MOSS 2007 deployment of Crystal Report

Hi
How do i integrate the crystal reports built in .NET2005 professional edition into MOSS 2007.
Also what will be the redistributable components for the Crystal Reports to work on Production environment.
Thanks
Prashant

The Crystal Reports that comes with VS 2005 comes with a .NET SDK and a Web Form Viewer. I'm not up on MOSS 2007 yet but I believe you should be able to integrate a .NET app and Web Form Viewer with MOSS.
The redistributables come as a MSI installer for your server and are available here.

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:
BusinessObjects XI Release 2 SharePoint 2007 Portal Integration Kit
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.

There's not enough info to help troubleshoot the issue as there could be many reasons for the error to occur. One thing that does come to mind is that you may be missing a runtime file. Make sure you used the Crystal Reprots merge modules (msm) or the windows installer (.msi) to install the CR runtime on the web server. There's a lot of info on the BOBJ support site and the <a href="http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/BusinessObjectsXIR2SP2/en/devsuite.htm" target="_blank">DevLibrary</a> on how to deploy CR applications.It might be worth calling the BOBJ support team to help troubleshoot in case there is some specific configuration in your deployment that could be causing the error.-MJ

How do I deploy my Crystal Reports webapp???

Post Author: figue
CA Forum: .NET
Hi, i've developed a web application using Visual Studio .Net and using the Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2005. I've read almost all the "how-tos" that are available on the net to solve my situation, but i couldn't manage to deploy my application.
I have no physical access to the web server, and i cannot execute a .exe or a .msi installer (i cannot use the "merge modules" solution).The only solution i think may help me is copying the Crystal Reports dll's to my BIN folder and using those dll's instead of using the GAC references.Here's what i've done:- I copied all the dll's that I found on Program Files/Common Files/Business Objects/2.7/Managed into my app's BIN folder.- I deleted all the references to the Crystal Reports' assemblies from my solution's property pages. FIRST PROBLEM: The references were deleted, but when I closed the solution, and opened it again, all the references returned.. After trying again and again, they finally dissapeared.- I tryied to add the references to the dll's that were into my app's BIN folder, but when I browse the file, select it, and accept the dialog box, nothing happens. No reference is added into the References window.- I tryied to add the GAC references again, to return to the previous state, but it's the same, i select the reference from the GAC and when i accept the dialog box, nothing happens.- I thought that maybe my pc has some troubles with the installed versions of crystal reports (i hace 8.5, XI and CR for VS 2005 installed), so i created a Virtual Machine, Installed VS 2005 and created a new web application with one .aspx and one .rpt and tryied to change the GAC's references for the BIN's DLLs. The same thing happend.
Can somebody please help me? I'm gettin' really tired of trying and trying things and not gettin' in solved.
Regards from Argentina

Unfortunately, xcopy deployments of Crystal Reports .NET assemblies won't work, since they rely on some dll's via COM-Interop.
Those components have to be registered on the server - via merge modules install - and regretably, you're restricted from doing so.

Vb6 deployment and Crystal Report 8.5

Hi,
I tried to deploy a Visual Basic 6 on a client pc that use Crystal Report 8.5.
Because no merge files exist for this version of Crystal Report I tried to added all the necessary dll in the deploy package (using visual basic 6 tools deployment).
I read the file Runtime.hlp so I added every dll wriiten in this file.
When I run my setup I always have this error :
The program can't start because CRPE32.dll is missing from your computer.
It's strange because I added this dll to my deployment package.
So I don't no what to do anymore.
Need some help to solve this problem because I know it's easier with more recent version of Crystal Report because of the merge file but right now this software need CR 8.5.
Regards,
Hugo

Hi,
Ok here what I'm trying to do.
I have an application Visual Basic 6 that use crystal report 8.5 to export the report in pdf using the dll cradxt.dll by programming.
On the dev pc I have Visual Studio 6.0 and Crystal Report 8.5 installed.
I want to install this software on another PC so I created a deployment package, automatically the pakage added the "necessary" dlls.
But is not enough I need to added more on the client pc so it's hard even if I read the Runtime.hlp that come with Crystal Report 8.5 and I added all the dll it always seems to miss somes.
So I was wondering if a merge module or something exist like the other version of Crystal Reports to install the necessary dlls on a clients pc.
Otherwise what is the best way to do it ?
Regards.

