {Orders.Order_Date} >= {?START_DATE} ) AND ( NOT {Orders.Order_Date} <= {?END_DATE} ) )
The expected value is:
ReportSelectionFormula:
( ( {Orders.Order_Date} >= {?START_DATE} ) AND ( {Orders.Order_Date} <= {?END_DATE} ) )
If we were to repeat the same test above but use the Crystal Reports 2003 SP3 runtime (i.e. no Fix Pack), which can be dowloaded from [https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100007123592010E/cr2008sp3_redist.zip], we would get the correct report selection formula. A side-effect for this incorrect report selection formula is a runtime exception complaining about an errorkind and a boolean being expected.
Do you know if there is any workaround that I can apply in code, perhaps a different Fix Pack? Is there a Fix Pack expected to be released soon? It is not practical for us to update our reports and use a different style in the record selection formula because we have many such reports, and our customers probably have even more.
Thank you.
-Carlos.

Already a known issue, here's the [KB 1584095 - A boolean NOT is added at the beginning of a record selection formula when the report is loaded by the Crystal Reports .NET SDK |http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_bi/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333533383334333033393335%7D.do]

CRVS2010 Beta - Report Viewer Errors for Crystal Reports in VS 2010

I have a project that was written in VS 2008 targeting the 3.5 framework which contains a ton of Crystal Reports. I recieved my new license for VS 2010 and did the install along with the Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2. I converted my project over successfully. I am able to open up the reports on their own. When I try to save them they want to be converted to the new format. This also works fine. My problem is the Crystal Reports Viewer. I am not able to add any reports to the viewer without receiving error messages. I have tried using the 10.5 and the latest version of the viewer, but receive errors everytime that I try to add a report to it. I always recevie the following error:
"Error invoking 'Choose a Crystal Report...'. Details: Invalid Report Source"
I have also tried just creating a brand new report from the Crystal Report Viewer Tasks window. When I do that I get this error:
"Unable to find the report in the manifest resources. Please buld the project, and try again." "Error invoking 'Create a New Crystal Report...'. Details: Unable to find the report in the mnifest resources. Please build the project, and try again."
I have tried changed the framework target to 4.0, but this has not helped. I have tried using the 14.0 versions of the references and the 10.5 versions. I have searched all over the internet for a resolution, but can't seem to find one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am having the same problem. You say make sure all of my assemblies are version 14. Three questions:
1. Now that I have removed all of the old Crystal assemblies from my project, what are the assemblies that I need to add back?
2. My VS 2010 "add references" popup shows me many crystal assembles (Crystal XI is also installed) which ones to I need to install now?
3. If I don't know what they are, or where to find them, how do I determine their version?
You solution reminds me of the old saying "If I had ham, I could make ham and eggs. If I had eggs!"
More information please,
J Rich

Crystal Reports 2008 - Error setting new datasource location

Hi All,
We are experiencing an issue while trying to set datasource location for our RM 3.0 reports in Crystal Reports 2008 designer. As per guide "SAP BusinessObjects Process Control 3.0 and Risk Management 3.0 - How to build and Personalize Custom Crystal Reports" (step 11), after opening the desire report we go to DataBase-->Set DataSource Location and when selecting our RM system (which actually has the BI content addon installed on it), we got the following error message:
"Some tables could not be replaced, as no match was found in the new data source. Please verify the table required for any unmodified tables"
I'm new on this so I'm not sure if the table indicated in the original datasource should exist in my DB (new datasource) before doing this? If so, how those tables are imported or created in our DB?
Could you please help me on this issue?
Please let me know if any other detail or data is required.
Regards

Hi Don,
Thanks for the update.
Actually I've installed SAP Integration Kit and its Fixpack in both....BOE Server (which is the same as the SAP server) and in client pc. In all cases we have select a typical installation which supposes the required drivers are available. Also I've followed Ingo's documentation to activate and publish standard Risk Management reports (RM reports). Everything works ok with them. We are able to access reports through the application.
The issue appears when trying to customize one of these standard reports through CR Designer. For example if we select the "GRRM_Risk_by_Risk_Category" and try to customize it as indicated in the "SAP BusinessObjects Process Control 3.0 and Risk Management 3.0 - How to build and Personalize Custom Crystal Reports"...the table behind this report (table GRFN_CY_API_GRRM_R1) it's not in our RM System. My main concern or question is regarding this....Did I miss something while importing transports files, activating or publishing RM reports, etc....and thatu2019s the reason why this (and any other) table is not already in my system? I was not able to find where those tables are supposed to be or how they should be imported in my system. The odd thing is...that we are trying to customize and set the new data source for these reports to the same system from where they are being opened. Put in this way...RM reports have been activated in system A (RM System) and published to system B (BOE System). While customizing reports through CR Designer...we are actually opening reports from system A. These reports have as their original data source...a demo SAP system info (uxcir1p.wdf.sap.corp) and when we want to update this data source with our RM system....the error appears. The whole process is explained in the above mentioned guide for your reference.
Hope being clear enough..
Thanks for your help

