Need File Association for Crystal Reports v.11

Post Author: pts123
CA Forum: General
Policy Accounting is testing a new suspense processing application that relies on Crystal Reports v.11 for report delivery. Currently this report (SUSPENSE_DETAIL_REPORT.rpt) is located in the
kcsan03\Policy\PortalDocuments\Suspense directory. It is also crawled into the portal in the following location.
Knowledge Directory : Intranet : Departments : Policy Accounting : Suspense
However, when a user clicks on the report link, (either in the portal knowledge directory or from the file itself in the
kcsan03\Policy\PortalDocuments\Suspense directory), Crystal Reports v.7 is launched rather than Crystal Reports v.11.
Is there a way to get the report to open with Crystal Reports v.11? This appears to be a file association issue and potentially involves all of the users in the SUSProc active directory group.
The new suspense processing application is currently in test and is scheduled to go live on June 15, 2007. We need to test in the final location (
kcsan03\Policy\PortalDocuments\Suspense) prior to our go live date. Any assistance in resolving this issue is much appreciated. Becky Clark previously assisted me on other tickets involving the Crystal Reports v.11 application.
Please let me know if you have any questions or need additional information.

Hi Mike,
From CR XI R2 and CR2008 You can export the reports to MS excelt 97-2003 version i.e., 65K records only.
Using CR2011 and CR2013 You can export the reports to MS Excel 2007 version i.e., Xlsx format.
Check the below documents for your refernece.

  • Merge files or redist installer for Crystal Reports 2011

    I cannot find packages for merge files or installer for the redistribution files for Crystal Reports 2011. I have found them only for older versions. In the download section there is somewhere a hint that they are at a different position but no information where.
    Can anyone help me?
    Thank you
    Arne Ortlinghaus

    Hi Don,
    thank you. It is ok using the files you indicated me. But there are still some doubts.
    What does happen on a machine where a designer 2011 (internal version 14) is installed and an application that uses the dlls for Visual Studio 2010 (internal version 13). Does this work without problems?
    In a readme for the redistributables for Visual Studio 2010  I have found the following text which I cannot interprete:
    If you have installed Crystal Reports 2011 or any of the SAP BusinessObjects XI 4.0 products,
    you may notice that their installation contains the same "Crystal Reports 2011" and "SAP
    BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0" folders as you see in this folder.  Please note that the
    folder/files names may be the same but most files have a different version, and are not
    compatible with the Crystal Reports 2011 or SAP BusinessObjects XI 4.0 products.
    Currently we want to upgrade our programs from Crystal Reports 9 to 2011 and we have many installations where for one machine the Crystal Reports Designer is needed together with our applications.

    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?

  • BOBJ 4.0 Upgrade: Impact on Int Kit customizations for crystal reports?

    BW Version 7.01
    BOBJ version XI 3.1 
    We would like to upgrade to BOBJ 4.0, could anyone provide input on these questions?
    1 - Can we keep BW 7.01, or do we need to look into upgrading to 7.3?   We'd prefer to not touch bw now.  If we move to bobj 4.0, does BW need to be touched?
    2 - We have modified these function modules in BW (i believe they are part of the integration kit in SAP BW) to meet end user requirements for crystal reports; will crystal reports in BOBJ 4.0 still work with these?  I believe one of the improvements is that these aren't used anymore for performance reasons???
    BAPI_MDPROVIDER_GET_VARIABLE
    BAPI_MDDATASET_CREATE_OBJECT
    BAPI_MDDATASET_GET_AXIS_DATA
    BAPI_MDPROVIDER_GET_MEMBERS
    BAPI_MDPROVIDER_GET_MEMBERS
    3 - 99% of our reports are crystal, are there any other hurdles or reasons why we should be cautious moving to 4.0?  We are looking to roll out explorer, webi, and xcelsius and would rather go ahead and catch up to 4.0...
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Hi,
    1. i'd recommend having a seperate BW for BI4 purposes.  If anything, it makes management of integration TRANSPORTs much easier, given that you can only have 1 version active..
    (yes, although there's no SAP IK Kit, transports are still imported into backend)
    2. OLAP BAPI access is still there in BI4.0,  namely for the CR 2011 tool with BW MDX Driver , and for Webi documents using the legacy Universe Design Tool  OLAP.unv file.
    the new OLAP data access driver for SAP in BI4.0 is the BW's BI Consumer Service (BICS API). The function modules for this are generally  called: BICS_PROV_GET*
    3.  No hurdle at all.  You can migrate your content as-is without fear of change.  that's principally why the CR 2011 client is there for the 4.0 RTC - for adoption and onboarding.  That legacy CR client technology is wholy unchanged, apart from .xlsx support and a 'read only' save mode.
    the Crystal for Enterprise product is still playing catch up. It hasn't got all (any) of the direct drivers you would expect from crystal, but it can consume the new .unx common semantic layer and the BICS jco driver (neither of which the CR2011 product can)
    ... as of 4.1 (Q1 2012) the fit-gap in features is answered. i.e. they've all been fwd ported.
    i hope this helps

