Issues while migrating crystal report 10.5 to Crystal 2011 64 bit version

Hi
We were using crystal report 10.5 and we have now we wanted to migrate to Crystal 2011. We haev migrated our .Net code from .Net 1.1 to .Net 4.0. Now we are moving on to convert .Net application as a pure 64 bit componet. We DO NOT want to select the option ' Enable 32 bit application' IN IIS. So Our app will run as 64 bit component.I have upgraded Crystal with V 2011 and also installed Crystal report for Visual studio 2010. I have tried a POC to create a dummy report [ in Crystal 2011] with Db connection and it created successfully. BUT when i try to run the existing report template it fails, with follwing error. Also the template when i opened for first time , prompted for whether u wanted to upgrade , i chose Yes BUT nothing helped.
Does the crystal can successfully migrate to 32 bit to 64 bit? Or should we create new template in 64 bit and redo everything
{"Database Connector Error: ' [Database Vendor Code: 8114 ]' Error in
File temp_288e56fe-eca4-43aa-80d7-c89724874189 {3287A6AC-9092-4805-9D3C-7B49669B4D98}.rpt
:Database Connector Error"} System.Exception any idea about how to migrate this old 32 template to 64 bit form. i have just reopened the templates using latest version but not helping

Moved to .NET SDK forum
Search here for runtime and install CR for VS 2010.
There is no SDK install with CR for 2011, it's runtime if CR for VS 2010.

Performance issue while opening the report

HI,
I am working BO XI R3.1.there is performance issue while opening the report in BO Solris Server but on window server it is compratively fast.
we have few reports which contains 5 fixed prompt 7 optional prompt.
out of 5 fixed prompt 3 prompt is static (it contains 3 -4 record only )which is coming from materlied view.
we have already use many thing for improve performance in report like-
1) Index Awareness
2) Aggregate Awareness
3) Array fatch size-250
3) Aray bind time -32767
4) Login time out -600
the issue is that before refresh opening the report iteslf taking time 1.30 min on BO solris server but same report taking time in BO window server 45 sec. even we import on others BO solris server it is taking same time as per old solris server(1.30 min).
when we close the trace in solris server than it is taking 1.15 sec time.it should not be intial phase it is not hitting more on database.so why it is taking that much time while opening the report.
could you please guide us where exectly problem is there and how we can improve performance for opening the report.In case the problem related to solris server so what would be and how can we rectify.
Incase any further input require for the same feel free to ask me.

Hi Kumar,
If this is happening with all the reports then this issue seems to be due to firewall or security settings of Solaris OS.
Please try to lower down the security level in solaris and test for the issue.

Crystal Reports 2008 connecting to Crystal Server 2011

Hello SAP Experts,
I am new with the Crystal Client/Server platform and the only knowledge I have with the infrastructure is from the Crystal Server 2011 documentation I have pulled from SAP's website. I have looked at a lot of online resources but very few have the answers that I need.
I built an instance of Crystal Server 2011 running on Windows Server 2008 R2. Our clients are currently using Crystal Reports 2008 client where they connect directly to a SQL 2008 Data Warehouse to pull reports.
For security reasons, they want to implement Crystal Server 2011 to connect to the SQL 2008 Data Warehouse as a single point of entry, instead of having several Crystal Reports 2008 clients connecting to the SQL Data Warehouse.
The idea is to have the clients connect to the Crystal Server; the Crystal Server will then connect to the SQL Data Warehouse so clients can pull reports from it.
My questions are:
1. Is it possible to connect a Crystal Reports 2008 client to Crystal Server 2011? If so, how do I accomplish this?
2. Do I need to create a Universe in order for the Crystal clients to pull data/reports from the SQL 2008 Data Warehouse? Or is there a way I can create a connection without a Universe?
Any help offered is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Check our site for more info but in general CR fully respects all DB security, if the user does not have permissions on the table used in the report the report will fail to run.

