Integration : Crystal Report Server 11.5 with Sharepoint standard 2007

Hi,
How can I configure my Crystal Report Server version 11.5 to store the generated reports directly to a Sharepoint Library (standard 2007).

Hi,
With the current solution of Integration kits and "integration option for Microsoft SharePoint software" you cannot have reports in SharePoint library. The infoobjects continue to be in CMS.
Thanks

Installing Crystal reports server 2008 v1 with iis

Hi All
I have downloaded a trial version of Crystal reports server 2008 v1 to install on our server.
We are runnning server 2003 and have iis version 6.0 installed.
I have run the installation wizard on our test server but when i get to the "Select Web Application Server" screen i am not given the option to select "Deploy the application in WACS" as the documentation suggests i should.
I continued with the installation using the "IIS Web ApplicationServer option" and selected the default iis website to deploy to but when i try to run the CMC and InfoView I just get the message "Internet Explorer cannot display the Webpage"
We have asp.net v1.1 installed and Application server is installed in windows components.
Does anyone have any idea what may be causing my problems. It is my first time install ing CRS so i may have missed something.
Any help would be appreciated.

CRS 2008 requires 2.0 framework to run

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...

Enable Excel 2007 format export on Crystal Reports Server 2008 - Sharepoint

I'm trying to use Sharepoint's excel services to post some charts from an exported Crystal report to sharepoint. However Crystal Reports Server 2008 only exports excel 97-2003 format. How can I update the Crystal Reports Server 2008 components to support Excel 2007 format. Has anyone done this before?
Thanks,
Dominic

Unfortunately what you are looking for is not possible (At least as far as I know). Crystal is limited to the formats that it already has - and it is not possible to add additional export formats.
Sorry

Report fails to generate on Crystal Reports Server

Post Author: cmilkosk
CA Forum: General
Hello all!
I have a case open with BO on generating a report from a Crystal Reports Server (CRS). The report works fine when running in Crystal Reports on my PC, but after I send it to the Crystal Reports Server, it fails with a message like:"Failed to open the connection.
C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11.5\Data\procSched\metrixdb.reportjobserver\~tmp9bc512965895e0.rpt"This error appears to be telling you that it is trying to connect to
the CRS's reportjobserver process and having a problem, but the service is up according to the Central Config Manager. I tried starting and stopping it, but it didn't make a difference. This happens for different reports sent to the server. One common thing that I've noticed is that the reports that connect to the CRS's local SQL Server 2005 database are the ones that are failing. So, my CRS resides on the same host as the SQL Server 2005 database (which also houses the CRS SQL DB). Interestingly, reports scheduled that connect to a remote SQL Server 2000 database work fine. It could be the simplest report that I am running off of the CRS/SQL Server 2005 host, and it still fails every time. Tech support so far hasn't been much of a help. They suggested that I upgrade my Crystal Reports software on my PC to R2, but that didn't fix the problem.Has anyone had any trouble like this before? If so, have you found out what the cause was?I'm beginning to wonder if it is related to SQL Server 2005 or potentially just that it is connecting to a local database.Note - my CRS's software version appears to be 11.5.3.438. I'm not sure if I am running CRS R1 or R2 (how can you tell?).Anyone have any ideas?Thanks,Chris

Crystal Reports Server 2008 - Jobserver fails!

Hi,
I've just installed Crystal Reports Server 2008 V1. With the server specs listed below:
ESX VMWare Server
OS: Windows Server 2003
RAM: 4GB
DISK: 20GB FREE
I've since started scheduling reports and setting up of the user profiles/access levels.
The scheduling of reports worked fine for the first 2-3 days. After that, it seems as though the job server just dies/stops scheduling. Any other instances that are run manually will be stucked with the status "Pending".
Only after rebooting the Jobserver, will the 'stuck' jobs be processed. This is getting kind of irritating and unacceptable. Anyone has any solutions to this issue that i am facing ?.
Really appreciate any help!
Also, my event log shows a couple of errors and warnings which i will add below:

Hardware resources were NEVER an issue. We have quad core boxes with 2 processors, no other reporting requests just sitting idle and we see this. We now installed SP3 for XI 3.1 and still occasionally seeing it. RAM
We found that if the CMS or the Job server are restarted (we tested this with CR, Webi, Deski) all use the same code to process jobs so it makes sense.
SAP told me to add the -type outproc on ALL job servers. I tried this, I haven't had pending jobs yet on XI 3.1, but doesn't mean it doesn't happen anymore. We only randomly saw this due to our activity on the boxes.
It's one main pressing point for us to move to XI 3.1 Sp3.
By adding this switch we were told it won't re-use any jobserverchild.exe's. It will only create and close new ones used for the request.
We saw our pre-spawned go way down, so it looks like it doesn't pre-spawn any after putting this switch in the command line of the job server.
I still have a case open on this issue. I am waiting for it to appear it's head.
We noticed that it wasn't just Crystal, but all jobs pended. So I suspect what's happening is that something is losing connectivity, yet when I looked at the DB - it was saying active and running just like what we were seeing.
If we restart the CMS OR the job servers, either way they worked after that. I didn't have to do both so that seems like something is losing connectivity to the CMS.
One might say the one point of failure might be the CMS...since all other job servers are having issues. However, all on demand jobs were running fine, even against samples.
So it's a weird issue. I traced as well and no one at SAP could see anything. As soon as I restarted the problem went away so hard to trace unless I let it trace for days.