Deploying a crystal report - options

Hi,
I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this question, but I've gone through all the other forums and though this looked like the best fit. Apologies if this isn't the case.
What I'm hoping to find out though is what options are available to me to run an existing crystal report on a number of other systems. To give abit of background I work for a company that has around 140 stores across Australia. We currently use a thin client POS system at the stores and there has come a need to use another reporting facility, and we're hoping Crystal Reports will meet that criteria. The need is to allow the stores to view reports locally without having to rely on a server.
We are planning on purchasing the full version of Crystal Reports designer to build the reports themselves at Head Office (we are currently using the Trial version to see if we can accomplish the results we need) but the hurdle we face at the moment is how the stores themselves will actually run the reports and view the results on their end.
Our initial line of thinking was that the reports would use an XML based datasource and the sample reports that we have built are structured on that as well. The XML datasource would be refreshed from the Thin Client system onto the stores local directory whenever a report is ran. What we don't know is how to run the Crystal Report using that datasource without using some additional third party programs (or even something like a C# application acting as the middleman).
We aren't even sure if this is the best approach or if there's another option, but essentially we are looking to see what options are available to run a .rpt file locally. We've looked at the CrystalReportsViewer freeware application and we're not sure if that meets our requirements (it didn't seem to actively point to the XML datasource, and also had a fair amount of popups and external links).
I'm hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction. If you need any other information then let me know.
Thanks

Hello
I really like your questions. Much better to get those out of the way now than after you've jumped over the cliff LOL
Re. the size of the dataset and XML. One thing I forgot is that you could use a direct connection to an XML, but do ensure that you are using the crdb_adoplus.dll driver (). The crdb_xml.dll driver () converts all data types to string (for what ever reason...) which often leads to issues.
Now to your questions.
if the XML datasource was to always reside in c:Data.XML then the viewer would update accordingly to reflect any changes to that datasource?
- Yes this will be fine. Actually in this case it will be the engine reading the report and the report has that info stored internally.
But remember you do have the option of changing the path as per the KB in my previous post.
Also a quick question about the SDK's. Do they work with the express version of Visual Studio or would they require the full version?
- The CR SDK does not integrate with the express version of VS .NET.
Re. the SDKs
- Click [here|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/40bccdfd-88a6-2b10-1da1-c47a54b625a7] for a presentation on the available SDKs. The Developer help files also discuss these. But in you r case, as I read your posts, it looks to me like this will be a pretty simple / vanilla kind of application. If the XML will always be in the same location and the reports do not need any selection formula, parameters, etc., passed to them, the code could be as simple as:
Dim crReportDocument As New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument()
'Load the report
crReportDocument.Load("<path to your report>")
'Bind the report to the viewer
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = crReportDocument
crReportDocument.Close
crReportDocument.Dispose

Problem of deployment of crystal report on development client

Hi,
We have a issue with running crystal report on our development server.
After crystal report files (.rpt) is saved on the BOE server, when it
is opened through InfoViewApp or OpenDocument, the connection to MySQL failed, the error message "Failed to open the connection"
Both 32-bits and 64-bits MySQL ODBC connectors are installed on the machine and both system and user DSN has been added on the system. After setting the database configuration in the CmcApp, there is no connection problem when opening the rpt file directly with another crystal report development platform, data can be correctly drawn when previewing the report.
Can you help to trouble shoot the issue ?
Any help is highly appreciated.

Hi Thomas
If you are facing issue with your report only from the enterprise, I would suggest you to post you question in the Expert Forums » Business Objects » BusinessObjects Enterprise Administration.

Problem of Deployment of crystal report on a x64-development client

Hi,
We have a issue with running crystal report on our development server (with OS = 64-bit Window Server 2003).
After crystal report files (.rpt) is saved on the BOE server (32-bit), when it is opened through InfoViewApp or OpenDocument, the connection to MySQL failed, the error message "Failed to open the connection"
Both 32-bits and 64-bits MySQL ODBC connectors are installed on the machine and both system and user DSN has been added on the system. After setting the database configuration in the CmcApp, there is no connection problem when opening the rpt file directly with another crystal report development platform, data can be correctly drawn when previewing the report.
Can you help to trouble shoot the issue ?
Any help is highly appreciated.

Hi Thomas,
I'm not sure it's related but we've run into other ODBC issues due to the 2 seperate REG keys where ODBC is managed in 64 bit windows.
"Copy your Business Objects ODBC-related registry keys to the Win64 branch of the registry. Open regedit.exe and copy the CMS and Audit DSN keys (manually, by re-creating them -- takes 5-10 minutes) from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI\ to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\ODBC\ODBC.INI\ "
If you aren't familiar with editing your windows registry or backing it up please open a message with support as any mistaked could potentially cause worse problems with your OS.
Hope this helps...

Tim

Pre-Purchase Question - Deploying Crystal Report to SSRS Report Server

Our company has recently installed a SQL 2005 server for our accounting system. I had intended going down the path of using SQL Reporting Services as our reporting tool and deploying them to the builtin Report Server. However, I've been using Crystal Reports for years and find it much more user friendly for a non-programmer to use. I can actually write a report in Crystal, SSRS took me 3 days to achieve very little, I believe it requires too much SQL reporting knowledge for a beginner.
After spending many hours trawling the net looking for a solution to this problem, I found that Crystal comes as part of Visual Studio. However, I also believe the version of Visual Studio that comes with SQL2005 is the basic version, and I'd need the Pro version to get the Crystal add on.
To this end, I've downloaded the trial version of Crystal 2008 and installed it. I find I can write a report in Crystal, and then I can manually add that report to a SSRS project. When I open the Crystal Report within Visual Studio I can see all the correct Crystal toolbars and menus etc, so it would appear that the installation of Crystal for Visual Studio has integrated properly. I can then deploy that report to the Report server and see the report on the web page. However clicking to open the report then opens the full Crystal Reports application, instead of just displaying the report in the web page.
I've been unsuccessful in finding a solution to the above deployment problem. I'm seeking a solution so that my users can just see the report without Crystal itself opening up. I've been advised that there is a Crystal Report Server that I can purchase, but I don't wish to go to that expense when we already have this functionality built into our SSRS server.
Can you please advise if it's possible to deploy the Crystal report to the SSRS Report Server and then open the report within the web page without opening the full Crystal app, and if so what steps I would need to take to implement this.
If this issue can be resolved, I'll be more than happy to purchase the full Crystal 2008 package and forget SSRS as a bad idea.
Sorry to be so long winded, I wanted to be clear what the issue is. Any information /advice would be very much appreciated.

Hello Diane,
I would not know if Crystal Report can be used with SSRS but I know for sure that you can use the embedded Crystal Reports Version with comes with VS 2005 or VS 2008 to create reports and to display them in web and windows application.
We have lots of samples how to do this in our [dev community|https://boc.sdn.sap.com/].
Also, you can use [Crystal Reports 2008|https://boc.sdn.sap.com/developer/library/CR2008SDK] with MS SQL 2005.
Other products like Crystal Reports server can also use MS SQL 2005.
Please see our [supported platforms for CR 2008|http://service.sap.com/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000712280&_OBJECT=011000358700000675322008E] on windows.
Hope this helps

Deploying an application with crystal reports

Hi, we have a license for Crystal reports (please contact me for key information, if needed), and have been developing them in a VB.Net application.
Now, we are trying to install on the application on the client side.
We have followed this guide for setup:
http://vb.net-informations.com/crystal-report/vb.net_crystal_report_deployment_setup.htm
And it worked for a while.
In our recent setup for the customer, this stopped working and we get the following error:
Could not load file or assembly 'CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms,Version:12.0.2000.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304' or one of it's dependencies.
What are we doing wrong??
The developers have Crystal Reports 2008 12.1.0.892 installed.

Check the GAC (windows\assembly) and make sure that the CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms dll version 12.2 is there.
If it is not then you did not deploy correctly and will need to make sure to deploy the Crystal Reports 2008 runtimes to the machine.
Also is the machine running a 32 or 64 bit OS?

Deploying Crystal Report 11.5 without using .msm or .msi

Post Author: kquach
CA Forum: Deployment
Hi,
I am trying to deploy the Crystal 11.5 runtimes .dlls for my project. I want to deploy the assemblies without using the merge modules or running the .msi project (the .msi and .msm files contains a lot of assemblies that my project does not require). However, when I try to install only the .dlls that my project references, I get the following in my project when loading a report:
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.
If someone knows how to deploy the Crystal Reports assemblies with using the merge modules or .msi, please let me know.
Thanks,

Morning Keit,
I have deployed an application about 2mins ago and I had the same problem before I added the merge files. I have found an article [http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=3129696&SiteID=1&mode=1] in a thread here. This link shows how to install the Runtime CR2008 on client machine to make things work.
I personaly thinks deploying applications using not only CR but other products as well is a nightmare, myself I prefer using web based applications as they do not need much requirements on client pc (that is if everything is pushed from the server).
The way I deployed my application is getting the appropriate dll files and added them into the application setup and also added a prerequiste of CR 2008 with Data access components 2008 (you can find this when you right click on the application setup --->properties -
>prerequsite button.
Once I clicked CR2008 pre, it added a Runtime file into my application setup folder, I ran the application at client pcs and it is working fine.

