Is Developer License key enough for Crystal Report XI RDC Distribute?

Hai,
I have Crystal report XI with Developer License key.I am used the RDC concept in my application and i want distribute the CR XI RDC. Is it enough for distribute the CR XI to my clients?
Thanks
Kesavan

Yes it is. If you are using CR XI R1 (11.0) you may want to consider upgrading to CR XI R2 (11.5). You can do this by simply downloading the install from here:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006008462008E/crxir2.zip
If you will go to CR XI R2, save your CR XI R1 keycode as you will use it to install R2. uninstall CR XI R1 before installing R2. Once that is done, apply SP6 to get the latest fixes:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100015859952009E/crxir2win_sp6.exe
XI R2, SP6 RDC runtime is here:

    Hi,
    We have a license for Crystal Report XI.  However we need Crystal Reports Release 2 since we are using .Net 2.0.  I just tried installing the Crystal Reports Server on out test web server and it would not accept the license key we have.  Do we need to get a new key?

    Hi....
      I am Working on Asp.Net Crystal reports, I had deployed the application on client side,is it necessary to get license for crystal report redistributable at client side(not at developer side)?. If so how to get license and what is the cost for getting license any idea....

    You will need to talk to sales about specifics as it all depends on what version of the product you are using.
    Typically if you are using a stand alone version either the customer would need to have a licensed copy of CR or you will need to have purchased the [Developer Advantage|http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/reporting-dashboarding/reporting/developeradvantage/index.epx]

  • License for Crystal Report for Visual Studion 2005

    Hi All,
    I am developing reports for my application using crystal reports for VS 2005.  I read on microsoft site (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318102 ) that the free server software supports three active requests to the server.  It further says that developer will need to purchase additional licenses to increase scalability.  I think that our application would need the additional license.  However, i was unable to find a link on business objects site were i can buy the additional license for crystal report for VS 2005.  The link takes me to license for Crystal report 2008.  It would be great if you can answer my following questions:
    - what version of crystal reports do we need to purchase?
    - do we need license for each implementation or do we need license for the developers only.
    Thank you.
    Best regards,

    Great questions! Let's get at em, one at a time:
    How would you define a print job?
    - A print job will essentially be consumed any time the print engine (crpe32.dll) needs to  do work. So, processing one report = a print job. However, say you have one subreport, now the number of print jobs = 2. Now, say the subreport is in the details section and runs once per record. And you have 100 records. You will be running 1 + 100 print jobs. Paging to another page consumes a print job. Zooming consumes a print job, exporting and printing to a printer consumes a print job. So, depending on the report and the number of users, print jobs may be used up quite quickly. You can increase the print job limit by modifying the PrintJobLimit in the registry. For CR 2008, the reg entry is here:
    HKLMsoftware usiness objectssuite 12.0
    eport application serverinprocserver
    (the above is used irrespective of the SDK (CR, RAS, BOE))
    I am not using report viewer to render the report. I use 'ExportToDisk' method to save the report in word or pdf format. Does 'ExportToDisk' make one print job?
    - see above. Again, if the report has a subreport, this will consume at least two print jobs.
    How much time does a typical print job takes to complete?
    - no way to tell in general terms. There are too many variables that will affect this. From how complex the report to database connections to version of runtime
    What care shall I take to reduce the print job time?
    - Best you can do is ensure that you are destroying the report object once you are done with it (report.close, report.dispose)
    Will using Report Application Server (RAS) or Business Objects Enterprise increase the number of concurrent print jobs? If yes then by what amount?
    - no it will not
    To utilize Report Application Server (RAS) or Business Objects Enterprise, do I just need to use a specific SDK or is there some thing more to it?
    - You do need to use the RAS assemblies for RAS, BOE assemblies for BOE. More information is below.
    Sample RAS apps:
    https://boc.sdn.sap.com/samples/84/1194
    An article on RAS:

  • 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:

    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.

