Is Crystal Report's 8.5 help functionality supported in Citrix?

Post Author: queengeek
CA Forum: Older Products
I have a Windows 2003 Server, std running Citrix Metrafram XP, FR3. I have CR 8.5.0.2175 installed but when I recently added the "help" options, it doesn't appear to work. I can click on the help button but nothing ever happens.Is there something weird about this version & Citrix? T

I do know that, but I do not think that Crystal 10 (with which Sybase guy assured me everything is OK )
does include that either, moreover when using old Sybase 12.5.1 ODBC SYODASE.DLL everything is OK.

Hi
I am using Crystal report XI with Delphi 7
OS: Windows XP.
Delphi 7
CR Version: Crystal Report XI
In Crystal Report XI While calling PEOpenEngineEx() by setting Engine option as multi thread, It failed with error message u201CError:512 Report Engine Not Openedu201D

aEngineOptions.openEngineType := PE_OE_MULTI_THREADED;

I tried the same with Crystal Report 8.5 (above mentioned code change) Function PEOpenEngineEx() working fine.
How to overcome this error to make work Multi Thread using CR XI?

I found that it is bug Release 2 and the script server_patch_xir2 resolved it.

Crystal Reports 2011 not working in windows 2008 server CITRIX

Hi All,
We are using Crystal reports 2011 in windows 2008 server which is CITRIX farm., having crystal reports 2011 runtime in it..
We are using .net applicationton to run the reports.
The crystal reports parameter popup is getting opened. But the calendar icon is not fuctioning ..clicking on the calendar control no pop up appears. no error too..
OK button is not responding. Cancel button too.
Can you please help us why we are facing this issue in CITRIX only. When we are using the same version in desktop, Crystal report is working fine.
Please feel free to ask if required any more details about my problem.
Regards,
Venkat.K

Ido's idea is excellent, only addition I'd like to make is the following:
You are trying to run a .NET app. However, CR 2011 does not install any SDKs. So, the directory specified by Ido is not correct. Assuming that by CR 2011 you actually mean "SAP Crystal Reports, Developer Version for Visual Studio .NET", then the directory would be:
C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Common\Crystal Reports 2011\crystalreportviewers\prompting
If that does not help, use Process Monitor and see what the logs tell you (look for Access Denied messages).

Error: 'bobj' is undefined - crystal report for VS2013 - please help ASAP

Currently we are trying to migrate from VS2008 to VS2013 and we installed Microsoft Visual Studio Ultimate 2013 on a windows 7 laptop. All our crystal report programs are migrated to VS2013. I downloaded Crystal report Support Pack 10 (v. 13.0.10.1385) executable version and installed it. Then opened our old project (from vs2008) in VS2013 and it went through the conversion process. Later I opened each .rpt file and saved in VS2013 so that the crystal report files will be saved in the new format.
I am getting the Error: 'bobj' is undefined when I try to run the report. Am I using the correct service pack 10, or should I use service pack 9. I have read through all the posts related to this error in earlier version of VS. Is there any correct fixes for VS2013?
This is urgent, I am stuck with this error. please help??? Thank you.

Crystal Reports Charting Issue with SAP Function Module

I created a custom SAP Function module that returns 2 tables. The first table (summary table) contains two columns, column "a" contains a grouping and column "b" is a quantity. The second table is the detail and is linked to the first table by the grouping, column "a" , in both tables. I can bring the function module into Crystal Reports, but cannot create a drill down using a pie chart off the summary table. When I go into the Chart Expert - Data Tab only the Advance button is active and the Group, Cross-Tab, and OLAP buttons are deactivated. First of all, is it possible to do this using a SAP Function Module, if yes, what am I doing wrong.

hello Jhess,
i am not sure if you found an answer for your question yet. if you have a Group and a Summary on your report (i.e. the Sum of your Quantity field) then group charts should be enabled.
cheers,
jamie

Crystal Reports crashes when accessing Help or refreshing report data

I am running Crystal Reports 2008 (v12.0.0.683) on the same server as Business Objects XI 3.0. When I open a report in the Crystal Reports 2008 designer client, the client crashes without any error messages if I try to access the Help files or refresh the current report data. My report does include parameters and a subreport. I am logging onto the Windows 2003 SP2 server via a Remote Desktop connection. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Kathy

Please re-post if this is still an issue to the Business Objects Forum or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you
directly. If you have a valid BOE version and support contract you can log a case in SMP.