Crystal Reports background processing for SAP Business One 8.8

Dear Partners,
I have an SDK program developed in SAP Business One SDK that works in 2007, it calls crystal reports externally and can be executed as a background task using the windows schedular or from the command prompt.
My problem is it does not work under SAP Business One SDK 2008 PL18 with SQL Server 2008, Visual Studio 2008.
I receive the following message after this line in my code,"oReport.PrintToPrinter(CopyNo, False, 0, 0)".
'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.LogOnException: Logon failed.

My Question is what Crystal Reports libraries or other method should I be using ?
Crystal Reports 2008 for SAP Business One eg. 51038978.zip - downloaded from portal obviously dosn't contain the CrystalDecisions libraries.
Crystall Reports 2008 - cr2008_sp3_fullbuild, cr2008fp33.exe, cr2008fp33_mm, cr2008fp33_clickonce - also download from the portal, the cr2008_sp3_fullbuild does contain the crystal decisions libraries.
Finally other choices are crystal reports included with the visual studio 2008 and crystal reports full version direct from Business Objects.
I have tried different versions of crystal decision libraries- eg, 12.0110 or 12.02 but still no joy.
Also if I manage to get the report to fire what should the client be running eg, if they have the Crystal Reports 2008 for Business One do they also need to install the Crystal Reports Run time - cr2008fp33_clickonce.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi John
Since the SDK works in 2007 it will be using the OLD DB access method.
Change the Crystal report to use an OLE DB datasource rather than the SAP Business One data source.

CR Developer
Version 12.1.0.892
Product Type: Full
Target environment: .NET 3.5 windows forms and asp.net application
Since a couple of days, i can no longer access the field explorer nor the report exlorer. Anything else seems to be working fine. I first thought these windows were somewhere hidden behind another window but as much as i searched, i didnt succed in finding them :-(. Our product has a valid licence and is registered, by the way.
My question is now, what do i have to do to get my field/report explorer again. Maybe, installing the latest service pack had an influence, but i cannot tell for sure.
Any help is appreciated

Crystal Reports - Report Creation Error

Hello!
I've been working with ACT! Premium 2010 and Crystal Reports for about 2 weeks now. Friday we decided we needed to create a new database to work with, we had to scrap all old reports and start new. We created the main database on Friday and populated it on Sunday. However when trying to bring the new database into Crystal I got an error, I was not able to bring in any database information to create reports with. I followed the exact instructions our resident IT guy gave me for the previous database. Both are remote databases syncing up with the main database, we tried to import both the main database and the remote, resulting in the same error. Also the remote was created this morning about an hour before I tried to access it with Crystal. Our IT guy Team Viewered in to try to help the situation but to no avail. He mentioned that it may also be a permission error but was not able to find a solution. I checked to make sure all the files related to the database were shared and it appears they are. Also went into ACTDIAG to check and repair the database with no change in the error. Any suggestions?
Error message:
http://tinypic.com/r/2my5f9c/3
Am using the OLE DB (ADO) option when creating a new connection, and using the ACT! OLE DB Provider for Reporting 2.0 under that.
Using:
ACT! by Sage Premium 2010 Version 12.0.409.0, Hotfix 3 (Is a trial version but had no errors creating previous report)
Crystal Reports Version 10.0.0.533
Any other information needed I will be happy to post. Thanks in advanced for any answers!
-Matt

I don't know anything about Crystal Reports whatsoever, and I couldn't care less frankly. There has been an excess of postings on these forums about this product, whatever it may be.
If Crystal Reports isn't relevant to the problem why was it mentioned? In the title?
And in any case why was it posted in a forum entitled 'Reflections & Reference Objects'?
And your suggestion that it's up to me to do the research is fallacious and indeed ludicrous.
And the error message 'java.io.FileNotFoundException: http://localhost/viewer9/javaviewer/ReportViewer.jar' is entirely self-explanatory.
And it strongly appears to have something to do with the deployment of Crystal Reports.
None of which is a Reflections & Reference Objects problem, or a Java problem, or Sun's problem.