  • Best practise BW Query design for Crystal Reports integration

    Hi all,
    I am looking for a guide on best practices when designing a BW Query to be used as data foundation for a Crystal Report.
    The scenario is that I am responsible for developing the Crystal Reports part, but not the BW Query part, therefore I would like to provide a list of best practises to the person who is responsible for the Query, this way make sure that the integration will work as good as possible. The setup is of course using BO Integration Kit for SAP.
    An example is how to use authorization variables in the query to provide data security. This is just one example, there are problably a number of other things to be aware of. A document containing suggestions for best practices is what I am looking for, or if the document does not exist, input to what should be on such a list.
    Thank you in advance.
    Regards,
    Rasmus

    Hi Rasmus,
    in regards to the Best Practices for Crystal Reports you can leverage all the knowledge you have on the Query Design today already. if you not the person for designing the query I think it is important to make sure people designing the queries do understand how Crystal Reports is leveraging the elements from the BI Query.
    /people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2008/02/19/businessobjects-and-sap-part-2
    You should try to put as much as possible into the BI query from the logic point of view.
    and you can also build common BI queries - there is no need to build a BI query for each report.

  • Does Business Objects XI still support RDC for Crystal Reports?

    Post Author: DLO34
    CA Forum: Integrated Solutions
    My company develops an application which uses Crystal Reports to present data to the user. We have been using the RDC API through our internal C code for a while now. From the documentation I have found on this site I cannot be certain that BO XI will support RDC. I have found documents discussing the new RAS API and how to migrate applications to RAS. Will BO XI still support RDC or will we be required to write to the new RAS API? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Post Author: ejthunder
    CA Forum: Integrated Solutions
    Hello,
    The RDC is a development tool, so your post is better suited under the Development | Other category in the forums.
    The RDC is still supported in CR XI (v11.0) and CR XI R2 (v11.5).  The RDC has been depricated, so it's no longer receiving development focus, but it will still be supported for the lifecycle of the products it ships with.  No firm retirement date has been given to anyone yet, but it's likely that the RDC will be retired in the next release or two.
    The RAS API is a very powerful report design API, however it's not a true replacement for the RDC (unless you're using Report Creation API calls with the RDC now).  RAS can be used with the .NET, COM (ASP), and Java SDKs.
    Depending on how you actually use the RDC you'll want to consider which SDK you're going to migrate to - .NET, or Java, and then consider which API is appropriate.
    I hope this helps.

    So in case of using ADF, we should license Jdeveloper for each developer that uses it ?
    Let's say we have 2 projects at different clients both being developed with ADF and 4 developers working for them in a central location, all of them developing the application with the Jdeveloper embedded OC4J.
    Then for production we would have $5k per processor for each client + maintenance fees.
    And for development the minimum is to pay $1000 in this case ?
    So far I understood that while in development (and evaluation) we were able to use Jdeveloper and ADF for free, and when going into production then was where we need to pay the license.
    Indeed in http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/htdocs/jdevpricefaq.html#14 it says: "Developers will continue to be able to run Oracle ADF applications on the OC4J instance included with JDeveloper for testing and debugging."
    Anyone at Oracle that can clarify on this ?
    Thanks again,
    Claudio.

  • SAP Integration Kit for Crystal Reports

    Hello,
    I read Ingo Hilgefort's blog on BusinessObjects and SAP Part 2.
    /people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2008/02/19/businessobjects-and-sap-part-2
    Does the current trial version of crystal reports available from businessobjects.com have this integration kit embedded in it?
    If not, where can i find it?
    Regards,
    Suraj

    hi shenoy,
    SAP Integration Kit
    The SAP integration kit includes drivers to allow connectivity to both R3 and Business Warehouse (BW). In addition, it includes a BW toolbar for Crystal Reports, a specific version of InfoView with Role-based links, sample iViews for Enterprise Portal, and an SDK in Java, COM, or .NET.
    Reporting off R3 Data
    The kit includes two drivers to allow Crystal Reports to connect to the ABAP data dictionary via a remote function call or RFC.
    The Open SQL driver allows the user to connect to SAP R3, displaying the field and the short text description of the tables and fields. The developer can then join the tables accordingly, using the database expert, and then select the relevant fields from which to report. This driver displays not only transparent tables, but includes views, pool tables, cluster tables, ABAP data clusters, and ABAP functions. This driver is geared toward a technical person with functional expertise in joining the tables and then creating the report.

This driver displays not only transparent tables, but includes views, pool tables, cluster tables, ABAP data clusters, and ABAP functions. This driver is geared toward a technical person with functional expertise in joining the tables and then creating the report.
    Note
    In Crystal Reports, you cannot check the SQL generated using the Show SQL Query option from the Database menu. You can check what Open SQL was generated by using SAP transactions.
    The InfoSet driver allows the user to connect to an existing InfoSet, as defined by SAP transaction SQ02. Alternatively, you can use an existing ABAP query, as defined by SAP transaction SQ01. The benefit of this driver is that the user does not need to know where the data is stored or how to join the tables. Another advantage is that any prompts defined in the InfoSet become parameters in Crystal Reports.
    Note
    To test the InfoSet query, run the InfoSet using your SAP GUI and ensure that it is pulling the required data first before testing it in Crystal Reports.
    Reporting off BW Data
    When reporting off of BW data, the Business Objects' Integration Kit consists of three drivers that are used to pull data.
    The BW Query driver enables the user to connect to a BW query. To enable selection of a query with this driver, Crystal Reports has its own toolbar, as shown in Figure 15.3, and the user needs to select the New Report icon from this toolbar. The user then selects the required BW query, and thus displays a listing of fields available in the query. The user can then create the report using any of those fields. Variables defined in the query automatically become Crystal Reports parameters. After the user has finished building the report, the user saves the report using the BW toolbar. This saves the report to BW, and if the user selects the option to do so, automatically publishes the report to Enterprise.
    Figure 15.3. Crystal Reports after the SAP integration kit is loaded. Note the SAP menu and BW toolbar.
    [View full size image]
    Two new drivers have been added to the XI R2 version of the SAP Integration Kit.
    The MDX query driver supports using Crystal Reports to report off either a SAP BW query or a BW Cube.
    Furthermore, it adds additional functionality by providing support for
    A structure in both the row and column of the BW query
    Hierarchy node and hierarchy node variables
    Free characteristics in a BW query
    The Operational Data Store or ODS driver exposes the ODS tables, so that they look much like the tables of any relational database. However, because of the structure of the objects, it considers them to be like a database stored procedure.
    Connecting to the ODS objects is not performed with the SAP toolbar described here, but rather by selecting the driver from the Data Explorer as shown in Chapter 1, "Creating and Designing Basic Reports." After the user has finished building the report, the report can be saved back to BW and published to Business Objects Enterprise by selecting the Automatically Publish to Enterprise check box, as shown in Figure 15.4.
    Figure 15.4. The additional options after saving a Crystal Report to SAP BW.
    Note
    This publishing method requires some setup. Please refer to the Installation documentation for further details.
    Note
    Both the ODS and MDX drivers require SAP transports to be loaded on the SAP BW system. Please refer to the Installation CD in the Transports folder for further details.
    Using OLAP or Web Intelligence to Report off BW Data
    Included in the SAP Integration Kit are specific drivers to allow OLAP Intelligence and Web Intelligence to report off of SAP BW.
    To connect to a BW cube or query using OLAP Intelligence, open the connection browser and select Add. Select SAP Business Information Warehouse and then proceed to fill in the relevant data, as shown in Figure 15.5.
    Figure 15.5. The information required to connect to a BW cube or query from OLAP Intelligence.
    [View full size image]
    After you are connected, select the query or cube and process to build the report, as described in Chapter 19, "Creating OLAP Intelligence Reports."
    Web Intelligence is new to XI R2 and requires that a universe be built on a BW Cube or Query. However, to aid in this process, Designer builds the universe for you. To do this, select SAP from the list of connects and fill out the required information, as displayed in Figure 15.6.
    Figure 15.6. The information required to connect to a BW cube or query from Web Intelligence.
    [View full size image]
    Finish the remainder of the wizard and when you click OK, Designer generates the Universe for you. It may be necessary to move some of the objects around to suit your needs, but when you are finished, export to Business Objects Enterprise.
    Note
    Only the BW query driver does not require the query be released for external access. The Web Intelligence, OLAP Intelligence, and MDX drivers require the user to release the BW query. To release a query, select the query properties in the BW Query Designer and select the Extended Tab and then check Allow External Access to This Query.
    Viewing the Reports
    Your SAP reports can be viewed either via the SAP integration kit's InfoView or via SAP Enterprise Portal 6. The integration kit provides a number of sample iViews that can be imported by a portal administrator. These include
    Folder iView The folders a user has access to are displayed, and from here a user can run her reports.
    Alert iView Shows all the alerts that have been triggered by Crystal Reports. The user can then click on the report to view the report. The creation of alerts is defined in Chapter 11, "Using Record Selections and Alerts for Interactive Reporting."
    Thumbnail iView This iView displays the Crystal Report as a thumbnail of the report. The user can then click on the thumbnail to run the report.
    Note
    These are sample iViews. The organization can create its own iViews via the provided SDK.
    BusinessObjects InfoView for SAP is a unique version of InfoView designed for integration with SAP BW systems. This integration includes features such as the ability to log on to InfoView using your SAP username and password. Related to authentication is the ability to access your roles and the Crystal Reports saved to these roles. The roles are defined in Enterprise as folders. The user can also schedule reports in the different languages loaded into SAP BW. This creates an instance for each language.

