Need to copy reports from Crystal Enterprise 9 to Crystal Enterprise 11

Please let me know to use the same crystal report 9 repository database for reports in crystal report XI version? We are having more than 700 reports in CE 9.
As per my understanding, CE 9 stores the reports in APS_InfoObjects2 table and CE11 stores the reports in CMS_InfoObjects5 table. (The structures and the data storage machanism of these tables are not same). 
Also let me know - How can we have the both Crytsal Report 9 and Crystal Report 11 (Release 2) designer tool on the same system?
I was having Crystal Report 9 designer tool and after installing the Crystal Report 11 Release 2 designer tool, Crystal Report 9 has been replaced by Crystal Report 11. If I am installing the Crystal Report 9 then it display the error message like "Install cannot proceed because Crystal Report 9 9.2.25705 has been detected."
Please help on these two issues !!

Hi
You can use Import Wizard  for migration of your reports.
Please refer to Import Wizard Guide. You can download it from [here|http://help.sap.com/].
For your second issue:  You  can use CR9 and CRXI both on the same machine however for this you need to first install CR9 and then do a separate installation of CR XI preferably on a different drive.
Also for the error message
- Did you do a fresh installation of CE XI or it was a upgrade installation?
-For both the cases, open registry editor and delete the registry keys of CR9. Don't forget to take a back up of the registries before making any changes.
Hope this helps!!!

  • CR2008 Not enough memory while exporting reports from Crystal Reports 2008

    I have recently upgraded our Crystal Reports version from Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008 to Crystal Reports 2008.

    GC.Collect();
    GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers();
    Can someone help me resolve the issue.

    The .rpt file size is 14MB with the Data Save option enabled, 12MB without Data Save.  Presumably the 12MB file size is because of the 24bit PNG we have as our background.
    The Designer executes the report in less than a second and we can scroll through all pages and see the image fields perfectly.
    When we Export to PDF, the Designer takes a long time, eventually gets to the 77%, the 7th record and returns "Export report failed" followed by "Memory full".  If we export only page 1 of the 3 pages, it also returns a Memory full error.  However, when the same report is run with only 1 page, that page exports to PDF but with a ridiculously large size and export time.
    The machine has 2GB of physical memory with an 8GB pagefile with Windows 2003 (latest everything).  The process runs up to about 1GB before reporting the memory full error.
    We've also tried a variety of other suggestions posted in the other thread with no success.
    We're happy to provide the RPT file to the Report Team to diagnose the problem.  Ultimately, we need to be able to produce a 15 page report with approximately 45 images.
    Our preferred scenario is fixing problem 2.  The CR Designer seems quite capable of rendering our report and printing it to our third party PDF printer in a timely manner with small size.  However, the API reports memory full.
    The API resides in a dedicated reporting web service with NO other code except for loading the report, setting parameters and printing.  When executing, it uses up to about 1.1GB before reporting the error.
    Are there any other suggestions for fixing what we have?  Are there known problems with large images in reports?  Do we need to lodge a formal support request?
    Regards,  Grant.

  • Error running reports from Crystal Server XI R2 with datasets

    Hi, sorry if my english is not good. I'm from Spain.
    I have a problem. I'm programming with Visual Basic .NET 2008.
    I'm using Crystal Reports Server and programming under Visual Basic to take reports from crystal Server, changing the tables from the report to datasets and scheduling this report.
    Crystal server change connections to CrystalReports.Dataset.
    Preview reports from server sends me an error "DataBase connector unknown"
    If I run this report (with datasets) into my VBNET application (into a  CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.CrystalReportViewer control), IT WORKS!!!
    I need help because I need to schedule these reports (to send them by email, export to PDF formats, ...)

    Reporting off of a dataset is reporting off of a disconnected datasource.  The reason your application works is beacuse you most likely populating a dataset in your application and passing it to the report at the same time.  When scheduling, there is no interaction with the report so unless the report is using an xml file on disk as its datasource, how can it retrieve data?
    To get around this, you can build a dll (.net data provider) that returns either a dataset or datatable and point your report to this dll.  this way, when the report is executed, it loads the dll which fetches the data for you.
    - so the first step is to compile a dll that returns a dataset or datatable.
    - to design your report off of this dll open the database expert and create a new ADO.NET connection.
    - in the File Path area, click the ellipsis ("...") button to browse to your dll and make sure the selected File Type is ".Net DataSet Provider".
    - once the dll is selected, you can choose the dataset/table returned by the dll.
    If your method in the dll is parameterized, it will add a parameter to the report (similar to stored procedure parameters.
    note: the location of your dll must be in the same path on the CR Server as it was when you designed your report in order for it to be loaded correctly.  I usually put the dll in a folder that I know will exist on both machines.