Two problmes between Crystal Reports 2008 and Bex Query

Hi Gurus.
I have two problems with Crystal Reports 2008 when It obtains data from a Bex Query (SAP MDX query connection).
1) I have defined some Parameters Fields using the follow options:
Type: String
List of Values: Dynamic
Value Options Level1:
 Show on (Viewer) Panel :Editable
 Prompt text: <text>
 Sort Order: Ascending by value
 Prompt With description Only : False
 Optional Prompt: True
 Allow multiple values: True
 Allow discrete values: True
 Allow range values: False
When I execute the report with the client of Crystal Reports 2008 (the developer tool), in the initial screen shows a list box where I can select the values from the left box and add it to the left box (as a usually filter). When the number of options (LOV) is more than the maximum of the system, I have a input box bellow the list box, where I can insert any value (manually) and a button to insert it into the left box. When I publish the Report in the infoview, this filter is modified and the input box where I can introduce manually values is not showed and I can insert only the values showed in the list box, it causes that I can`t select a lot of values that is in the master data of SAP BW, because they arenu2019t listed in the list box.
There is any option to ability this option in the infoview.
2) My Bex query, have a date filter with variable in the restricted key figures, when I execute a Crystal Reports, the infoview (and the Crystal Reports 2008 designer) ask me 2 times the same date, first only the date and second the date and the rest of parameters (introduced in the report of Crystal Reports).
Why I need insert the date 2 times? How can I modify the Crystal Report for ask me only one time all the parameters?.
Thanks.

Hi Abhilash.
Thank you for your information.
1) Yes, the parameters are created in the Crystal Reports designer. I have created the parameters in the Crystal Report because I use the same Bex Query to create some Crystal Report, in other case, I will need create some Bex Query.
2)The Bex query has the date filters and I have created some filters in Crystal Reports designer, the date filter from the Bex query is created automatically in the Crystal Report Designer but I don't use it, I haven't created it anytime. I use my filters only in the record selection. The date filters from the Bex query is showed as Static, and I can`t delete it, if I modify the parameter to dynamic or static with values, at first step ask me again static without values and the second step of the report execution ask me the parameter as I have defined in Crystal Reports Designer, my parameters fields are dynamic. A lot of reports have subreport, but I have created one of them without subreport (to trial) and the Crystal Reports ask me the date filters at first execution, and when I insert the date filters, in the second step, ask me the date filters again and my parameters fields again.
Thank you again.

Crystal Reports 2008 Repository Explorer

Hi,
I am new to Crystal Reports 2008. I want to use Crystal Reports 2008 Repository. My question is as it was done in Crystal Report 9 Professional edition that a crystal report developer can create a Repository while using Crystal Report 9 Professional edition without Crystal report Server, Is this also possible with Crystal Report 2008. If we only have Crystal Report 2008 designer or developer edition, can we create Repository's i.e. Text Objects, Images, Custom Functions, SQL Commands etc without having Crystal Report 2008 Server, if yes please let me know the method.
Thanks in advance
Thanks

Hi,
I was on web found this link
http://www.crystalkeen.com/articles/crystalreports/repository.htm
which says that:
Crystal Reports: Repository
A solid understanding of the repository can really improve the the efficiency, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness of your reports. Hammerman and Associates offers classes on this very subject. We aren't going to cover all of it here, but will provide some highlights.
Use the CR9 Repository for those commonly used objects
The Crystal Reports 9.0 repository is a great place to store some commonly used items in your report. This includes text strings, images, SQL Commands (see next item) and Custom Formulas.
The Repository is initially stored in an Access database and has an ODBC connection with the System DSN of u201CCrystal Repository.u201D But you can use any ODBC data source including a database in your network so you can all share the same common objects.
Create a new database for the repository. We recommend you copy the existing MS-Access database, but you can start with an empty database. (The initial repository is Repository_en.mdb, stored in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Crystal Decisions\2.0\bin).
Create an ODBC connection to the new database. The new database does not have to be an Access database. If you use your SQL Server or Oracle server then, by using server security you can control who can view and who can edit items in the repository.
You next need to set Crystal Reports 9.0 to use this new Database connection. This control information is stored in an INI file and can be edited with any text editor such as NotePad. The INI file is at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Crystal Decisions\2.0\bin\orMap.ini .
There is a line in this file that saysu2026 Crystal Repository=Crystal Repository .
Edit this to say Crystal Repository=New ODBC DSN.
Is this also possible with Crystal Report 2008 designer/developer edition.
Thanks

I'm getting the following error in Crystal Reports 2008 when I want to open the Format menu in the toolbar The moment Crystal Reports 2008 has just started (no report is loaded):
Crystal Reports: crw32.exe - Application Error
The Instruction at "0x00a1305d" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "read".
Click on OK to terminate the program
Click on CANCEL to debug the program
The moment I click on the format menu a process SVCHOST has 100% CPU Usage for some moments and after a few seconds the errormessage appears.
I'm working on a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition Service Pack 2 with 2 CPU's and 3 GB of memory.
The version of Crystal Reports is an evaluation version with Service Pack 2 on it (version = 12.0.0.840).
When I install the same Crystal Report version on the client, the error doesn't occurs.
What could be wrong on the server.?

Can we use Crystal Reports 2008 tool to directly reports on SAP R\3 data?

Hi,
Can we use Crystal Reports 2008 Designer to directly reports on SAP R\3 data without any additional Integration Kit for SAP?
I believe the Integartion Kit is only for reporting on SAP BW data.
Thanks in advance for your response and any additinal details you can provide.
Thanks,
Sri

Cyrstal Report Server Version Compatible With What Crystal Reports 2008 Ver

I am currently running Crystal Report Server Version 12.1.0.882 . I am having issues getting my reports to run on the reporting server. I need to install Crystal Reports on the same machine so that I can test the connection to the database that we are reporting on. The Crystal Report 2008 version I have is 12.2.0.290 but it is incompatible with the current Server version so they can not both run on the same machine.
What version of the Crystal Reporting Server matches up with the latest version of Crystal Report 2008 12.2.0.290?

If you want to run Crystal Reports created with Crystal Reports 2008 designer (I believe you are using SP2) you need to have Crystal Reports Server 2008.
Hope this helps...
