If i install the Crystal Reports Server on server machine

i have CR XI R2 edition ,if i intigrate with VS.Net will i be using VS Designer or crystal reports designer
Edited by: kolahalam kathyaini on Nov 25, 2008 12:04 PM

Hello,
You didn't mention which version of Visual Studios you're using. Crystal Reports XI Release 2 (v11.5) Developer edition will integrate into VS2002, VS2003, and VS2005. CR XI R2 will not integrate into VS2008. CR XIR2 Standard edition and CR XIR2 Professional edition will not integrate into Visual Studios because they are not development level products.
After you install Visual Studios 2002/2003/2005 when you install CR XIR2 Developer edition then CR XIR2 will integrate into Visual Studios. The VS IDE will be updated to work with CR XI R2 and the CR XIR2 assemblies, etc.
In this case your application will use CR XIR2 for application development, and you can create reports in CR XIR2, or inside Visual Studios (since the CR Designer in VS has now been updated to CR XIR2).
I hope this answers your question. If you need further clarification please let me know.
Sincerely,
Dan Kelleher

Install the Crystal Reports Runtime SP2 to an alternate drive

I need to install the Crystal Reports Runtime SP2 (CRRuntime_12_2_mlb.msi) to a drive other then the C: drive. The installation package does not give the option to choose an install location. Is there any way this can be done?

If you have your AppPool set for 32 bit then install the 32 bit runtime, if it's set for 64 bit then install the 64 bit runtime.

Distribute Crystal Report from BOE Server

Hi,
=========
Installation on Client machine:
Crystal Report 2008 V1 SP1 and SP2
SAP Integration Kits XI 3.1 SP2
Installation on BOE Server:
BOE XI 3.1 SP2
SAP Integration Kits XI 3.1 SP2
Installation on BW:
SAP BW 7
========
Created crystal report on top of SAP BW Query, and save/publish the Crystal Report into BOE Server directly via Crystal Report ->File ->Save as (I understand that we can also save the Crystal Report into BW role, then publish the Crystal Report into BOE Server via the BW Publish, but we're not using the BW Publish option here).
Now user can logon to BOE InfoView and execute/display the Crystal Report, no problem.
My question is in BOE Server, is there any functionality that allow us to execute the Crystal Report and send it to the user automatically via email? Just like the BEx Broadcaster functionality in SAP BW 7.
If yes, how can I do it?
Any help is appreciated.

Seb,
I have a look at the document: http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31/en/xi3-1_bip_admin_en.pdf
I can see where to schedule the Crystal Reprot to run in the background and send out via email option.
However, I dont see how the report can be sent out from BOE server. Is there any setting need to be done so that BOE Server can send out the crystal report?
Please help, thank you.

Where can I find a copy of the Crystal Report Print Control

Hello,
Our users have access to a report portal developed in house which uses the Crystal Report Viewer to display the Crystal Reports created in Visual Studio 2010. the first time they open the portal and try to print the report the loading dialog box that comes up keeps spinning and spinning. The reason for that is that they don't have admin rights to the computer. I would like a copy of the driver so We can push it out to their computers. Any idea where I can find a downloadable version?
Thank You

Running a crystal report from a local machine

HI guys i'm hoping someone can help me.
I have created a silverlight / asp WEB application that has a crystal report in visual studio 2010.
The problem i have is that i've deployed my website to a shared webhost that does not support crystal.
Until i find a webhost that supports the new version of crystal reports for VS 2010, is there a way i can allow the user to run the report manually from their desktop?
I noticed that installing the crystal reports runtimes and giving them the .rpt file does not allow them to open the file. Is there any other way?
Thanks in advance

Hello,
Moved your post to the .NET SDK forum where 2010 is the only place it is supported, for now.
Mmmmmm. There is a deployment package you can use to get CR runtime onto a WEB server but unless you can find a host who will allow you to do so you'll have to convert your app to a Windows application. Not too much work but there are definitely differences.
To deploy your WEB app to a desktop each user would have to install and configure IIS. Although on Windows 7 with VS 2010 installed there is an interact WEB server, but I haven't looked into it that much or know what the licensing rules are around it. It may just be something VS 2010 installs and supports and you can't deploy.
Sorry I have not heard of anyone either being the product is so new....
Thank you

Crystal report error on Target Machine

We have to provide application exe to our clients. The application is developed in Visual Studio.Net 2010 and by using SAP crystal report CRforVS_13_0. Client must be able to fire reports on their target machine on which the Dot Net framework and u201CCRforVS_redist_install_64bit_13_0_1u201C run time utility is installed. But it gives a crystal report error on the target machine.
Our development and target machines have Win 7 Professional, 64-bit OS installed.
Kindly provide us with an appropriate run time version for target machine in order to fire reports or any other solution in order to make our project work on target machine.
Thanks!

