Load Balancing Crystal Reports 10

Is load balancing Crystal Reports 10 supported? I have heard that it isn't and wanted to either confirm or un-confirm that statement.
If Load Balancing is supported what are the scenarios that would be supported?
Thanks.

CR 10 is out of support and not enough info.
Why would you want to load balance Crystal Reports? Only one user can open the Report Designer to edit a report. Or have you figured out how to have more than one person using one computer at the same time? If so then refer to the licensing PDF file, each user must have his own copy of Crystal Reports installed or a keycode per user.
So No, Crystal Reports does not support load balancing.
But of course my answer is only answering what you asked.... which is likely not what you mean.
Please see the Rules of Engagement on how to submit a question.
Thank you

An error has occurred while attempting to load the Crystal Reports runtime in deployed applications

My reports use to work but now i'm getting the following error on all reports in all the applications on my server
An error has occurred while attempting to load the Crystal Reports runtime.
Either the Crystal Reports registry key permissions are insufficient or the Crystal Reports runtime is not installed correctly.
Please install the appropriate Crystal Reports redistributable (CRRedist*.msi) containing the correct version of the Crystal Reports runtime (x86, x64, or Itanium) required. Please go to http://www.businessobjects.com/support for more information.

Hi Willingtolearnja,
This forum is for TFS, I'd like to know whether you use TFS and your question is related to TFS. It would be better to let us know more details about your scenario if it's related to TFS. If not, you might need to open a new thread in the proper tech forum
that your project related for a better response.
However, from the error message, you might use the wrong configuration for x86/x64 mode. Please change the configuartion and try again. Check the links below for more information:

If you have your AppPool set for 32 bit then install the 32 bit runtime, if it's set for 64 bit then install the 64 bit runtime.
Try searching, lots of posts on this subject.

BW Query does not load to Crystal Report

Hi,
I'm trying to create a Crystal Report based on existing SAP BW queries. I followed the steps provided after installing the SAP Integration Kit. Checked 'Use MDX driver with support for multiple structures'.
On SAP menu > Create New Report from a Query.
Managed to login to the SAP server using my Logon credentials. Select the BW query and click OK.
The problem I have here is that the query never loads into Crystal Report with the Field Explorer. The cursor shows that the query is loading. I've tried on two different queries and it never loads unfortunately.
Please let me know if I missed out any steps or there are some issues with the connectivity. Any suggestions or ideas are appreciated. Thank you.

Very slow loading time - Crystal Reports Viewer 2008

Hi,
I search this forum to find another thread regarding this issue. Since I've found nothing in particular, I started this one.
We are currently developping a new report engine based on the .Net Crystal Report Viewer. This engine will be used in our applications to show, print and export reports. We based the engine on the Crystal Report 2008 version (12.0.2000). The code is in C#, targeted on the Framework 3.5 SP1. For the CR runtime, we tested on machines with the SP2 and SP3 versions, as well as on a computer with Crystal Report Developper installed (v12.3.0.601) with no runtimes. Since the runtime is in x86 only, the engine is compiled in x86 (not ANY CPU)
When we try to open a report in an application, the first report loading is unusally slower than the others. If I open a report, close it and open it a second time, the second time is much faster than the first. While reading the threads, I realized that the first load implies some assembly loading from the Framework (which is normal).
But since i can take as long as 20-30 seconds to load the first report, I ran some test. Using the System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.AssemblyLoad event, I've tracked the assemblies being loaded when opening the report and the start time of the loading. I've discovered that, while most of the CR assemblies takes less than 500 milliseconds to load, there is one that takes at least 3 seconds (20 seconds sometimes) to load : BusinessObjects.Licensing.KeyCodeDecoder. Each time I ran the tests, it is the assembly that is the slowest (and by far) among them all.
Prior to this, we were using Delphi with the Crystal Report 10 runtime. We never had such issues. Now, some customers are complaining about this behavior.
For you information, we are using the ReportDocument.Load() method to load documents. Our reports are all dynamically linked to the database with the DataSourceConnections.SetConnection() method. The report is being loaded in the viewer using the CrystalReportViewer.ReportSource property.
Why does it takes so long to load/execute ? Is there something implied with registry keys or Internet access ? Is there a way to speed up things ?
Thanks !

Thanks for your help Don ! :o)
I know that the CR10 runtime was built on win32 and while I knew that the .Net version of the runtime would be slower due to the Framework and .Net architecture, we did not expect such differences between the two methods.
You are right that the hardware could play a great factor here, but since I work on this machine for a few years now and I saw the performance from the old CRPE32.dll and the new .Net counterpart, I am really surprised that there is such a difference. Most of our customers have entry-level desktops and our application always ran well on it, until now.
So, if it is the way that the CR 2008 runtime works, do you know if your developpers optimized this part with the next version (CR 2010) or it is based on the same engine ?
Thanks again for your time !

Load Balancing in Report Server

I'm running Reports 6.0 and OAS 4.0.8 and am using client/server legacy forms & reports. I'm calling reports (with parameter file) from a form. I'm calling the form using show.web_product and paramform=html.
My problem is that I can't get the server queue to accept more than 1 job at a time. The load balancing features of OAS/Reports means that there has to be at least 20 or so reports queueing (source - Oracle Support) before a new engine will switch in - even if you specified more than one minimum at start-up. If a report is running everybody has to wait for it to finish. That includes those waiting for the parameter screen as this has to be created by the report server as well.
As we are running an intranet with less than 300 users it's unlikely that we are going to get the throughput. I've tried saturating the queue with small scheduled jobs (which do invoke new engines) but these engines disappear as soon as the job is finished.
The only work round is to recreate the parameter forms in a web form. Something that is going to take a lot of effort given the number of reports that already have parameter forms.
Has anybody else come across this? You can't all be General Motors or BP..

Load Balancing Oracle Reports in Report Server

We have 3 Apps box in the production clustered environment. The load balancing is taken care of and when users are trying to connect to the production, they provide the virtual name and Apps server get them connected to any one box. However, when any user try to run a report from the menu, we have to specify the exact report server name. For eg like this
http://xyz.dc4.pqe/reports/rwservlet?*server=rep_dtgadmapps103_AS10g_mtier*&report=/apps/dis/bin/DISRATN.rep&desformat=pdf&destype=cache
Is there any way to configure a virtual report server name, so the Apps server could take care of the load balancing. Otherwise all the reports are getting flocked to a single server and the queue gets long.
Thanks in advance.

Opening Balance and closing Balance - Crystal Report

Hi,
We have a report with account number, date , opening balance , closing balance and transaction amount. we had grouped the report by account. User will run the report with set of date range and we need to find the minimum date to find the opening balance and maximum date to find the closing balance and display them in the account group header for each account.
WhilePrintingRecords;
NumberVar CBal;
If {Command.VALUEDATE}= Maximum({Command.VALUEDATE}) then
CBal= {Command.CLOSINGBALANCE};
+CBal;
It is showing the closing balance and opening balance in the account group footer. but we could not able to show in the account group header.
Regards,
Sreeni

The easiest way to do this is NOT use variables.
Sort the data in date order ascending.
Then simple place the date field in Group header, details and footer.
Header will now show first date and Footer last date.

Crystal reports 2008 sp3 : An error has occurred while attempting to load t

Hello,
Please forgive me for posting in the CR .NET forum because we are using the full Crystal Reports 2008 product and I did not see a category for it. If there is a better forum for this question, please let me know or feel free to move it.
We are having trouble deploying our crystal reports 2008 reports to a Windows Server 2008 R2 server in an aspx application...
I have been working on this issue for 4-days and cannot seem to make any progress, so I would really appreciate your help.
Our Environment:
Development Computer (32-bit, WinXP)
VS2008 (fully updated, was not installed with its Crystal Reports feature)
Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 (downloaded and installed "cr2008_sp3_fullbuild")
Database Server (64-bit)
"SERVER2" is a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 server, fully updated
Web Server (64-bit)
"SERVER3" is a Microsoft Server 2008 R2 Web server.
We have an application that is installed on the Web server and it pulls data from the database server.
The webpages are accessing the database properly. There is a ShowReport.aspx webpage that has the
CrystalReportsViewer on it. We send parameters and logon information to ShowReport.aspx. ShowReport
works properly on our development computer and the report looks good, but it fails on the web server.
We downloaded CRRuntime_12_3_mlb.msi (X86) from SAP/CR and installed it on the web server without any issues.
Our application pool on the web server for this application is set to 32-bit mode. When I launch the
application, it works properly with the database and displays data on web pages, but when I try to
view a report on ShowReport, I get the following error message:
An error has occurred while attempting to load the Crystal Reports runtime.
Either the Crystal Reports registry key permissions are insufficient or the Crystal Reports runtime is not installed correctly.
Please install the appropriate Crystal Reports redistributable (CRRedist*.msi) that contains the version of the Crystal Reports runtime (x86, x64, or Itanium) that is required.
According to everything that I have read, I have properly matched the DLLs: On the development computer, "cr2008_sp3_fullbuild" was installed; On
the web server, "CRRuntime_12_3_mlb.msi (X86)" was installed. They are both Crystal Reports 2008 and not .NET. CR.NET was not installed on our development computer, so our application was built with full Crystal Reports 2008 SP3. On our development computer, .ENGINE is 12.0.2000.0 and
the same version is on the web server.
So, I am completely at a loss as to why we are encountering this error. Help, Please!!!
Thank you in advance,
Mike

Hi Mike,
Did you set your project for X86 mode only? If not do so and rebuild and deploy your app.
Thank you

Error while trying to load Crystal report via Windows service

Hi,
I am trying to generate PDF file using crystal reports. I have developed a console application which works absolutely fine, however when I converted the code to work as windows service (wcf hosted in Windows service), this below error I see from stack trace:
Load report failed.
at CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportClientDocumentWrapper.EnsureDocumentIsOpened()
at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.Load(String filename, OpenReportMethod openMethod, Int16 parentJob)
at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.Load(String filename)
at AtDataWindowsService.GetData.generatePDF(DataTable dt)
The code used is:
CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType exportFormat;
ReportDocument reportObj = new ReportDocument();
exportFormat = CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat;
//Load the Crystal Report
reportObj.Load("CrystalReport.rpt");
reportObj.SetDataSource(dt);
What might be going wrong here?

Hello,
Thank you for your post.
Based on your description, I am afraid that the issue is out of support of VS General Question forum which mainly discusses
WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System
and Visual Studio Editor.
I suggest that you can consult your issue directly on SAP Crystal Reports:

Failed to Load database information - Crystal report with XML as datasource

Hello Friends:
I am getting the attached error when i try to load the Crystal Report with XML as data source.
I have designed the crystal report with the sample XML provided with XSD schema (PFA I have attached the XML and XSD). It is working as expected on design time. But it is failing when I load it from C# code.
Note: I have referred the following DLLs of version 13.0.2000.0 in my sample application.
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Design.dll
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll
Please let me know what should be done in order to resolve this.
Thank you!

All I know is that you are using 'SAP Crystal Reports, Developer Version for Visual Studio .NET". No idea what service pack or what version of .NET...
So. make sure you are on SP 9:
SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio: Updates & Runtime Downloads
Search for KBA 1525432 (search box is in top right corner) and follow the instructions there.
Remove your reference to CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Design.dll
Add the following references:
CrystalDecisions.Shared
CrystalDecisions.ReportSource
CrystalDecisions.Web (if web app)
CrystalDecisions.Windows (if win app)
I'd also recommend commenting out the export code for now; one step at a time. Get it to work in the viewer, then move on... No Big Bangs

Needs a solution for loading Crystal Report

Hi.....
I have already desiged & loaded crystal reports through SAP B1 Main Menu.
But I need help (Code in C#.Net) for loading a crystal report template(already created) for a System form (eg; A/R Invoice) immediately after the form load by a menu click(means through UI interface)
and report generated by identifying the Forms Document Number.

HI...

Load balancing Reports Services 10g with WebCache?

Hi Guys
Does anybody have any good ideas on how to load balance Oracle Reports Services?
Can I do it with WebCache as with Forms Services?
/Jacob :)

My java application resides in a different server (weblogic) from the Oracle Application server (which has the report server). I do a browser redirect from my java application to a URL of OAS . I have hard coded Oracle Application server and report server name in one of my config files in my java weblogic server
In the above URL, servername:7770 is the Oracle Application Server. I would not have a problem with this since this will be the name of the cluster.
But the problem is server=<report server> . The report server which will pickup my request will be identified only after the browser has redirected to the URL. SO I cannot hard code it in my ajava application.
Can I just remove server=<report server name> when generating URL from my java application when I need to run report server in a clustered load balancing environment?
Sorry if my earlier post was confusing

Slowness in Loading Crystal Report

Hi Experts,
We are using Crystal Report 2008 with SAB B1 - 2007 B PL 13.
The Loading of Crystal report viewer and criteria window is too slow.
When we loads CR viewer for the first time it takes 30-40 secs to load. Criteria window takes another 20 secs.
For subsequent loading, Viewer takes 15-20 secs and criteria window takes another 15 secs.
Is this normal ?
If it is not what should be the normal?
Is there any tips to improve the performance?
Thanks and regards
Ajith G

Thanks Gordon,
We found out the real bottle neck. That was the Cytrix server.
By default there is a delay for CR to start for the first time. This attributes to loading of .Net dll files and connection to DB
Thanks and regards
Ajith G
