  • How Can I Release sessions if these are idle long time Automatically.

    Dear Experts,
    How Can I Release sessions if these are idle long time Automatically based on some time frame..
    So that session memory will be free and when i go to reconnect the session then we will have enough memory for our transaction processing.
    I am asking this question because, In my case (Web Load Testing) after completion the processing this parameter still showing 86% Usage.
    so How Can I release it.

    Change value of IDLE_TIME in profile or better create new profile with less IDLE_TIME and assign to users.
    IDLE_TIME Allowed idle time before user is disconnected (minutes)
    Below is example if user is idle for 20 min , he/she will disconnect
    ALTER PROFILE developer LIMIT idle_time 20;
    Cheer,

  • Crystal Server 2013: How to troubleshoot "Can not create temp file---- Error code:-2147215357"

    We have a Java7 web app, which generate PDF report by calling Crystal Server 2013 SP4.
    The app is being deployed on many different servers. We sometimes got the error below when generating report:
    com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKException: Can not create temp file---- Error code:-2147215357 [CRSDK00000615] Error code name:internal
    at com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.PrintOutputController.controllerExportInternal(PrintOutputController.java:280)
    at com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.PrintOutputController.export(PrintOutputController.java:152)
    at com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.PrintOutputController.export(PrintOutputController.java:130)
    at com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.PrintOutputController.export(PrintOutputController.java:113)
    Problem is, this seems to be  a pretty generic exception. It could be caused by many different reasons.
    e.g. network connection problem, wrong DB login, wrong folder path, lack of folder access right, etc.
    Each time we could only guess what's wrong.
    We are running into it again, and this time everything seems correctly configured so far.
    We wonder if there are more info we can get to troubleshoot? For example, any log file of Crystal Server we should look into? Or does Crystal Server has debug mode which prints more details to tell us what goes wrong?

    Hi Henry,
    I believe you are using RAS SDKs to export the reports to PDF.
    Apply trace on RAS server and check what you find in RAS logs.
    Check whether you can see timeout error is RAS logs. Usually if connection is lost and the RAS server no more have the session to write to the temp directory, we do see these errors.
    Also, does the account that runs RAS have permissions to create a file in RAS's default temp directory? Are you getting any out of memory or out of disk space exceptions on App server or RAS, tracing RAS server is the way to move forward.
    Thanks,

    Yes
    >>Apply trace on RAS server and check what you find in RAS logs.
    >>Check whether you can see timeout error is RAS logs.
    How to configure tracing, and where are RAS logs? Is it configured in CMC --> Servers --> Crystal Report Services?
    >>Also, does the account that runs RAS have permissions to create
    >>a file in RAS's default temp directory?
    Pretty sure yes.
    >> Are you getting any out of memory or out of disk space exceptions

    Not on App server.
    For RAS, that's the problem, I am not sure where to look.......

  • I got creative cloud and want to sell lightroom 5.  How can I release the license?

    I don't know how to do this, but I want to make sure that the new buyer can use the software properly.  I bought this and a month later, uninstalled it when I upgraded to creative cloud.  I don't know how to release the license so I can sell this software to a third party.  Maybe that isn't needed, but I need to make sure they can license it on their computer.  Please help since I don't know how to find out and my buyer is waiting to hear.  Thanks so much!

    I was just about to ask the same question.
    Any clarification would be much appreciated.
    Edit: In my case, I haven't uninstalled the box version of LR5, I just let the CC App install the LR CC version (i.e. just changed the license type to CC)according to this official FAQ: http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/lightroom-creative-cloud-faq.html#id_81567

  • License question how do you release a license?

    Hi all,
    I attended 360Flex this past week and as I don't have a
    laptop I needed to use a loaner lap top from our IT Department. I
    installed Flex 2 on it and used my License for it but now need to
    uninstall the program and release the license. I went to the
    license manager (a logical spot) and there is no info about
    releasing a license it just let's you know your license is valid or
    not. I'm afraid if I uninstall the software on the computer my
    license will still be tied up and I will no longer be able to use
    it. Any help or information would be appreciated.

  • How do I create a report of what is run and when on Crystal Server

    In crystal server, how do I create a report that will tell me the name of all of my reports and the time it is scheduled to run?
    I get the feeling it is in the Query Builder,  but I have no idea what the names of all of these tables are.
    Anyone ever done this or know of another way to do this?

  • How can I get a Listing of all scheduled reports from Crystal Server 9?

