Invoking a Crystal Report stored on a BOXI3.1 server from a remote web page

We would like to run Crystal Reports stored on our BOXI 3.1 server directly from an in-house intranet website written in ASP.Net. Is there a recommended way of achieving this?
Some possible options we are considering are:
1) A pop-up window opens with InfoView loaded and showing the correct report already open. The user would then populate the parameters and submit the report as if they had logged into InfoView and navigated to the report themselves.
2) We write our own BOXI Crystal Report submission page in ASP.Net. This page would call the BusinessObjects Enterprise .NET SDK to retrieve the report parameter information and submit the report. This page would need to support Static, Dynamic, and Cascading report parameters.
3) Use some sort of 3rd party or SAP imbedded Web Component that we can place on our intranet site that interfaces with the BOXI server and supports parameter setting and report submission. This Component would allow users to specify Static, Dynamic, or Cascading report parameters.
Ideally we would prefer option 3 as this would be simplest to implement, however Iu2019m not sure such a component exists.
Do SAP have a recommended solution for invoking a Crystal Report stored on a BOXI 3.1 server from a remote web page?

Hi Paul,
there are several options:
- you could open InfoView via URL and the user navigates to the report
- you could create you own application
but the easiest way is an application called OpenDocument that is available out of the box which allows you to pass in several URL parameter and in that way you could open up the report.
when you go to help.sap.com and go to the BusinessObjects area search for OpenDocument and you will find the documentation with the details.

  • After installing Crystal Reports XI on Windows 2003 server with one error..

    After installing Crystal Reports XI on Windows 2003 server with one error... REGSVR sapldap.dll error.  I had to regsvr it manually.  Crystal still didn't run.  Found out that Crystal Reports XI will not run until you change DEP to protect only windows program and services.  Thanks.

    Thank you for sharing your finding. Very much appreciated.
    The DEP is a known issue and it is documented in [this|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_erq/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes.do] note.
    Crystal Reports XI was not compiled with the nx flag as it released before Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows 2003 Service Pack 1.
    As for the sapldap.dll. I'm not sure where this is coming from. I do not see this dll on my install, however it does come with the SAP portal integration kit. So I'm not sure if that is flying around somewhere on that server(?)

  • How does a PowerBuilder 12.6 program invoke a Crystal Report 2013 file (rpt)?

    Background:
    We have been trying to find a solution how to invoke Crystal Reports file (.rpt) from Powerbuilder 12.6.
    From the various forum discussions, it seems that the Crystal Viewer OLE control has been deprecated in Crystal Reports 2013.
    What methods are available to invoke Crystal Reports 2013 rpt files from Powerbuilder 12.6, if any?
    What methods are available to invoke Crystal Reports 2013 rpt files from other platforms, e.g, C++, .NET, Java, etc.?
    Please post a solution or suggestion to accomplish this.
    Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you very much.

    Hi Leonard;
      You might want to ask this question as well in the CR Forum as SAP now owns that product as well.  I am sure that Delhi, VB, etc developers must also need to know.

  • How a J2EE web application access CR reports stored on the CR Server XI?

    Hi,
    I'll be working on some crystal report templates that will eventually be hosted/publish on the CR Server XI.
    My questions are:
    1. How my J2EE web application access those reports?
    2. Do my web application uses some CR API for the connectivity and integration?
    3. What will happen to the database connectivity of the report template? since the report are created locally.
    4. Can the report template be edited/updated on the server?
    5. How the CR XI login functionality be involve in the integration (web application ---> CR Server XI)?
    6. Is the J2EE web application be deployed on similar web/application server where the CR Server XI resides?
    7. What is the role of RAS, Universe, Business View Manager to this whole CR integration?
    I hope you can provide some guidance on this journey to Crystal Report world

    1) Your application connects via the Java SDK using the appropriate JAR files.
    2) It can.  You can set the database information at runtime or use the already populated information from Enterprise.
    3) Same as 2.   Typically when you save the report to Enterprise you set up the database information there so that it runs against the database you want without prompting.  You can change this via code to hit whatever equivalent database you want.
    4) Yes.  You would have to use RAS and the RCAPI to accomplish this via code.  You can also make changes in the designer and overwrite the existing report template.
    5) You will log in via code. The information on how to do so is in the SDK documentation, which I will link.
    6) It can be deployed to the same machine as CR Server, though we recommend against that.  Typically you will want to deploy it to a seperate web server and allow it to connect to the CR Server across the network.
    7) RAS can be used to run reports, as well as the page server.  The universe and business view manager are not directly used in code.  If a report runs against a universe or business view then it will use them for data, but you wouldnt do anything with them directly.

  • Crystal Report error trying to retrieve data from a user table

    Hi,
    I'm making crystal report application with VS 2005 and I need to retrieve data form a user table. I'm using Pull method, I configure the connection and parameters by code.
    I think that the problem could be the @ that is used to identify these tables. Please, if some body had this problem before and have a solution, please let me know asap.
    Thanks

    Hi Andrea,
    I had the same problem today. I upgraded from Crystal Version 8 to 11 and the problem was solved. Maybe it is too late for you, but I wanted to post the solution if anybody else has the same problem.

  • Crystal Report 8.5 with SQL SERVER 2005 problems

    CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
    Hi All !We have some problems with Crystal Reports version 8.5 with SQL Server 2005: 1) When we want to generate a report (using data in SQL Server 2005) we have a popup message error : "impossible to loaded pdssql.dll".2) If we want to use SQL Server 2005, which Crystal Reports version we must used ? Is there any restrictions with this connectivity with 8.5 version ?Please, let me known, all informations about SQL Server 2005 and Crystal Report 8.5.Thanks for all !Best regards Anthony

    Hello Kamlesh,
    There is no expectation that the ActiveX viewer (RDC?) from CR8.5 will work in any version of Visual Studio .NET. There is also no expectation that the ActiveX viewer from CR8.5 will work on a machine with a 64 bit operating system.
    You're using VS2008. You should migrate to the bundled edition of CR for VS2008 (v10.5), the ReportDocument object, and the .NET Windows form viewer or Web form viewer.
    Sincerely,
    Dan Kelleher

  • Modifying an instance of a crystal report and set it a filter from a profil

    What we do:
    ==========
    We create publication and schedule them to user after doing a single pass bursting ( crystal report)
    When a user login and access his report that has been filtered by his instance, he is able to look only at his data.
    Notes that the crystal report has been filtered on the field Medical center.
    Notes that this crystal report has 2 parameter one for the medical cetner and another one for the date range
    Also when we ran the publication for all the users, we do set the parameter base on the medical cetner to the value ALL
    The issue is that when this end user refresh the report then instead of getting data only for his medical center , then he is getting data for all the medical center.
    As you can see the profile that has been created on the user doesn't kick in when refreshing an instance of a report coming out of a publication.
    What we would like to achiave thru sdk:
    ======================================
    We would like the end user to open this report and being able to refresh it only within the medical center he belongs to .
    So when the user refresh ther port he should only see data for his medical center
    Questions:
    ==========
    1 - is is possible to achiove this thru  sdk ? In 3,1
    2 - how long would it takes ? ( range)
    Thank you for your help again
    Philippe

    There are two ways to filter the data.  You could set the record selection formula for the report through code so that the data is filtered, parameters could be used as an additional filter.  The second is to design the report off a universe and setup row level security so that users only have access to certain data.

  • Date data from Crystal Report one day less than Date from Source

    Hi,
    I am creating a Crystal Report 4.0 for Enterprise Users (Client Version only) based on a BEx query. I have a field called 'Date' that I am bringing over from the BEx query. It has a format of MM/DD/YYYY. When I view the 'Date' in Crystal Reports, it is displaying as 1 day less from the actual data. For example, in the BEx Query, 'Date' = 11/01/2011.  In Crystal Reports, it is showing up as 10/31/2011, which is one day behind.  I'm not sure what's going on.
    Please help!

    Well, this is as weird as it gets!
    Here are the observations on SP02:
    1) The Date Characteristic is a day off in the report while the 'Key' shows correct date
    2) It displays in the '30.01.2011' (DD.MM.YYYY)format
    3) When you right-click this field to change the date format, the date option is missing
    4) You create a formula to see if this is a date and it returns True. The formula you can try is :
    isdate(). It returns False for any other function like isnumeric() etc
    5) So, this is a date filed, or CR4E thinks this is a date field, however doesn't let us change the format
    6) You cannot use this field with date functions like cdate(); weird!
    7) The only way you can show it the way you want is to write this formula:
    *mid(,4,2)&"/"&left(,2)&"/"&Right(,4)*
    This is still a string field, however displays as MM/DD/YYYY.
    In Crystal Reports 2011, however, the following formula on the same date field returns a date value, meaning you can further right-click this formula field to change the date format like a normal date field:
    cdate(tonumber(Right(,4)),tonumber(mid(,4,2)),tonumber(left(,2)))*
    The same formula, however, throws a 'String is non-numeric error in CR4E and I found that it doesn't like this:
    *tonumber(Right(,4)) ; same error
    I've tried a lot of combinations to make this a date field in CR4E, however none works!
    So, the only option is to use the formula that I mentioned above.
    P.S: If you install Patch 2.10, you'll notice that the Characteristic value shows the correct date. For some reason though, it is in the same format as the 'Key' and if we wish to change the date format, the only possible workaround is to extract the numbers and join like I suggested above.
    Hope this helps!