  • How to link a webi report from crystal report

    Hello everyone,
                          I am trying to link a webi report from crystal XI.
    In my crosstab, the data is divided grouped by periods.
    So for every country it shows data along a period of time.
    The details for the value of the crosstab are in a webi report.I am trying to pass the period value and country name as a prompt from crystal to webi but it is not picking them correctly.
    can we pass prompts from a crystal report to a webi url??

    Try to use OpenDoc URL to pass the parameter values from crystal to webi. To use OpenDoc URL you need to publish these reports in server. See the following example
    http://server name:8080/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=wid&sPath=[folder name]&sDocName=Child&iDocID=4804&lsSEnter+State:=California

  • I need to copy data from a table in one database (db1) to another table in

    Hi
    I need to copy data from a table in one database (db1) to another table in another database (db2).
    I am not sure if the table exists in db2,,,if it doesnot it needs to be created as well data also needs to be inserted...
    How am I supposed to this using sql statements..?
    I shall be happy if it is explained SQL also...
    Thanking in advance

    How many rows does the table contains? There are manyway you can achieve this.
    1. export and import.
    2. create a dblink between two databases and use create table as select, if structure doesnot exists in other database, if structure exists, use, insert into table select command.
    example:
    create a dblink in db2 database for db1 database.
    create table table1 as select * from table1@db1 -- when there is no structure present
    -- you need to add constraints manually, if any exists.
    insert into table1 select * from table1@db1 -- when there is structure present.
    If the table contains large volume of data, I would suggest you to use export and import.

  • Migrating reports from Crystal Enterprise 8.5 to BO Enterprise 11.5

    Hi,
    We have an application configured on Crystal Enterprise 8.5 that uses unmanaged url reports method. Now we have to migrate the application to Business Object Enterprise 11.5. We are done with the installation of Business Object Enterprise 11.5 and configured the application on the new server, but the reports are not working. When we access these reports using URL http://HOST_NAME/VirtualDirectory/Report_Name.rpt?Init=ACTX:Connect we get the message "The page cannot be displayed".
    I am are not able to find the exact reason behind this behavior. We have also checked the mapping of extensions in IIS and found that the every extension (i.e. .rpt, .csp ect) of crystal  is mapped to aspnet_isapi.dll, where as in Crystal Enterprise 8.5 these are mapped to wcsinsapi.dll. Is there is some issue with the installation?
    Thanks!

    Hi Tim,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I searched the forum and found the link to [url|http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/BusinessObjectsXIR2SP2/en/en/BOE_SDK/boesdk_java_dg_doc/doc/boesdk_java_dg/URLreporting_new.html] which specifies the process to use URL Reporting for Crystal Reports . But to implement this we have to change the architecture of our existing application as presently we are directly accessing the report in URL to run the report. I was not able to found any solution that implements this architecture.
    Does Business Object Enterprise 11.5 still supports this architecture?
    If we use the architecture specified in the above URL for URL Reporting for Crystal Reports  then how we can migrate all our reports to BOE 11.5? We have to use the Publish Wizard for that, to get the ids for our reports?
    There was a parameter APSTOKEN how can we get a token. Can it be a static token that can be used by all the users to access the reports?
    Thanks!

  • How to recover the deleted reports from crystal reports XIR2

    Hi,
    There have been few crystal reports have been deleted from crystal environment and i would like to know how to recover them. please advice the best possible ways to recover them. CMS repositoty in SQL server database
    thanks in advance
    Regards,
    Krishna

    Hope, your question is this "How to recover the deleted Crystal reports in XI R2".
    Answer for this question is...
    Yes, it is possible if you have backup of your CMS and FRS.
    Copy the CMS database from the backup to your database server and point the CMS ODBC system DSN to it.
    Copy the backed up file store to a Temp directory.
    Change the path of input and output file repository servers in the CMC, for each server, to the Temp file store directory.
    You will now be able to find the reports. Copy those reports to the BO server's local disk, or create a BIAR file using the Import Wizard.
    Point the ODBC system DSN back to the original database and also change the paths on input file repository and output file repository servers back to their original locations.
    Publish the reports to Enterprise from the BusinessObjects server's local hard disk.

  • Can Connect but Not Open Reports from BusinessObjects Enterprise

    I have a new installation of Crystal 2008.  I can logon to the Respository Explorer, but when I try to access a report, I receive the folllowing message:
    ================================================================
    The report could not be opened from BusinessObjects Enterprise.
    Possibly the report is on a different BusinessObjects Enterprise system than the one you are currently logged onto.  If this problem persists, please contact your admistrator.
    ================================================================
    The server administrator has tried his profile and gets the same message
    I installed CR2008 on a different PC and can access without problems
    I had Crystal XIR2 installed and uninstalled it prior to CR2008
    I also had Crystal Beta for VS2020 that I uniinstalled prior to installing CR2008.
    I've tried suspending my virus protection and firewall
    It doesn't seem to be a secuity issue, but something is blocking access.  I assumed the problem would go away after uninstalling the other versions of crystal and running a registry cleaner, but I still have the same problem.
    Any Suggestions??