    Hello,
    Can anyone help?
    A colleague and I are trying to find out when we can schedule a server reboot (Crystal Reports 9). We can look at individual jobs but we don't seem to be able to find a list of all the jobs and when they occur.
    We need to do this as we would like to schedule a regular server reboot without interrupting jobs.
    As you may be able to tell, my colleague and I have little Crystal knowledge, but we have found our selves looking after this server.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Paul,
    Thanks for your response.
    Do you remember what kind of installation process you have followed while installing your crystal enterprise.
    It will prompt for client installation and server installation.
    If you have installed client products then you wont have instance manager in your list of products.
    Else  if you don't have instance manager in crystal server 9, then for buying the product you should contact your accounts manager.
    He can reach the CIC people through your company and based on your license agreements you can the product.
    Just let me know if you have any queries.
    Regards,
    Naveen.

  • Can't upload reports to crystal server

    Hello guys,
    First is the system info:
    Crystal Server XI R2 with SP3
    OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 6)
    Database: Oracle DB 10g
    This issue shall be divided into two parts.
    Parts one:
    Before the server is reinstalled we can upload some reports. But there is some limitation. When one report is changed, we can't upload it to the server directly. This report should be renamed to a different name then it can be uploaded. If we don't do so it fails with an error message says 'An unexpected error has occurred'. So every time we need to rename reports and then upload them. This workaround is OK for some reports but not all of them. No matter how we reboot the machine or restart the crystal server.
    Part two:
    One day the machine crashed and we reinstalled the crystal server. But this time it won't accept any report at all. Still it accepts other file such as *.Doc, *.PDF Etc. Every time we try to upload a report and we get an error message says 'An unexpected error has occurred'. If we use CMC to upload a report we get something more detail says 'There was an error while retrieving data from the server: Unknown exception occurred when calling into the plugin'.
    BTW, all reports are tested in report designer. They are 100% OK. All services of the crystal server are up and running.
    And one more thing, how can I attach file in this forum. I want to give dear you the log files to refer to.
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi
    It would be easier if you would keep this all in the same topic.
    As suggested in you other thread ([Can't upload reports to crystal |Can't upload reports to crystal server]), this is very likely to be a permission problem.

  • Crystal Reports CMC Unresponsive

    I have just recently began having issues with Crystal Reports Server it appears that around the same time each day the administrative console becomes unavaliable there are no errors when trying to login it just hangs and eventually loads up after 10 minutes or so.
    I am trying to search for log files for the system but the only logs I came across are in the Logging folder under Buisness Object which doesn't help much.
    I have been scanning through the event viewer and have noticed a few errors:
    "An error occurred while creating a Page Server subprocess."
    "Unable to contact server ACRPROD.RAS.rptappserver to change its enabled status. Please restart it."
    "Unable to contact server ACRPROD.programjobserver.jobserver to change its enabled status. Please restart it."
    We are running Crystal Reports CMC on IIS which is also hosting another website on the same server. The website also becomes unresponsive around the same time.
    I am looking for any advice or guidance on how to troubleshoot this issue.

    Hi,
    You should check if it might come from the OS or from BO.
    It might be something like the antivirus or a different program installed on the server.
    Check also via programs like process explorer or the task manager if there is a process which is using a lot or CPU or RAM at that time.
    If it's really coming from CRS, check if you have any schedules running at that time.

  • Crystal Server 2013

    What is the difference between Application server and Web Server in terms of Crystal server 2013? How are they different? Can they both be apache? Is CMC & BI Launch Pad application server? Which one is Webserver? Can they both be installed in two seperate servers?

    To understand better each of these roles I prefer the Learn BI workflows. Have a look to this one:
    BI 4.x Platform: View a Crystal Reports 2011 report on demand
    To your question about Web server: yes, Tomcat can be used as
    - Web Application server: processing the dynamic content such as .jsp pages
    - Web server: also delivering the static content such as images, CSS and static HTML
    CMC and BI Launchpad are web applications that need to be deployed in a Java Web Application Server (Tomcat, Weblogic, etc.).
    Crystal server 2013 is a binary processing server that runs in multiple platforms. If your server is Windows, you can see the process running in memory: crsproc.exe.

  • Crystal Server with SAP Business One Crystal

    Hi,
    We have installed Crystal Reports Server 2008 on a server which already had Crystal Reports 2008 (12.1.0.892) (Fix pack 3, SAP Business One version) installed, as well as SAP Business One 8.8.
    This is the first time we have dealt with the CR Server application.
    The CCM & the CMC are running fine as are all the services.
    When running CR 2008 and choosing Save As: Enterprise, the error message "No authentication plugins are installed" appears.
    The Business View manager pops up a log on box and no authentication methods appear in the drop down box.
    Is it possible the SAP install has corrupted the Crystal Server install, as the authentication plug in dll's do appear to be missing from the server.
    The same issue arises when istalling the client tools on a client which has the same designer version installed, but not on a client which has on older version installed.