Crystal Report + Web Services Security Help!

Hello all,
I am trying to design a Crystal Report (using CR XI 2 and/or CR 2008) and using a web service as a data source. I've developed the web service in .NET and have control over the IIS directory it is hosted on. I've set the authentication for the folder with "Anonymous Access" turned off and Integrated Windows Authentication.
I'd like Crystal to pass the current user id (NT Id) over to the web service when the report is created. My web service will take the user id and return only the data that the user is allowed to view (security is all in the web service).
The problem I am having is after setting up my connection in Crystal Designer, when I click preview, I am getting an unauthorized (401) error.
It seems that CR isn't passing any type of user credentials to IIS. Does anyone know if there is a way to do this so I can test this in the designer?
Thanks!

Nope, nothing yet. The problem seems to be that Crystal doesn't currently allow SSO or the SSO credentials to be passed through to IIS. Therefore, IIS never gets any security tokens for validation. Maybe you can do this with an SDK? I don't know.
The only half solutions I can think of are:
1. Allowing "Anonymous Access" authentication to your web service on IIS. The downside is that the user token doesn't get passed through, so if you are looking to use the current user security context, you're outta luck. You'll get the impersonated IIS account instead.
2. Hosting your crystal report file behind IIS in your vritual directory. I think this works since by the time you get to the report, it has already been authenticated via IIS. However, you don't get the luxury of the BOE servers.
So sadly, no answer yet. I've decided to just code everything into my stored procedures as I am short on time. It seems odd that CR doesn't seem to support this yet, but who knows what the future holds
If you find anything out, please let me know. Thanks!

Crystal Report chart with VB6 help...

Hello!....I m using crystal report with visual basic 6.......i develop a report in crystal report in which i add a chart control......when i see preview in crystal report and move mouse over chart then on Tool tip i get each data point shown on mouse movement......
but when i open this report in VB...and run project and move mouse over it the i only get "CHART"...for whole movement.....how i can get data values for mouse movement in VB6??.....thanks in advance........

How and Why...
In Crystal Report Designer the viewer is built into the executable and therefore has direct access to the report objects. The Charting dll is also a third party dll which we have hooks into in CR Designer and can get and pass the required info from the charting dll to the internal viewer. It's all processed on the local PC.
In code there are limitations as to what the ActiveX and other viewers have access to due to WEB issues. When viewing reports from a WEB app we are passing each page to the browser in a proprietary "picture" format of each page therefore there is no way to capture where the mouse is when it's over a chart object, it is an embedded picture also. Same for non-web applications, it's a limitation of the browsers and viewers mostly.

Several Crystal Reports problems can anyone help?

I have a software application that was developed with visual studio 2008 C#. It uses the crystal reports included in visual studio 2008 to generate reports but there are several problems that I cannot seem to get resolved. Here is a list of what Iu2019m having trouble with:
1. I would like my pdf exports to have a bookmark or table of contents on the left side that shows the different sections but haven't found a way to do this in the visual studio CR version. Is this available in the full stand along version of CR?
2. I have a cover page on my report where the user can insert a logo image. The problem is that if the logo image has a white background it will turn the white background gray. I have figured out how to resolve this by checking "retain original image color depth.u201D The problem with this is that all the images in my report are larger so the report pdf file size goes from 3mb to 30mb. Is there a way to make the logo image appear as normal without having to check the retain color depth? I have tried adjusting the image in photoshop several different ways but havenu2019t figured it out yet.
3. Is there a way to adjust line height in a rich textbox in crystal reports? When I put text into a richtextbox and then generate a report the text is very close together as if the line height needs to be increased. When I open the report in visual studio the line height says 1.5 but is grayed out so it canu2019t be adjusted. Iu2019ve tried copying/pasting text in from ms word that has 6pt between text and it looks good in the textbox but when report is created the line spacing goes away.

I recommed looking at the following forum thread:
inserted picutre in report with white background shows as grey
And as per the [Rules of Engagement|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/home/rulesofEngagement], please create new thread for each of the other queries.

Crystal Reports version 10.0.0.53327 supported on Windows Server 2003 R2?