Does Crystal Reports Server 2013 have Dashboard Drivers built-in.

Hi: Does Crystal Reports Server 2013 come with built-in drivers for Dashboard 4.1.
In fact, is CentralManagementConsole/Monitors/Dashboard an example of "dashboard" technologies.
...thanks, Stanley

Abhilash,
While that is definitely the case with the full BI Platform, I'm not entirely sure that it's correct for Crystal Reports Server. CRS is limited to Crystal Reports - the features for other parts of the BI Platform are not enabled, so I don't believe you can publish from Dashboards into CRS.
Stanley,
The Monitoring Dashboard is a standard feature of the platform. Just because it works, doesn't mean that content for Dashboards is enabled. You could try publishing from Dashboards to test, but it probably won't work.

How to install SharePoint MOSS 2007 PIK for Crystal Report Server XI R2?

My configuration is :
Moss 2007 without any Crystal Report or BO component. on one box with Windows 2003 server
Cyrstal Report Server XI R2 on another box
I have downloaded the kit installation: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/webcontent/uuid/503988db-58c5-2b10-f79d-cb96700417f9 [original link is broken]
I used this one as they said:
BusinessObjects XI Release 2 SharePoint 2007 Portal Integration Kit
Download BusinessObjects XI Release 2 SharePoint 2007 Portal Integration Kit - ZIP 5MB
I do not have BO Enterprise.
Thanks,

Answered my own question. Managed to upgrade to 5.0 following this process, but follow these instructions with care...
1. Stop all CMS services in Config Manager.
2. Go to Add/Remove programs and click "change" for Crystal Reports Server XI. Click on "Modify" then change the entry for MySQL4.1.13a to "Entire Feature will be unavailable" (from Enterprise -> Server Components -> Servers - > Central Management Server). This will remove the existing mySQL version and any data/license key information/customisation, so be wary.
3. Install the desired version of mySQL.
4. Use the MySql command line to create a new database - "create DATABASE BOE115;"
5. In the Central Config Manager, select the CMS and display its properties. Select the Dependencies tab and remove the old version of mySQL and add the new version. Click on the Config tab, then Select Datasource. Select mySQL driver, then complete the details for the newly created database. Once complete it will still produce an error, at which point you need to select the options to Re-create the Current Datasource.
6. Once the datasource is sucessfully recreated, restart the Crystal service in the Config Manager.
7. Open the Config tool, and add your license key. Then Re-Enable all the servers within the Servers page.
8. Any other customisation or preferences would need to be re-applied.
This worked for me, but obviously take care as your existing mySQL database will be completely removed during the process.

Crystal Reports server XI release 2 java Integration - Urgent

Hi,
I am trying to evaluvate Crystal Reports server XI release 2 and i face problems in integrating it with java. can sombody help me out?
Also when i try to open a report using INFOVIEW i get a cannot open connection error.
thank & regards,
Prem

What problems exactly are you running into? Are you getting errors? Also - the infoview error is most likely that the report can't connect to the database - or that the account that the Page or RAS server is running under can't see the database server. Try running the page server and RAS server under a user account that has domain privileges

Please help with my crystal reports server 2008 trial setup

Firstly, if this is in the wrong section feel free to move it. I find this forum is to big to find the information i need, in fact trying to find anything i need on this website is almost impossible. So far not impressed with SAP at all! we download a trial and when we have problems nobody can support us and we have to post in the forums for answers, which i find disgracefull to be honest. So this post is my last attempt of finding the answers to my problems or we are going to forget crystal reports server for good! I was also told that if i wanted help setting this up then i would have to pay, thats not how things usually go when we download a trial of any software!
Anyway, rant over!!
Right, we have windows server 2008 and have installed crystal reports server 2008. So far all i have managed to get working is the reports themselves which run and schedule fine. The dashboard and business views are so confusing i just dont get it at all, the manuals dont help either becuase they are rubbish basically. But my first problem is trying to get windows AD authentication working! easier said than done. I have spent 4 days trying to get it working but nothing is happening. this is what i have done so far
Set up all the options in the CMC to enable AD authentication, mapped a few groups one of which i am a member of.
Then i setup the krb5.ini file like below (removed my server name and domain name)
[libdefaults]
    default_realm = DOMAIN.CO.UK
    dns_lookup_kdc = true
    dns_lookup_realm = true
    udp_preference_limit = 1
[realms]
DOMAIN.CO.UK = {
    kdc = DC.CO.UK
    default_domain = DOMAIN.CO.UK
i also have that other file bscLogin which looks like this...
com.businessobjects.security.jgss.initiate {
com.sun.security.auth.module.Krb5LoginModule required;
The server inteligence agent has been set to use the same username as i specified in the CMC which is also the service principal name and the administartion name
i have set the web config file to use SecWINAD as default, i have also set it to give the option of enterprise, win ad etc in a drop down list
i have gone round in circles for days following the instructions, and nothing is happening
Also i dont see any usernames within the groups i have mapped , am i supposed to see any? am i supposed to add them manually?? if so, whats the point in that?
So now everytime i try to log in i get this error message
Account Information Not Recognized: Active Directory Authentication failed to log you on. Please contact your system administrator to make sure you are a member of a valid mapped group and try again. If you are not a member of the default domain, enter your user name as UserName@DNS_DomainName, and then try again. (FWM 00006)
There is also another error message i get, which isnt coming up right now but it says somthing along the lines of could not authenticate at this time (FWM 00005)
i fail to see what im doing wrong. I shoudl also point out that the username i am using for everything is our own network admin password!
any ideas on things to check before we give up with this all together?