  • How do I reset the default file association for .bat files on Windows 8.1?

    Windows 8.1 allows the user to change the file association for .bat files. I made the mistake of using this facility to change the default file association for .bat files to Notepad++. Now when I attempt to run a .bat file, the script for the .bat
    comes up in Notepad++, instead of its being run as an executable file!  All my .bat files are now useless. I tried finding a way to change this back to the original executable setting, including deleting Notepad++ from my system, but nothing
    has worked. 
    There are discussions that I found on the Internet about this problem, and the solutions to which I was led have not worked either. Most of the solutions apply to Windows 7 or Vista, but not to Windows 8. There are a few solutions that purport to apply to Windows
    8 and 8.1, but they do not work for me.  
    (Disconcertingly, some of the solutions presented for the problem that apply to Vista or Windows 7 and are dated as early as 2009, so this problem has apparently been around for some time, but Microsoft still keeps .bat files on the Control Panel facility that
    enables the change to be made. I cannot see why, but there it remains.)
    Can someone please help me change this file association back to the original setting for Windows 8.1? Remember, most if now all the links that address this issue are focused on Windows 7. I need an answer that has been tried and proven to apply to Windows 8.1.
    Nothing I have tried works.

    Hi,
    For the issue, we can restore Default File Extension Type Associations through adding the registry entries.
    1. Download the .reg file from the following link.
    http://www.eightforums.com/attachments/tutorials/8025d1345781188-default-file-associations-restore-windows-8-bat.reg
    Note: Microsoft provides third-party contact information to help you find technical support. This contact information may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this third-party contact information.
    2. Save the .reg file to your desktop.
    3. Double click on the downloaded .reg file to Merge it.
    4. If prompted, click on Run, Yes (UAC), Yes, and OK to approve the merge.
    5. Sign out and in, or restart the computer to apply.
    6. If you are logged in as a standard user and this still does not help, then have the administrator also merge the needed .reg file for the listed file extension or protocol below while logged into their administrator account.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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.

  • Adobe reader problem on viewing PDF file created by crystal report

    I have a VB6 application to export the PDF file by using crystal report 9. However, when I viewed the PDF file under Adobe reader 8, I have a following message when I hit the page down key.
    "An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly.
    Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem."
    After hit okay, this message will be gone and I can see the PDF file without problem. However, I don't have this issue when using Adobe reader 5 or 6 version.
    If I crystal report 11 version to export the PDF, everything works fine also but our production machine can only use crystal report version 9, not 11.
    Anyone have idea?? Thx!

    Sounds as if there is a bug in the older version of Crystal reports.
    If you are prevented from installing fixes for bugs, you may well be
    stuck with the effect of the bug.