  • DB2 support for Crystal Reports for Enterprise And Unx errors

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to create a report in CrystalReports for Enterprise 4 sourcing data from Oracle 11 and IBM DB2 V9 databases. My first approach is to create relational connections for both the databases in the BO Repository (using Universe designer) and use them directley in the CR for Enterprise. Here I was able to create the two connections but unable to use the DB2 connnection in the report. I get the below error:
    "The Database DB2V9 is not supported".
    Is DB2 is a supported database for Crystal reports for Enterprise ??
    My second approach is to create a multisource universe using IDT. Here when I try to create the Datafoundation layer, I get to see the tables from the DB2 databasae but When I expand the Oracle connection, I get this error: "conversion from UTF8 to charset failed: encoding not loaded".
    Im unable to create a multisource universe at all no matter what connections I use.
    Here is some additional info:
    SAP BI4.1 SP1
    Windows 2008 R2 servers
    Oracle 11g
    IBM DB2 V9.7
    Any suggestions please!
    Thanks,
    Ravinder

    Hi,
    First of all I would strongly advice you to only use IDT for your universe development. The old Universe Designer is a legacy tool and should not be used unless you are using products that doesn't support IDT universes.
    The issue you are facing for your Oracle connection is likely caused by a missing path variable.
    Add "C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win64_x64" to the PATH environment variables on the SAP Business Objects Enterprise server.
    Restart the SIA
    NOTE: Modify the path in case the SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise is installed in different folder.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers,

  • Install configuration for Crystal Reports Viewer 2011

    Hi,
    Is there any way to configure the defaults for Crystal Reports Viewer 2011 as part of the installation routine?
    Specifically we would like to:
    1. Switch off the attempt (on launch) to make an internet connection for community resources
    2. Hide the side bar unless the user actually goes into the view menu to turn it on.
    There's various reasons for this, but mostly it's that to get an internet connection the application has to go through the proxy server - we would rather that sort of activity was instigated by the end user on demand, not an application automatically, not least in this case because the license agreement window seems to be set to force itself to the 'front', which covers the proxy server prompt, so we can't write a script to provide automatic authentication without user intervention. It would be far better if there was a way to simply switch off this feature - and at the same time set the default 'view' settings to hide the side bar in the first place.

    Hi,
    Do you mean the Standalone Crystal Reports Viewer 2008: http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/reporting/viewer/index.epx
    If you do then you can perform a slient install by following the instructions from the release notes:

  • Merge Module for crystal report 8.5

    Hi,
    I want merger module for crystal report 8.5 which can be used with VB 6 package and deployment wizard.
    Regards
    S. Muhilan

    Post Author: ejthunder
    CA Forum: Deployment
    Hello,
    Crystal never had merge modules for v8.5 - you have to build your own deployment package.  I think Wise or Installshield use to make their own merge modules way back in the day, but they were never supported by Crystal, and I doubt they're available anymore.
    Additionally, VB6's Package and Deployment Wizard does not support configurable merge modules.  Current versions of Crystal Reports (v10, v11.0, v11.5) require that the license msm (for RDC deployment) be configured with the keycode.  The PDW won't support this.
    I hope this helps.