Hi Roberto,
With the changes when SAP took over BusinessObjects the support packaging also changed. It's the way it is now but we are moving to and giving as much options as we can. SAP works on the Self Serve practice. the info is available but you have to find it, which is another thing we are working on to improve for BOE/CRS.
Best place to start is in the CMS link off the start menu, You'll find the Admin Guide and Setup/Configuration Guides. You can also find all of the latest info and updates to those guides from help.sap.com then click on the SAP BusinessObjects tab along the top and then on the left click on All Products and then filter on your version.
Once the Firewalls and Domains and your CRS Server is added to the Trusted Domains and ports opened to allow CRS to talk to the DNS Server CRS will begin to load all of the users into it's User Mappings. You still have to add each user or Group of Users but they will be available. Documents does describe how to....
Once you have the Admin Guide search on Security and it explains in details how to set up and which ports need to be opened etc.
Thank you
Don

Integrating Crystal Report 2008 Developer with Visual Studio 2008 Standard

I have Crystal Reports 2008 Developer version 12.0.0.683 on my computer. I also have Visual Studio 2008 Standard. I know the standard edition of VS 2008 does not have the bundled crystal reports, but since I bought the full version of CR 2008 separately, I figure I should be able to use CR within VS 2008. The problem I am facing is integrating Crystal Reports with Visual Studio, so I can create reports from within visual studio.
Crystal Reports was installed first and then Visual Studio. As per suggestions on this and other forums, I repaired my installation of Crystal Reports, but that did not help. I then ran Visual Studio integration manager, but when I run it, it only detects Visual Studio as the currently installed IDE, but does not detect CR 2008. I downloaded service pack 2 for CR, but have not installed it yet. I do not want to install it if it is not going to help. I would also like to avoid uninstalling my copy of CR if at all possible.
I am a newbie at development in visual studio. Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rajib

Don't want to go against what Jason said as it may be correct - if we go strictly by the documentation provided (sorry Jason, Dan says...). However, here is something to try;
Uninstall CR. Look for any left overs; c:\program files\business objects\... and delete all of that.
Look in the registry for HKLM\software\business objects and remove the business objects entry.
Download CR 2008 from here:
http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx
That is a trial version and I believe it is already at SP 1. Use your keycode to install. Once this is done, you should have the ability to use CR in .NET. I'd recommend you do apply sp 2 now also.

Problems with parameter button in Crystal Report Server 2008

Dear all,
I have problems with parameter button in Crystal Report Server 2008.
when I created some parameters and groups in Crystal Report 2008, they showed both parameters in 'Parameter button' and group in 'Group button' on the left, so I can choose or type without clicking 'Refresh button' But when I added it to Crystal Report Server 2008 and I click parameter button , it doesn't show any parameter. Only click refresh button to choose them. On the other hand, for 'Group Tree' is ok. When go to Default Setting-> Parameter, all parameters are in 'Unused parameter' First time I think I had problems with my installation, but when I reinstalled it again, it was like before.
Could any one help me with this?
I appreciate looking forward to your reply

Creating Crystal Reports with Crystal Report Server XI

Hello,
I am new to Crystal Reports, i installed Crystal Reports Server XI R2 on Windows 2003 server with SP2 and was able to launch Inforview application and also Central Management Console Log On.
I can also see some sample reports which are installed during installation.
Now my next task is to create Crystal Reports using Crystal Report Server XI R2. How can we create a crystal report now by only using Crystal Report Server XI R2?
Do we have to install some other application to create Crystal Reports? I donot see any link on my server which i can use to create crystal reports. The only links which i can see are :
Business Objects-->
     Crystal Report Server-->
                        .Net Administration LaunchPad

Two ways to create reports:
1) You install the Crystal reports Designer (CRW32.exe).
With your Crystal Report Server, you should also have received a second CD that would have the CR designer.
2) You use the RAS SDK and create reports on the fly using the RAS report creation APIs - .NET or Java. Since you are in the .NET developer forum, I assume you might be interested in the .NET RAS SDK. Here is a list of resources i would recommend:
