Migrating from RAS9 to Crystal Reports Server XI R2

We are currently in the process of migrating to CRS XI R2 from RAS9 and have come across an error thrown by some reports that we have been unable to find an answer to. We receive this error...
<blockquote>ErrorLog 2008 10 8 8:53:31.284 3092 5816 (\servers\ras\dtsagent\cdtsagent.cpp:3191): CDTSagent::doOneRequest reqId=103: CSResultException thrown. ErrorSrc:"CRPE" FileName:"\servers\ras\dtsagent\reporthandler.cpp" LineNum:5383 ErrorCode:753 ErrorMsg:"Error in File C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\INInventorySummaryReportNew {81403A5C-B335-45F5-9480-F1E55CA7A23C}.rpt:
Failed to logon to the Crystal Report Object Repository." DetailedErrorMsg:""</blockquote>
...in our RAS log. We've looked through our reports and while removing an image in some may no longer prompt the error, in others that is not the case.
Another question I had was: what is the proper way of calling a report from RAS in XI R2? How does the addition of the Entprise featureset/CMS change things from version 9?
Thanks!

Custom Paper Size : Migrating from 6i to 10g report server engine

Hi,
pardon my bad english !!
I'm studying to migrate form/reports 6i to 10G. In report 6i we have reports with custom paper size ("A5" format that is half of "A4", 15x21cm).
In report server 6i environment (Win2000 server) we have done this configuration.
- We configure printer; one input tray has "custom" format.
- We create an OS user (es. CustRep);this user has a "default printer" that has input tray with "custom" format as default tray.
- We create a new report server (es. CustRepSrv); this report server start as service with CustRep user credentials.
- Every report (PDF format) generated and printed (destype=printer,desname="My Printer") with CustRepSrv report server get custom format as paper size and so fit with Custom tray definition on the printer.
Can I do the same in report server 10G environment ??
Thanks

Migrating from 9IAS to 9IASR2 : report server troubleshooting

Hello
9IAS application server and report server were installed (OS : windows NT4).
We installed 9IASR2 instead of 9IAS (also installed following patches : 299.5671 infrastructure patch, 270.3110 Core patch, 251.7300 BD patch). Then, we have problem with web applications which launch reports (with acrobate 5.0) : the reports are correct, except accentued caracters or monay symbols which are no more correctly displayed.
We already tried to change NLS_LANG in base register (FRENCH_FRANCE.WE8MSWIN1252 -> WE8I808859P15), but it doesn't seem to have an impact.
I greatly thank any help

Hi Florian
The installer should have automatically updated the correct NLS_LANG variables. For French, it should be set to FRENCH_FRANCE.WE8ISO8859P1
You can also set DEVELOPER_NLS_LANG (for Reports Builder) and USER_NLS_LANG (for Reports runtime) to the same value.
For more information, you can read the online docs for NLS. See http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/A97329_01/bi.902/a92102/pbr_nls.htm#1005629.
If this is still occurring let me know and I can liase with the iAS team.

Migrating all configuration from Crystal Reports Server XI R2 to Crystal Server 2013

Hi,
We're running an old Crystal Reports Server XI R2 SP version (boe 11.5) and we're planning to start using Crystal Server 2013
As far as I know no upgrade is possible and that's not needed either.
Instead I'm interested in the migrate possibilities. I saw this thread but it doesn't answer all the questions https://scn.sap.com/thread/3462417
So first I will install Crystal Server 2013 on a new server and then I use some migrate tool.
Questions:
- does the migrate tool support migrating from my version CR server XI R2 SP1 to Crystal Server 2013 ?
- does the migrate tool copy all report schduling information (recurring schedule, destination etc)? We have ~1000 scheduled reports so doing manually is not an option
- does the migrate tool copy Business views/Business view connections ?
(- odbc data sources are probably not copied but that's ok)
-Mikael

Hi Mikael,
Since you're already on CR Server XI R2, you can use the Upgrade Management Tool to migrate all the content to CR Server 2013.
Anwers to your questions:
1) Yes, the Upgrade Management Tool does support this kind of migration
2) It does seem that the UMT allows you to move all report instances as well as the scheduled jobs over to the new server
3) I've always had issues with Business Views when using Import Wizard however I'm not sure whether they work well with the new UMT. In any case, I always prefer to export the LOVs and BVs from within the Business View Manager to a .xml file and then import them in the higher version of the Server, again, from within the Business View Manager.

Migrate from Crystal Report Server XI R2 to new Eclipse RAS SDK Question

Hi,
I am migrating Crystal Report Server XI R2 RAS SDK to Eclipse RAS SDK which seems to be quite easy.
I have the following old code which basicly programmaticly creates a Report from scratch adds a Table and then
populates the Report with a Pojo Collection.
 
Now before I would have : 
 
Table oTable = new Table(); 
oTable.setName("reportTable"); 
pbConnAttributes.putStringValue("QE_DatabaseType", "Java Beans Connectivity"); 
pbConnAttributes.putStringValue(PropertyBagHelper.CONNINFO_DATABASE_DLL, "crdb_javabeans.dll"); 
PropertyBag pbLogonProperties = new PropertyBag(); 
pbLogonProperties.putStringValue("Java Bean Classes", className); 
pbLogonProperties.putStringValue("SSOKEY", ""); 
pbConnAttributes.put("QE_LogonProperties", pbLogonProperties); 
pbConnAttributes.putBooleanValue(PropertyBagHelper.CONNINFO_SSO_ENABLED, false); 
oTable.getConnectionInfo().setKind(ConnectionInfoKind.CRQE); 
oTable.getConnectionInfo().setUserName(""); 
oTable.getConnectionInfo().setPassword(null); 
oTable.getConnectionInfo().setAttributes(pbConnAttributes); 
//following statement throws Exception 
doc.getDatabaseController().addTable(oTable, null); 
 
getDatabaseController().setDataSource(pojoCollection, pojoClass.class,"reportTable", "reportTable");
 
 
Now wenn using the c lient eclipse RAS SDK which pbConnAttributes should I use? 
No matter which ones I choose I get a Bad Driver Exception or Named Exception. 
Can anybody help?

Migrating Crystal Reports Server XI to a new Server

Post Author: david_okeefe
CA Forum: Deployment
Hi,I am trying to migrate an existing Crystal Reports installation from an old server to a new server. To prevent interruption of service, the new server must be able to be online at the same time as the old server (thus it must have a different name). I installed Crystal Reports Server XI and told it to create its CMS database by copying the existing CMS database. Unfortunately, I received an unspecified error ("failed to received first object from source database"). After that, I opted to create a new, default CMS database. I tried using the import wizard to migrate the reports to the new server. The import wizard managed to bring over all of the folders, users, and groups, but not any of the reports. When I looked at the migration log, it gave me an error stating that it could not find the parent folder. I have no real idea how to address this issue. On a related note, I also do not know how to point crystal at the reports repository on the new server. I tried using the Data Source Migration wizard to copy the reports from the old server to the new server. Unfortunately, it didn't appear to register any of the new reports. Given what I have already tried, I am not sure how to proceed.Any help would be appreciated.Thanks,David

Upgrading from CR 10 Embedded Edition to Crystal Reports (server) xi

We recently upgraded from CR10 Embedded edition to Crystal Reports Server Xi. In our application the users access the reports via a web page (where they enter the paratemeters) and the report is displayed using the Crystal Reports viewer. The CR server xi was recently installed and all the SDK references have been as mentioned in this document: https://boc.sdn.sap.com/node/724. But now when the reports are accessed via the web page we are encountering the error 'All of your system's 0 Concurrent Access Licenses are in use at this time or your system's license key has expired. Try again later or contact your administrator to obtain additional licenses.---- Error code:-2147217397 Error code name:enterpriseLogonFailed'
Can anyone share your thoughts or provide suggestions?
Thanks,
in advance!

Hello SG,
A common issue that arises when migrating from Crystal Enterprise 10 Embedded to Crystal Reports Server XI applications that use the Report Application Server (RAS) SDK.
The RAS supports two modes of operation - "Unmanaged" and "Managed" reporting.
With CE10Embedded, you'd be using Unmanaged Reporting, where you'd copy the Crystal Report rpt file to the RAS server, and reference it by path when opening it in the ReportClientDocument class instance.
With Crystal Reports Server XI, you can use either Unmanaged Reporting, or Managed Reporting. Managed means you'd publish the rpt file to be "managed" by the CR Server Central Management Server (CMS). In code, you'd log onto the CR Server, retrieve the ReportAppFactory from the CMS, retrieve the report from the InfoStore, and pass it into the ReportAppFactory to create the ReportClientDocument.
I'm assuming you're still using "Unmanaged Reporting" with Crystal Reports Server.
If so, each report request will be authenticated in the CMS using the "Guest" account, and each request will use up a Concurrent Access License (CAL).
If you're getting the exception on the first report request, then that likely means you have the complimentary copy of CR Server XI, that comes with zero CALs and five Named User Licenses.
You won't be able to use unmanaged reporting with the complimentary version. You may want to modify your code to use managed reporting.
If you're getting the exception on the sixth or subsequent request, then that likely means you've purchased CR Server XI, and the base edition comes with 5 CALs.
If you contact sales, you can inform them of the number of users you have, and how frequently they request reports, and sales can recommend a license to match your requirements.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Upgrading from Crystal Reports Server V0 to V1

We're looking into upgrading Crystal Reports Server V0 to V1. According to the upgrade guide we have to do a complete uninstall of our V0 before installing V1. It seems risky to uninstall before we have a working version of the upgrade. Wondering if anyone out there has gone through this process and if so what were your experiences? Did you have a method to test the upgrade process before uninstalling V0?
Thanks!

Linking to a report on Crystal Report server from Adobe 6.0

Hello,
I am trying to link to a Cystal report on the Crystal report server. I just want to be able to connect directly to a report using Adobe Go-Live page. Right now... The only way I can find the address for the report is to get it from a Sharepoint site where I have it linked. Is there an easier way too find the web address of a cystal report on the Crystal report server?
Thanks,
Jason

I have checked the following directories and I haven't been able to see any errors related to my problem. I checked C:\Windows\system32\logfiles and C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\logging. However, if I schedule the report, it works just fine. I just can't run the report on demand without receving the "Stop Running Scripts" error.

Transfer reports from Crystal Enterprise 9 to Crystal Reports server 2008

Hello,
a decision was made to stand up our new Crystal Reports Server 2008 box and only load new reports to it that were created in Crystal Reports 2008, or ones that were modified in CR 2008.
Now I have all of my users set up and some reports loaded on the new server. There has been a new decision to now move a couple hundred reports off the old server onto the new and also have the same folder structure and schedules as exists on the old CR 9 server.
Is there an export/import tool that will allow for this?

Hi,
i`m not quite sure if you can do this from CRE9 to CRS2008 with the Import Wizard. I think its only supported beginning with CE10.
Check the Import Wizard Guide from:

Crystal Reports Server - Import from v9 to XI

Post Author: raudette
CA Forum: Deployment
I have a Crystal 9 server and Crystal 11 server, with production reports running on both.I have been asked to get rid of our Crystal 9 server, and import all of our reports into the Crystal 11 server.I intend to use the 'import wizard' tool. Should the import not work as I like, I would like to roll back all my changes.My questions are:1) Will the import tool make any changes to the Crystal 9 instance?2) Is it possible to back up Crystal 11 in its current state, so I can roll it back if need be? Is this just a matter of backing up the MS SQL interface.3) Has anyone else on this forum done this? Can I expect this just to work? Or will it require a lot of manual changes / intervention after the import to make everything work again.Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide.

Crystal Reports Server install from download

I have been tasked by my manager to install & evaluate Crystal Reports Server.
I have gone to the evaluation download site and downloaded the part 1 & 2 files.
Part 1 extracts and give an error message stating that the archive is incomplete. Once unzipping the part 2 there seems to be no setup.exe ?
Can you help me install this evaluation software ?

Drop down boxes ok in Crystal Reports but not ok in Crystal Reports Server

I have the following problem with "dynamic dropdowns"
Initially, I have a Crystal Report (.rpt). It has two dynamic drop downs. They work
in both Crystal Reports Designer (preview) and Crystal Reports Server (right-click-View).
The first drop down is the result of a rather complex sql query. The second drop down
is a child of the first.
I make a small change to the sql "WHERE" clause using the Crystal Reports Designer. It works fine in preview.
I save (Enterprise mode) to Crystal Server. I use Business View Manager to configure
the _DC_n object. (I did notice that the .._DC_n gets incremented by one.)
The _DF object seems to know about the updated sql so I do not have change it.
However, when I go to back to Crystal Reports Server, and right-click-View, the
"dynamic dropdown" is not working properly. I can not make sense
of what has been retrieved.
Please tell me what is most likely to have gone wrong here? The Business View Manager
seemed to knew about the sql change. But Crystal Reports Server has
not responded to the change in the same way as Crystal Reports Designer.
...thank you, Stan

When you publish a report to Crystal Server, the dynamic prompts are no longer handled in the report itself. Instead depending on how they're published, they either go away or they're published to the "repository" and managed through the "Business View Manager" (BVM), which is available as part of the Client Tools install.
To get the dynamic prompt into the repository, you have to check the "Enable Repository Refresh" checkbox at the bottom of the "Save As" screen after you log in to CRS. However, doing it this way is NOT best practice, especially if you're using the query from the report to provide the data for the prompt. If you do this for all of your reports, you get a LOT of bloat in the repository objects and it makes the job of migrating from one version of CRS to another MUCH more difficult!
What I've done in the past to get a simple "sample" prompt published is create a report that just contains the data that I want to have in the dynamic parameter using a single table - this is usually what I call a "lookup" table that has a "code" field and a "description" or "name" field. I then create a dynamic parameter in that report that just pulls the data from the single table. I'll publish the report to my favorites with the Repository Refresh enabled.
I then run the BVM and look for the following objects (default location is under "Cascading Dynamic Prompts":
<prompt name>_DC - This is the Data Connection for the prompt. Edit this, enter the password, and set it to "Never Prompt" for the password. NOTE: This DC can be reused by multiple prompts. If you continue to add prompts through publishing Crystal Reports with prompts, you will get MANY of these that all point to the same database!
<prompt name>_DF - This is the Data Foundation for the prompts. When you create a new one, you need to select an existing DC and then either one or more tables or write a command to provide the data for your prompt. It works much like the Database Explorer in Crystal. The one that was just saved has all of the information required for the prompt.
<prompt name>_BE - This is the Business Element. When you create one, you have to select and existing DF and one or more fields. You can also create a filter on the data. This is used to generate the SQL that will be run to provide the data for the prompt.
<prompt name>_ BV - This is the Business View. When you create one, you have to select the Business Element. I'm not sure of the exact purpose of this, but you have to have one in order to set up the "List of Values".
<prompt name> - This is the List of Values (LOV). This defines what fields are available for the prompt itself.
You can create folders to organize these objects so that its easier to maintain.
To use a LOV that you've defined in BVM to feed data to new dynamic prompts, do the following:
1. Connect to CRS from Crystal.
2. Create/Edit your prompt.
3. Set the prompt to be dynamic.
4. Under "Choose a Data Source", select "Existing" and select the LOV from the drop-down list.
5. Update the properties in the parameter.
When viewing or scheduling a report, the dynamic prompts will run through the Crystal Reports 2013 Report Application Server in CRS (it will be named differently if you're not on CRS 2013, but will have "Report Application Server" in the name.)