    Hi,
    One of the probable causes of this error message is when the Input File Repository Server (FRS) is stopped, disabled, or is not accessible over the network.
    In addition to what Philip has recommended, i would suggest you to first verify if your IFRS server is started and enabled. Also, kindly perform the port binding for the IFRS server by:
    1. Login to CMC with an Administrator account.
    2. Navigate to Servers >> Input File Repository Server >> Properties
    3. Check the Request Port button and assign a port number.
    4. Also assign the IP Address of the Server in IP Address radio button.
    5. Restart the server and test the issue.
    I hope it works for you.

  • Need help in Report From SQL Query

    Hi All,
    I am facing a problem with a report. I need your help.
    I am creating a Report From SQL Query (Portal) with some arguments passed at runtime. I am able to view the output, if the query returns few rows ( arount 1000 rows). But for some inputs it needs to generate >15000 records, at this point the page is getting time out (i think!) and showing error page. I am able to execute query from the SQL Plus console ot using TOAD editor. Here the query is not taking more that 2 mins time to show the result.
    If i am executing from Portal i observed that, once i give the appropriate input and hit submit button a new oracle process is getting created for the query on UNIX (I am usign "TOP" command to check processes). The browser page will be shown error page after 5 minutes (i am assuming session time out!) , but on the backend the process will be executed for more than 30 mins.
    I tried also increase the page time out in httpd.conf, but no use.
    The data returned as a result of the query is sized more than 10 MB. Is caching this much data is possible by the browser page? is the returned data is creating any problem here.
    Please help me to find appropriate reasone for the failure?

    There could be a variety of reasons for the delayed processing of this report. That includes parameter settings for that page, cache settings, network configurations, etc.
    - explore best optimization for your query;
    - evaluate portal for best performance configuration; you may follow this note (Doc ID: *438794.1* ) for ideas;
    - third: for that particular page carrying that report, you can use caching wisely. browser cache is neither decent for large files, nor practical. instead, explore the page cache settings that portal provides.
    - also look for various log files (application.log and apache logs) if you are getting any warnings reflecting on some kind of processing halt.
    - and last but not the least: if you happen to bring up a portal report with more than 10000 rows for display then think about the usage of the report. Evaluate whether that report is good/useful for anything?

  • Copy reports from one business objects server to another

    How do I copy all the reports published in my production BO server to my test server. I did this once but can not remember. Is it the import wizzard?

    yes you can use the import wizard to export your reports from one server to another server
    just open the import wizard, connect to your source server, choose object types you want to export (folders, reports, users,,,,etc),,, then choose the objects itself, then connect to the destination server, and the import wizard will guide you through this process.
    good luck

  • Upgrading a Report from Crystal Reports 10 to Crystal Reports 11

    Post Author: Chakradhar
    CA Forum: Upgrade to XI 3.0
    HI All,
    Please provide a solution for this..
    Is there any way to change the version of a report without redesigning the report?
    If we upgrade the report without redisign, dont we lose the special features of the new version.
    Actually i want to the change from Crystal Reports 10 to Crystal Reports 11.

    Hi Chakradhar,
    You can open an older version of the report in a new version of designer and just saving it again will automatically convert the version to the new version. To utilized new features you must modify the report and add the new features.

  • Need to copy files from multiple machine to multiple locations on server in daily basis

    My scenario is below:
    1. I have 20 machines and data for backup would be on only in one folder of each machine.
    2. Need to create 20 folders in server and copy the corresponding machine's data to the respective folder daily.
    3. Data copy should be appending (Should not be duplication).
    4. Also need notification if any failure.
    Let me know whether schedule task / script which would be better to server this

    Create a robocopy script to copy data from 20 different folders,
    In Robocopy command you have switches to append the data,
    You can enable logging for this script, If its failes / error - it will update in log file.
    Create a schedule task and run this script according to your timings,

  • Urgent Help Needed in scheduling reports from BI Publisher

    Hi,
    I have configure the scheduler service on my windows server. Now i am trying to schedule a report from BI pubisher. But it is not working. When i click submit button, It is not doing anything. It seems it adds entry in the job schedule table. Even when i click schedules link, it shows just show progress status on explorer status bar but nothing happens.
    Any help would be on this would be highly appretiated.
    Thanks,
    Prasad

    Have you actually checked the scheduler tab to see what the report did? BI Publisher will not just tell you if a job fails unless you have your email server configured then you tell it to email you if the job fails. Also, be patient because it can take up to 5 or 10 minutes for a report to completely run for a 40000 row dataset. If you check the scheduler tab and the job failed, check your RTF Template. I have discovered through trial and error that BIP is picky about how you do your tags, especially loop tags. These would allow you to view the report online but cause BIP scheduled reports to fail on the report. Other than that, have you installed the scheduler database and tied it in? BIP has its own database schema you have to install somewhere on an database server that it stores scheduling information in.
    I hope this helps.