Upgrade from crystal report 8.5 to crystal report 2011

Hi All,
Currently we are using crystal report 8.5 (PEAPI and dictionary files) (with VB6) to generate historical data for our product. Reports can have millions of records. We are using 2-tier architecture ( our client resides on windows machine and database
- Oracle10g dedicated server- resides on linux server).
We are planning to upgrade it to CR2011(with .NET)
My understanding is :
Crystal report designed in SAP Crystal Report 2011/SAP Crystal Reports(version for Visual Studio 2010)/.NET SDK for CR2011 and developed in VS2010 will use Crystal Reports(version for Visual Studio 2010) runtime. Please comment.
Is there any way to use PE APIs in Crystal report 2011 ? If not which is the best way to upgrade ?
Please comment.
Thanks,
Gaurav

Hello,
Not sure which viewer you are using, should be CR.Windows.Form and in code using RAS ( Report Application Server ) you'll get these options which are now controllable by you to allow all or just some:
private void ViewReport_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    rptClientDoc = rpt.ReportClientDocument;
    //crystalReportViewer1.ShowProgressAnimation(false);
    crystalReportViewer1.ShowGroupTreeButton = false;
    crystalReportViewer1.EnableDrillDown = false;
    //rpt.Refresh();
    crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = rpt;
    // next line causes a delay due to the engine having to go to the last page.
    //rpt.FormatEngine.GetLastPageNumber(new ReportPageRequestContext());
// set up the format export types:
int myFOpts = (int)(
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.RptFormat |

    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.ExcelFormat |
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.ExcelRecordFormat);
    //CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.NoFormat); // show no export types
    //int myFOpts = (int)(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.AllFormats);
crystalReportViewer1.AllowedExportFormats = myFOpts;
Only change is the Excel Export formats have changed, and no option to use the old Excel types available in CR 8.5. Search Kbase for Exporting to Excel, there is a great article on how to optimize your reports for best output.

Comparison between Crystal Report Server XI R1, Crystal Report Server XI R1 , Business objects Enterpirse XI R1 and BOXI R2?

Hello Everybody,
I am new to Business Objects Enterprise. I need to know what is differnce between Crystal Report Server XI R1and Crystal Report Server XI R1 ; Business objects Enterpirse XI R1 and BOXI R2?
As a beginner, it will be very much helpful for me to learn in a better way and to go in the right track.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Annapoorani

Annapoorani,
I will start off with the basic difference beteen Crystal Report Server and Business Objects Enterprise. We can continue on after this initial bit of information.
Essentially, Crystal Report Server is a much like a subset of the full Enterprise Product line. Whereas CRS is used for storing and scheduling Crystal Reports, the Enterprise product extends this usability to also include Desktop Intelligence Reports as well as Web Intelligence reports. There are also added features available with the full Enterprise Suite (depending on the licensing and installation) that also provide Performance Management, Dashboards and other enhancements.
In the sence of XI vs XIR2, XIR2 is more up to date with fixes and service packs. You will find the original XI products to be closer to an end of lifecycle when it comes to support.
As well, the newest release not mentioned in your line of questioning is Business Objects XI3.0. Currently this is a java based deployment, but there will be a .NET version forthcoming. Many new features have been added and you can find more information directly at www.businessobjects.com pages. There is a full section on the website that outlines the various products.

Issue while opening webi reports using OpenDoc url in Chrome browser

Hi
We are in SAP BI4.0 SP7. We are facing weird issue while opening the webi report via OpenDoc url in chrome. we are facing the below issue only in chrome and it works perfectly in IE and Firefox.
For the first time the report gets opened properly(when a session is created). If we try to open the same report from the same machine in a different browser tab, report gets opened up without any Tables\charts. We could see only a blank page with just the Report Tab name at the bottom. If we do refresh on the page, the report opens up correctly. We have checked for packet drops and there is no such thing. Is there any setting that we should make to resolve this. Your help is appreciated.
thanks
Gokul

Hello Gokul,
first thing is to check is if your chrome version is supported by your current BO version as specified in the PAM (is it?). If the chrome version is supported, and you still have an issue, then you can check with a sap support engineer.
best regards,
Victor

Authorization Issue while running a report

Hi Experts,
We are facing strange issue in authorizations while runnung a report. When we givel '*' company code access to the users they are able to run the report. When we give one single company code specific access to the users they get error message : No Authorization or everything filtered Out".
Please let me know how can i debug the same.
Company code specific access along with sales grp, profit ctr, sales employee are maintained in a ODS in BW.
Thanks
Gaurav

Hi,
When you use authorization relevant char in your report, you should create a variable of type authorization.
The variable input may be mandatory or optional.
By doing this, the default values will pop-up in the variable input screen when the user tries to execute the report.. It is also relevant to mention that the user cannot enter any blank values for the authorization variables unless he/she got * access for that particular character.
Also do not hardcode any values for authorization relevant char inthe report.
It will throw error No Authorization.

Java Script issue while migrating WAD 3.x to 7.0

Dear Experts,
Below is the script which I had written for a report on WAD 3.x.
<script type="text/javascript">
var Elements=document.getElementsByTagName('TD');
for(var i=0;i<Elements.length;i++) {
 if(Elements[i].innerText=='-3.00') {
 Elements[i].innerText='0';
 if(Elements[i].innerText=='-1.00') {
 Elements[i].innerText='YES';
 if(Elements[i].innerText=='-2.00') {
 Elements[i].innerText='NO';
 if(Elements[i].innerText=='1.000-') {
 Elements[i].innerText='YES';
 if(Elements[i].innerText=='2.000-') {
 Elements[i].innerText='NO';
While executing the report, it repaced the HTML values with text values.
After migrating the report to WAD 7.0, the script stopped working. Please let me know how to achieve this in WAD 7.0.
Thanks,
Ravi

You need not to call the script. Since you are using the Script web item, it gets executed automatically when you execute the web template.

Crystal Reports Server 2008 (Linux) - Crystal Reports/MySQL/ODBC Issue

Hello,
I have successfully installed CRS '08 on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 server. All services run fine.
In the CMC, I have uploaded a Crystal Report that connect to a remote MySQL server.
I have installed the My SQL ODBC 3.51.11 and .12 Drivers as a System DSN.
I have proven that the reports run fine in Crystal Reports 2008 directly against the remote MySQL DB server.
(in Windows but with the same 3.51 ODBC Drivers)
I have also proven that the database connection works okay from the CRS '08 Red Hat server to the remote MySQL DB server, when also creating a system DSN (using bash ./ODBCConfig)
The problem is that when I log into the CMC or InfoView, and when I run the Crystal Reports from there, I get an error message:
"Error in File <MyCrystalReport>: Failed to load database information"
Is there something wrong with my specific Crystal Reports' Database Configuration? (Right click- Database Configuration)
I see the driver was registered correctly in the /etc/odbc.ini file
Am I supposed to set any other ODBC environment variables?
Is there are firewall issue (port 3306 is already open)?
In summary, the install was successful, and Crystal Reports can be uploaded and viewed via CMC or InfoView, but I cannot run the Crystal Reports against the database.
Please advise, Thanks!

Hi, I'm facing a similar problem. My ODBC DSN never works with CRS. Here are the details: 
(1) I installed the CRS 2008 in /opt/crystalreportsserver_2008_v1/ on a Linux platform. The CRS works well. I created a report with Crystal Reports 2008. This report directly connects to a MySQL server. After I published the report and manually modify its database configuration, I can browse it from InfoView. I'm sure that CRS, MySQL, and a report connecting to MySQL are all good. 
(2) Then, I created an ODBC DSN on a Windows platform. This DSN connects to a MySQL server. I created another report with Crystal Reports using this DSN. The report can show the data within Crystal Reports. 
(3) Then, I published the second report to CRS, but when I try to browse it, I always get such a message: Failed to open the connection. 
I have configured the ODBC for CRS on the Linux server and I think the configuration is correct. This is how I do that: I edited the /opt/crystalreportsserver_2008_v1/bobje/odbc.ini file. In the file I added a data source called ods_telstar. Following is the content of the file: 
[ODBC Data Sources] <
CRSQLServerWP=DataDirect 5.3 SQLServer Wire Protocol Driver 
CRSybaseWP=DataDirect 5.3 Sybase Wire Protocol Driver 
CRText=DataDirect 5.3 Text Driver 
%SYBASEDSN%=DataDirect 5.3 Sybase Wire Protocol Driver 
ods_telstar = MySQL 
 
... 
 
[ods_telstar] 
Description = ODS on telstar 
Trace = Off 
TraceFile = stderr 
Driver = /opt/crystalreportsserver_2008_v1/bobje/enterprise120/linux_x86/odbc/lib/libmyodbc5.so 
SERVER = xxx 
USER = xxx 
PASSWORD = xxx 
PORT = 3306 
DATABASE = ods 
 
In the middle I removed some data source definitions that are by default in the file. Note that I use "xxx" to replace the server name, user, and password. Such information is for internal use and I'm sure the original information is correct. The MySQL ODBC driver file has been put in the correct location. Correct access permissions has been assigned to the file. 
I've tried to restart the CRS server, but still the report using ODBC DSN cannot be viewed. 
The reason that we want to user ODBC DSN is that we may have many reports to publish. When we design the reports, we specify that they get data through an ODBC DSN such as ods_telstar. If we configure the same DSN on CRS, then we don't need manually modify each report's configuration after we publish them. If these reports are directly connecting to MySQL, then we have to manually modify each one's database configuration after we publish them. 
I've no idea what's wrong with all the setup. Any suggestions and comments are appreciated!

Linking issues while Migrating code from SUN CC 4.3 to SUN CC 5.8

Hello,
I am migrating code written in SUN CC 4.3 to SUN CC 5.8
I have compiled entire code with SUN CC 5.8 with -compact=4 option ,on machine with OS SunOS 5.8 Generic_Virtual sun4v sparc sun4v.
during linking phase i am facing issues like
(cd msggen; make CG="-fast -O3 -compat=4 -lC -features=extensions -i" all)

I felt like these issues are due to the standard header files. I am including the headers which comes with SUN CC 5.8 and I am using Rogue Wave rwav/ver09.1.
I am not getting any pointers to solve this issue,any pointer will be highly appriciated.
Thanks in advance,

}When you post a code example, it is best to copy/paste from actual code that you verified shows the problem. This example is nowhere near valid for any compiler, even with your suggested change.
- The class declarations are not terminated by a semicolon
- You can't call C::f1() using that syntax outside of class C or a class derived from class C because it is not a static function, and requires an object. You could call it as c.f1() if you had a c object of type C, except that f1() would still not be accessible.
The rules about accessibility have never changed. Please post an example that actually works with C++ 4.x or with C++ 5.x in -compat=4 mode, but that fails with -compat=5 mode.

Like this for operator overloading also , I haven't got any way to make function body available to function call, so i ve changed those functions to normal functions...I don't understand what you mean. An example would help.

what is a template cache?? How to delete it??
The template cache is also known as the template repository. See section 3.3.5 Template Repository in the Migration Guide. To delete the cache (repository) just remove the entire cache directory.

Another task of mine is, i am compiling a code written in SUN CC 5.5 to 5.8, would you suggest me the migration guide, I could get from 4 to 5 and 3 to 5 but
not from 5.5 to 5.8, I am not sure about in which compiler code is written but, I could able to compile the code with out compact option with SUN CC 5.5, CC 5.5 and 5.8 are fully compatible. There should be no migration issues. The exceptions would be invalid code that compiled due to a bug in the earlier compiler but is correctly diagnosed as an error with the later compiler. In rare cases, the later compiler has a bug not present in the earlier compiler (a regression). When found, regressions are fixed in patches. If you have an Oracle service contract, you can download patches from My Oracle Support. Otherwise, get the most recent compiler, which should not have those regressions.
but while trying to compile with 5.8 i am facing issues like
1. typecastingI would have to see an example.
2.virtual vector<int> getProcedureArgs() { return 0; } -----> Error: Cannot use int to initialize std::vector<int>
The compiler error message is correct. The function returns a vector<int>, but you can't create a vector<int> from an integer 0. That is, the vector template has several constructors, but none that accept a single integer argument.
At this point we have moved away from the original topic. If you have further questions, please start a new thread.

Issue while executing the report

Hello experts,
I have an issue related to executing the BI Report. In one report , i get an issue of Time Out, as the report is executed for a single day only with a single restriction. Also i execute the same report in RSRT, there also it gives a short dump. I checked the data into the related component for the same selection parameter values. here I get the data but it is creating issue while executing in RSRT or analyser or EP.
what is happening there am not able to understand. please advice.
Also searched in SDN but not get the relevant thread.
Thanks in advance
Neha

hii
The query does not includes any RKF, CKF any complex calculations. as I said before also query is based on MP which is designed on a single Cube. There are no such navigational Attributes used for selection, Number of records are not more than 300 on that particular selection parameter
there is only one info object which is creating issue & it is a master info object. If i am restricting this info object in the query & then executes the query , it gives the error msg also i put a variable for input parameter, & there I restrict the value, then also query executes with an error msg
But if query is not restricted with any value for that info object then query executes with in a second.
Thanks

Issue while exporting the report to other formats

When the rpt file created in the BO server is used to view the report through the report viewer, there are export options available to choose from. If this export option is tried as MSExcel or Word document, the alignment, page headers and all are not coming in the same way like in the one generated through the PDF.

Hi aparmar,
Which version of the Crystal Report and Business Objects you are using?
Which SDK's you are using in your application to export the report to RTF format?
Also if you are using JRC in your application, you can follow the given link:

Visual Studio 2005 deploy Crystal Report to Windows Server 2008 64-bit

I've read a lot of posts here regarding deploying on a 64-bit server, but I'm still confused.
We use Visual Studio 2005 to develop on a Windows XP machine. We use the built-in version of Crystal that comes with VS2005.
We want to deploy the runtime to a Windows Server 2008 running 64-bit. We want to deploy using the msi runtime components and not the merge modules.
We end up with the message "An error has occurred while attempting to load Crystal Reports".
So, the question is, can we build & deploy a 64-bit version, and if so, what are we doing wrong here ? At first glance, I don't see VS 2005 as listing Windows 2008 as a supported platform, so am I dead in the water right there ? If that's the case .... then what are my options ?
Any help or pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated !
Thank You,
Wayne

In a nut shell, the only two 64 bit versions of Crystal Reports are 10.2 (bundles with .NET 2005) and 10.5 (bundles with .NET 2008). All other versions of Crystal Reports are 32 bit only. For more info see [this|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/10d5fa88-2013-2c10-c9a5-f11963607d4e] article.

SAP B1 Crystal Reports Add On and Crystal Report 2008

Hi,
I have posted the question at SAP Reporting Forum, but not much luck.
The following reports is created in Crystal report 2008.
From http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/cr2008V1/en/CR2008_SP2_Fixed_Issues_en.pdf, I tnocie there could be moemry leak for Sybase Connectivity, but we are using ODBC.
My client is using SAP 2007 SP00 PL49, SAP Crystal Report Add on is 2.0.0.7 and they have Beas 6.70.07
They have encountered problem "The request cannot be submitted for background processing" after printing about 8 times of the same reports consecutively. It is a work order reports which my clients prints for one operations at a time, with each operations generated 8 pages of output. There are 5 jpeg on the report, which is not huge.
Yes, I am aware there could be any problem related to that.
What I notice is, on the workstation with SAP Business One client running, whenever user print a report named "Work Order", in the temp folder it creates one .rpt and 26 tmp files (Note that I have made up the number)
Work Order {C0ECP901-C6F6.......}.rpt
~cpe{51DD9109........}.tmp
~cpe{71DD9109........}.tmp
~cpe{52DD9109........}.tmp
~cpe{53DD9109........}.tmp
~cpe{54DD9109........}.tmp
At the moment, for a temporary solutions, everytimes when the error comes up, my client have to log off from SAP Business One, clear the temp folder and then relogin before they can print the same report.
Anyone encounter the problem and manage to resolve. it.
Edited by: Shwu Hua Gan on Aug 12, 2010 8:43 AM

In case anyone is interested.
I managed to drill down and get around with the following solutions. Still in progress of monitoring, but seems to solve part of the problem.
1. Open up the JPEG in Accessories--> Paint and notice that the JPEG is too big and cannot be seen without adjustting the scrolling bar. Reduce the image size seems to work.
2. The report is using dynamic graphic and reading JPEG path from a UDT with column 'type' and 'path'. Subreport is used with record selection Type='Precheck'. When there was no Precheck type JPEG, it seems to crash. We have asked client to add in type='precheck' and hyphen in path when it is not applicable. In that sense, it will return something to the report.
3. We also have subreport that read material issues. when there was no material issue in the subreport, it crash. So, we do the following:
- section express - tick suppress blank section
- right click subreport, tick suppress blank subreport.
- in Subreport, at report option, we select suppress printing when no records.
Note that workaround in point 3 does not seem to work for pictures. So, it might be worth suppressing with formulas.