  • JRC Deployment Guide for Crystal Reports 2008

    I just downloaded a trial version of Crystal Reports 2008 & was testing out the integration of this component into our Java web based application.
    I found the "Crystal Reports XI Release 2 - Java Reporting Component Deployment Guide" PDF file, but I was wondering if there was a more recent version of this guide for Crystal Reports 2008.  Maybe I'm a bit confused regarding the versions but this guide currently references JARs in a folder under ...\3.5\java\lib.  However, when I looked in the same section of Crystal 2008, I noticed it was \4.0\java\lib & the JARs are different.
    Is there a new JRC Depolyment Guide for Crystal Reports 2008?...If not, is there any documentation I can use to map between the 3.5 libraries and the 4.0 libraries?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    There is no separate JRC has been launched for the CR 2008.
    But SAP has launched the Crystal Reports 4 Eclipse 2.0 in which CR 2008 has been integraqted with backword compatibility.

  • 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.

  • Dynamic url link for Crystal Reports Enterprise?

    Hi all,
    We recently upgraded to SBOP 4.0 SP2 and are looking at migrating our existing Crystal Reports from Crystal Reports 2011 to Crystal Reports for Enterprise 4.0.
    Up to this point we have been utilizing the BW Publisher and role menus in BW.
    Our long term goal is to migrate users from the BW GUI to the BI LaunchPad but this will be a gradual process.
    Until we make the final switch to the LaunchPad we need to maintain the links in the role menus. I found the Document Link option for Crystal Reports so I have a URL to point to the report that we can put in the role menu, but the system value is not dynamic. Is there a way to make this dynamic like we can do with web template URLs?
    For example, when using a web template URL we can use the <bsp_server> parameter in the URL to determine the SAP system. Is there an equivalent that can be used in the Document Link for the Crystal Report to determine the respective SBOP system?
    Thanks.

  • Where to define .rpt file location in Crystal Report Server 2008

    Hi all,
    I have installed Crystal Report Server 2008 in my machine and trying to invoking the report from my java application. Earlier we have used Crystal Report Server XI Release 2 and in my java application i am passing crystal report server name, report name, parameters and it is woking fine in Crystal Report Server XI Release 2. But now I have installed Crystal Report Server 2008.
    In Crystal Report Server XI Release 2, we have a option to provide the report directory folder from the computer. That is in Central Configuration Manager - > Right click on Report Application Server -> Properties -> Parameter Tab -> Change Option Type to Server and And Select directory which contains the .rpt files.
    Like the same way, i need to give the report directory path in Crystal Report Server 2008. Then only the report server will find the report from the directory and display it. In my application i am passing the report name to the crystal report server. The report server will find the exact report from that folder from the local system and display it in application.
    I can able to give the report file directory in Crystal Report Server XI Release 2, but cannot able in Crystal Report Server 2008.
    Pls help me how could i do this?

  • File Associations for all users

    How does one go about changing file associations for file types for all users? I've recently installed iWork '08 on a computer on the network and now when I log in as a user it wants to open all of my Excel and Word Documents in Numbers and Pages respectively. How can I get it to default back to Microsoft Office for all of my Microsoft Office documents for all users. The iWork '08 install seemed to just take over, so it must be possible.
    Thanks!

    I too need this information, but seeing it's been over a year and no one replied to the thread starter.....

  • Where is the Tech Support for Crystal Reports

    Where is the technical support for Crystal Reports?  I have just been through one of the worst technical supports circles in my entire career - this phone# to that phone# and only to be told you cannot talk to a Tech Support person.  My dilema for anyone that can help - I am using Crystal Report 2008.  I have mapped to a database in MS Access 2002.  I copied the database to my desktop and created a test report.  I can see the fields in the Field Explorer.  I have dragged the fields onto the report and they are visible in Design View.  I can see the data in the fields when I browse the fields.  In the Preview View I do not see any data what-so-ever.  I have not changed any defaults and have not suppressed or hidden information.  The $1M question:  Why can't I see the data on my report?  I never had the problem when I used Crystal Reports v8.

    The datasource shows my database.  I believe that is what you meant.  No data.  IT has asked me to ask ? if in the Control Panel DSN if we need some information there.  I don't have a clue - I am just a report writer and not an IT person.