Hello,
We are currently using Crystal Reports version 10.0.0.53327 with a ASP web application on Windows 2000 Server. We are in the process of upgrading the web server to Windows Server 2003 R2 but have encountered problems with the print feature in the application when printing reports using Crystal Reports. We have duplicated every setting from the original web server on the new web server down to each registry entry and DLL file for Crystal Reports but continue to have a problem. Are there any known compatibility issues with our version of CR and Windows Server 2003 R2?
Any information or assistance provided will be greatly appreciated.
Morgan

You are not giving enough info re. the actual issue. E.g.; encountered problems with the print feature is a bit "loosy goosy". What are the details of the printing issue? Errors? Incorrect printing? Etc.
Taking a wild guess here, but do have a look at [this|http://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] kbase.
If that does not help, do search these forums as well as the kbase:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/advancedsearch?cat=sdn_ossnotes&query=&adv=true
And if that does not help, provide more info. Oh, also search for latest updates for CR 10 here:
http://service.sap.com/sap/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm
And finally, specify how you deploy the CR 10 runtime to that server.

Sold-To Party and Reported missing when doing Help - Create Support Message

Sorry, I know this has been asked multiple times, but I'm missing something in the responses. The responses I am finding either don't seem to apply to my situation, or aren't detailed enough to explain what I'm supposed to be doing.
Solution Manager 7.0 EhP1 SAPKITL435.
If we try to do a "Help - Create Support Message" from within our production Solution Manager system, the "Reported by" field is correct, but the Sold-To Party is blank.
If we try to do a "Help - Create Support Message" from within our non-production Solution Manager system, both the "Reported by" and Sold-To Party fields are blank.
If we try to do a Help - Create Support Message" from another SAP system whose RFC is pointing to our non-production Solution Manager system, both the "Reported by" and Sold-To Party fields are blank.
I've looked at IB52, as well as the SPRO activities under "Partner Determination Procedure." I think a big part of my problem is that they just don'e make sense to me yet, because I can't figure out what I should be changing.
For example, IB52 looks to me like it only applies if you want to assign something to the same person all the time. Am I missing something there, or is that an answer to a different question?
I also can't figure out if I need to create something new in "Define Access Sequences," or modify something existing, and, if I modify, to what?
Does anyone know where I could find specific instructions for setting this up?

Hi Brenda,
Regargind this issue, please check if Sold-To party is maintained for
your system with IB52 in your solman system as the steps below:
SOLUTION MANAGER system
->IB52
->select the system on left hand side
->click on 'goto' on top menu
->Select 'partner'
->Now maintain Sold-To party
Also check below note:
1165357 Sold-to-Party is not assigned to Service Desk messa
As you said ou already assigned then i would request you to please check if you have assigned at the system level or not. Somtimes people define at top of the tree and also at system level. Please assign at system level and delete all other. Most of the times this is the issue Sold-to-party doesnt fill automatically.
For reported by field:
Please check the note: 824640: Customizing missing for Service Desk in Solution
read this note carefull and this will help you fixing the reported by issue.
Please, make sure you have applied the following corrections:
1439191 Incident Create: Message Reporter or Processor is not saved
1486132 Incident Create: Enhance search help of Reporter field
1497700 Work center: Message details not updated after refresh
After this if you still having issue you need to provide more details but i think this will fix the issue.
Thanks

Crystal Reports for VS2010 using a custom SAP ABAP function module data source

I recently worked with Crystal Reports 2011 and was able to connect and retrieve data from our R/3 system via an ABAP function module. While researching other features, I found this version that can be installed into Visual Studio 2010. The parameters are not very user friendly in Crystal Reports so I was hoping to create a custom dialog to collect my report parameters.
Does anyone know if I were to install Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010, would I be able to design a front-end selection screen in a Visual Basic form and then pass the input to through the Crystal Reports connection to my ABAP function module to retrieve the data filtered on the back-end by the selection screen parameters and return the results to be reported in the Crystal Reports output?
I am using Visual Studio 2010 Professional Visual Basic with the .NET Framework 4.0 on 32-bit Windows 7. I was able to connect to our R/3 system in Crystal Reports 2011, so if I were to install Crystal Reports for VS2010, would there be a similar way of connecting to SAP?
Any assistance or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bryan

Hello Bryan
I don't know for sure, but I doubt this will work in CRVS2010. Only hope is that the utility available for download in this KBA will point you in the right direction.