    Resolved by uninstalling everything Crystal related, deleting the Business Objects folers, then  reinstalling starting with Crystal Server.
    The install of the B1 specific versions must not contain some necessary files, which are then not installed by the other products

  • Error running reports from Crystal Server XI R2 with datasets

    Hi, sorry if my english is not good. I'm from Spain.
    I have a problem. I'm programming with Visual Basic .NET 2008.
    I'm using Crystal Reports Server and programming under Visual Basic to take reports from crystal Server, changing the tables from the report to datasets and scheduling this report.
    Crystal server change connections to CrystalReports.Dataset.
    Preview reports from server sends me an error "DataBase connector unknown"
    If I run this report (with datasets) into my VBNET application (into a  CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.CrystalReportViewer control), IT WORKS!!!
    I need help because I need to schedule these reports (to send them by email, export to PDF formats, ...)

    Reporting off of a dataset is reporting off of a disconnected datasource.  The reason your application works is beacuse you most likely populating a dataset in your application and passing it to the report at the same time.  When scheduling, there is no interaction with the report so unless the report is using an xml file on disk as its datasource, how can it retrieve data?
    To get around this, you can build a dll (.net data provider) that returns either a dataset or datatable and point your report to this dll.  this way, when the report is executed, it loads the dll which fetches the data for you.
    - so the first step is to compile a dll that returns a dataset or datatable.
    - to design your report off of this dll open the database expert and create a new ADO.NET connection.
    - in the File Path area, click the ellipsis ("...") button to browse to your dll and make sure the selected File Type is ".Net DataSet Provider".
    - once the dll is selected, you can choose the dataset/table returned by the dll.
    If your method in the dll is parameterized, it will add a parameter to the report (similar to stored procedure parameters.
    note: the location of your dll must be in the same path on the CR Server as it was when you designed your report in order for it to be loaded correctly.  I usually put the dll in a folder that I know will exist on both machines.

  • Crystal Report not working when posting the report to the Crystal Server.

    Hi All,
      I created a report using Crystal Reports 2008 with two ODBC connections (User DSN's). When I run the report in Crystal Reports (where I originally created it) it runs fine with no problems.
       I am now trying to load it on Crystal Server 2008. When I try to run this report in InfoView, I get a message: "Error Failed to open the connection." I am thinking that it has to do with the ODBC connections but I am not quite sure. Could someone lead me in the right direction? How will the report that I now saved in the repository on the server connect to the ODBC stream?
       Thank you in advance.

    Solved my problem. I had to tweak the ODBC drivers on the server.

  • Error adding report to Crystal Server 2011

    I have a report that runs against Salesforce.com that I'm trying to add to Crystal Server 2011.  The server is running version 14.0.2.364 of BI.  When I try to add the report through either the CMC or through the BI Launch Pad I get the same error.
    "An error has occurred: Adding Crystal Report "Quarterly Report 2011 with MF v3-2 Les Testing.rpt" failed. The server with kind rptappserver returned an error result. Failed to copy the report file to the report object. Refreshing the report object properties might have failed. Failed to read data from report file C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\Data\CrystalReportsRasServer\temp\{7FD511B8-F5DF-42AC-98D7-D2C43B1C458B}.rpt. Reason: Failed to read parameter object "
    If I try to add it by saving from Crystal Reports I get "Item 1 was not found in the collection"
    I'm logging on as administrator in both cases to the CR server.  I did find a thread where it was suggested that checking the "No Printer" box under page setup may fix it so I tried that but got the same results.  I also saw some references to firewalls, but the server is on a local subnet to my machine and all windows firewalls are turned off.
    The server is a fresh install of 2008 R2 and a demo download of CR Server 2011 and Client Tools. 
    Any help on a direction here would be greatly appreciated.  I've been banging my head against this for a while now.

    I cannot offer much help, but I see the same issue. 
    When I create a report in Developer it runs fine in Developer, but it will not load up to Crystal Server.  I can save the report with a new name and 50% of the time it will load to the Server.  Sometimes when I try to load the report, it seems the Server is thinking for a long time.  I hit "OK" button on server screen and then "Cancel"  the report SOMETIMES shows in the list of reports.  I just witnessed saving a non-loading report as another report and successfully loaded it into Server, then I ran the report in developer, closed it and tried to reload it to the server and it failed.
    It appears to be completely random.
    My gut tells me it has to do with the Salesforce driver (i.e. when I run it from Developer, the driver pollutes the report and chokes loading it on the server?)
    Does anyone have any ideas?