Thanks a lot Don for your valuable suggestions.
We have already taken care of the points which you mentioned in your reply on development side. Also, we have downloaded crystal report from the link which you posted but on DEPLOYMENT side we are unable to run reports from our application.
It gives the notification when we try to install crystal report on a target machine as "You must have visual studio 2010 installed in order to install the crystal report".
The DEPLOYMENT problem we are facing is in RUNTIME environment on TARGET machine. Our TRAGET machine has properly installed Win 7 Professional 64 bit, .NET Framework Ver 4 and CRforVS_redist_install_64bit_13_0_1 . We also have properly installed application on this machine. We got no errors while installing any of the above. The problem starts when we fire a report on target machine from the application.
We get the error as "The type initializer for 'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument' threw an exception"
So, we are looking for an appropriate RUN TIME version of Crystal Report which can be installed on the target machine to fire reports (where visual studio 2010 is not installed).
Please help suggest an exact version to download for target machine and the steps if it has a specific procedure.
Thank you!

Error when running the Crystal Report 9.1 (visual studio 2003) in the deployed server

Hello,
1) I am suddenly getting an error message ‘Load Report failed’ in a production server (where the VS2003 application is deployed) when the Crystal Report is executed. This has happened maybe because of the Windows/Crystal Report Updates!
I am able to see the same report perfectly fine in the development computer using VS 2003.
I am using the 9.1 version which is part of the Visual Studio 2003.
The event logs show 'Either the keycode library is not registered or it cannot be loaded ...EventID=10029'. See attached screen shot.
Please help?
2) Since I was getting a registration suggestion window for using Crystal Reports, I registered twice using different email address and it said that it will send me the KeyCode for the Crystal report but after successful registration I never got any keycode but just an email acknowledging the Registration.
I believe the KeyCode is required to use it in the server to execute/run a report.
Can SAP representative email the keycode to my gmail account?
My product key is:
Please help to resolve both my problems
Thanks in advance,
Sanjay Chudasama

If I memory servers, you have to open the Crystal_Regwiz2003.msm in the .NET deployment project. One of the properties of the msm was Keycode (or similar). You entered the keycode here. To find your keycode; in VS2003 IDE, go to the Help | About screen. You will see one of the installed components as Crystal Reports and the keycode will be on the right of that. Copy the keycode from here, paste in the above.
For more details see the article Crystal Reports and Visual Studio .NET - Application Deployment.

Using Web Services on the Crystal Report Server XI to return reports

Hi,I'm trying to setup for the first time a Crystal Reports Server XI R2 and put a couple of reports onto the server. This is so I can access the reports on the crystal reports server using using the crystal web services and finally display the reports in an ASP.NET web application.So far I have installed the server, created a couple of reports, put them on the server, and tested to see that I can access the reports using the Central Management Console. This all works fine and the reports are returned. Ok, now for the bit that's not working. I've got a C# ASP.NET web application, and I've followed a couple of <a href="http://support.businessobjects.com/documentation/product_guides/cr_net/vs_2005/html/crtsktutorialsotherdynamicpulldownwebservicehelpermethod.htm" target="_blank" title="Adding a Helper Method to Access Crystal Reports Web Services">tutorials</a> to give me an idea of what I should be doing to use the Web Services that are provided: <ul><li>ServerFileReportManager.asmx</li><li>ServerFileReportService.asmx </li></ul>However, it appears that when I list the child objects on the crystal server:<blockquote>serverFileReport = new ServerFileReport(); serverFileReport.ReportPath = ""; reportManagerRequest = new ReportManagerRequest(); reportManagerRequest.ExtraData = serverFileReport.GetExtraData(); reportManagerRequest.ParentUri = serverFileReport.ToUri(); ReportManagerResponse reportManagerResponse = new ReportManagerResponse(); reportManagerResponse = serverFileReportManagerProxy.ListChildObjects(reportManagerRequest);</blockquote>I always get a reportManagerResponse.ReportUris with a count of 0. Now the thing is I know that I have a couple of reports on the Crystal Server, but for some reason they're not been picked up. I must be missing something.Does anyone have any ideas??? Please!Many thanks in advance, ChrisCurrent Set-up:<ul><li>Crystal Reports Server XI R2 (11.5)</li><li>Virtual Directory of the web services: crystalreportviewers115 </li><ul><li>(Physical Path - C:\Program Files\Business Objects\common\3.5\crystalreportviewers115)</li></ul><li>Development Environment: Visual Studio 2005</li></ul>

I looks like your mixing technologies here. You are using Crystal Report Server and the Crystal Report Web Services that come with Visual Studio.I know that this might seem like they are the same product, and the naming does seem confusing but I'll try and make it easy for you to understand.Crystal Reports Server - This is a managed reporting solution which allows you to distribute your reports via the web. It has features like scheduling and built in security.It appears that you have a handle on what Crytal Report Server is from what you have been able to accomplish those far. You have created your report and published it to Crystal Report Server and viewed it via the Central Management Console. Crystal Reports Server has two methods for accessing the reports programatically.1. The Enterprise SDK2. The Web Services SDK<a href="/node/353">Check out this white paper that compares these two SDKs </a><a href="/node/256">This paper describes the Web Services SDK.</a>In the above paper there is a getting started section which points you to the Developer Library which shows you how to install the web services on your Crytal Reports Server machine.Crystal Reports Server does not have the Business Object web services installed by default so I would suggest following the directions in the <a href="http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/BusinessObjectsXIR2/en/devsuite.htm">Developer Library.</a>The directions wont talk about Crystal Reports Server but these are the directions to get the Web Services installed. There is another web services technology which you are writing code for which is called Crystal Report Web Services. This technology comes with Visual Studio 2003. It provides un-managed reports via webservices. Un-managed means these reports are not published to Crystal Reports Server.So basically your problem is that your code is for Crystal Report Web Services but you are trying to view reports published to Crystal Reports Server. To take advantage of scheduling and security and web service access I would suggest using Crystal Reports Server and install the Business Objects Platform webservices to access the reports. I hope that's clear. Rob Horne <a href="/blog/10">Rob's blog - http://diamond.businessobjects.com/blog/10</a>

Thanks for your help

This error occurs after an initial install, when the Oracle suite is installed logged in as the user(who has admin rights on the machine). If this is the case,
1.Go to Services (Admin Tools > Services)
2.Double click the Oracle services( BI Server or Presentation or TNS Listener).
3.Go to Log On tab
4.If local system account is checked , un-check that option. Check "This Account" option
5.Give the user information for that machine(e.g domain\username)
6.Specify password associated with the user ( the username/pwd that is used to login to the machine)
7.Confirm pwd and click Apply.
8.re-start the service.
This is what i did , and it worked.
good luck and hopefully oracle addresses these issues , they become frustrating to use the product.
Thanks,
Ram

Not able to see the crystal reports XI version in the IE 7 and IE 8

Hi Team,
I am using web based application developed in VB,ASP,SQL SERVER,Crystal Reports(XI). I am able to see the Crystal Reports in IE 6. But i am not able to see the reports in IE 7 and IE 8. While clicking on the reports button it is showing the red X image top left cornor.
I am using CrystalActiveX viewer11 version for viewing the reports.
In IE 6,if the client using fiirst time for vieiwing the reports,it will ask the Activexviewer control prompt and says ok,it will display the reports.
Thanks and Regards
Eshwar

Thanks your advise.But we are using following crystal reports (XI) version and we don't have CRXI with R1 and R2.
CurrentVersion:11.0.0.895 ( CR Developer and Product Type:Full)
Crystal Reportviewer11 configured in the IIS which is version (5.0). and configured the virtual folder to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\3.0\crystalreportviewers11\.
Our web application code also configured in the IIS at same level.
When the user wants to see the reports through the application,it will ask the Plugin of Crystal Report Viewer and user will download this plugin and it will save in the IE plug ins.It will ask only first time viewing the reports for the next onwards it will not ask or prompt of the Activex control.
So please suggest me, is there any upgrade version of this Crystal Reportviewer11 needs to be installed or any browser setting need to be configured for IE 7 and IE 8.
waiting for your reply.
Regards
Eshwar

Error With Crystal Reports On Windows Server 2012

Hello,
I have a VB.NET exe application created in Visual Studio 2010 that prints a crystal report directly to the printer. On Windows Server 2008 it worked fine but it does not work on Windows Server 2012. The report was originally created in Crystal Reports 2011. I have read elsewhere that in order to run a Crystal Report on WS 2012 that it needs to be created using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio. So I installed the developer version of Crystal Reports for Visual Studio (v. 13.0.8.1216). I opened the report in Visual Studio and saved it. I then installed the CRRuntime_64bit_13_0_8.msi on the WS 2012. My vb.net exe has the CrystalDecisions assemblies shown below. When I try to run the exe I get the error below. Does anyone have any idea as to what I am doing wrong? Thank you for your input.
Unhandled Exception: System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'PrintWorkOrderAndDrawing.PrintWorkOrderAndDrawing' threw an exception. ---> System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.En

Hi Thomas
First the info re.;
I have read elsewhere that in order to run a Crystal Report on WS 2012 that it needs to be created using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio.
is incorrect. CRVS will run all reports down to CR 9 without issues. And even reports created in older versions will, for the most part, work just fine.
The error is rather strange as it normally indicates that an incorrect runtime has been installed. However in your case as you are using CR 13.0.8.1216 and the 64bit_13_0_8.msi that does not look to be the case. I would like you to double check the CR references in the project. Say, crystaldecisions.crystalreports.engine. It should be version 13.0.2000.0.
If that is confirmed, then we may be at the permissions mentioned in the error. And I'd use Process Monitor for that. Filter ProcMon for the app exe and run the app. Look at the logs for "Access denied" messages. In the log, look for CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine, see what the exe is doing with it. Where is it trying to load it from? Etc., etc.
