Export from Crystal Reports 2008 viewer fails if run on separate thread

I have a windows desktop application written in Visual Basic using Visual Studio 2008. I have installed and am trying Crystal Reports 2008 to run a report. Everything seems to work well except that when I preview a report (using the viewer control) and click the export button found in the upper left corner of that control, I get the following message:
Error 5: Current thread must be set to single thread apartment (STA) mode before OLE calls can be made. Ensure that your Main function has STAThreadAttribute marked on it. This exception is only raised if a debugger is attached to the process.
I am a little confused on what to do exactly. Is the problem because I am running in the Visual Studio 2008 IDE? It says this exception is only raise if a debugger is attached to the process. No, I tried running it outside the IDE. The exception wasn't generated but the application hung when the button was clicked.
It says the current thread must be set to single thread apartment (STA) mode. If the report is run on its own thread, is the "current" thread the thread the report is running on or is the main application's UI thread? I don't think I want to set my main application to single thread apartment mode because it is a multi-threaded application (although I really don't know for sure because I am new to multi-threaded programming).
My objective is to allow reports to run asynchronously so that the user can do other things while it is being generated. Here is the code I use to do this:
    ' Previews the report using a new thread (asynchronously)
    Public Sub PreviewReportAsynch(ByVal sourceDatabase As clsMainApplicationDatabase)
        Dim backgroundProcess As System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker
        ' Start a new thread to run this report.
        backgroundProcess = New System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker
        Using (backgroundProcess)
            ' Wire the function we want to run to the 'do work' event.
            AddHandler backgroundProcess.DoWork, AddressOf PreviewReportAsynch_Start
            ' Kick off the report asynchronously and return control to the calling process
            backgroundProcess.RunWorkerAsync(sourceDatabase)
        End Using
    End Sub
    Private Sub PreviewReportAsynch_Start(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs)
        ' The source database needed to call preview report was passed as the only argument
        Call PreviewReport(CType(e.Argument, clsMainApplicationDatabase))
    End Sub
    ' Previews the report. From the preview window, the user can print it.
    Public Function PreviewReport(ByVal sourceDatabase As clsMainApplicationDatabase) As FunctionEndedResult
        Dim errorBoxTitle As String
        Dim frmPreview As frmReportPreview
        ' Setup error handling
        errorBoxTitle = "Preview " & Name & " Report"
        PreviewReport = FunctionEndedResult.FAILURE
        On Error GoTo PreviewError
        ' Set up the crxReport object
        If InitializeReportProcess(sourceDatabase) <> FunctionEndedResult.SUCCESS Then
            GoTo PreviewExit
        End If
        ' Use the preview form to preview the report
        frmPreview = New frmReportPreview
        frmPreview.Report = crxReport
        frmPreview.ShowDialog()
        ' Save any settings that should persist from one run to the next
        Call SavePersistentSettings()
        ' If we got this far everything is OK.
        PreviewReport = FunctionEndedResult.SUCCESS
PreviewExit:
        ' Do any cleanup work
        Call CleanupReportProcess(sourceDatabase)
        Exit Function
PreviewError:
        ' Report error then exit gracefully
        ErrorBox(errorBoxTitle)
        Resume PreviewExit
    End Function
The variable crxReport is of type ReportDocument and the windows form called 'frmPreview' has only 1 control, the crystal reports viewer.
The print button on the viewer works fine. Just the export button is failing. Any ideas?

Hi Trevor.
Thank you for the reply. The report document is create on the main UI thread of my application. The preview form is created and destroyed on the separate thread. For reasons I won't get into, restructuring the code to move all the initialization stuff inside the preview form is not an option (OK, if you a really curious, I don't always preview a report, sometimes I print and/or export it directly which means the preview form isn't used).
What I learned through some other research is that there are some things (like COM calls and evidently some OLE automation stuff) that cannot be run on a thread that uses the MTA threading model.   The export button probably uses some of this technology, thus the message stating that an STA threading model is required. I restructured the code as follows to accomodate this requirement. Here is a sample:
' Previews the report using a new thread (asynchronously)
    Public Sub PreviewReportAsynch(ByVal sourceDatabase As clsMainApplicationDatabase)
        Dim staThread As System.Threading.Thread
        ' Start the preview report function on a new thread
        staThread = New System.Threading.Thread(AddressOf PreviewReportAsynchStep1)
        staThread.SetApartmentState(System.Threading.ApartmentState.MTA)
        staThread.Start(sourceDatabase)
    End Sub
    Private Sub PreviewReportAsynchStep1(ByVal sourceDatabase As Object)
        Dim staThread As System.Threading.Thread
        ' Initialize report preview. This includes staging any data and configuring the
        ' crystal report document object for use by the crystal report viewer control.
        If InitializeReportProcess(DirectCast(sourceDatabase, clsMainApplicationDatabase)) = FunctionEndedResult.SUCCESS Then
            ' Show the report to the user. This must be done on an STA thread so we will
            ' start another of that type. See description of PreviewReportAsynchStep2()
            staThread = New System.Threading.Thread(AddressOf PreviewReportAsynchStep2)
            staThread.SetApartmentState(System.Threading.ApartmentState.STA)
            staThread.Start(mcrxReport)
            ' Wait for step 2 to finish. This blocks the current thread, but this thread
            ' isn't the main UI thread and this thread has no UI anymore (the progress
            ' form was closed) so it won't matter that is it blocked.
            staThread.Join()
            ' Save any settings that should persist from one successful run to the next
            Call SavePersistentSettings()
        End If
        ' Release the crystal report
        Call CleanupReportProcess(DirectCast(sourceDatabase, clsMainApplicationDatabase))
    End Sub
    ' The preview form must be launched on a thread that use the single-threaded apartment (STA) model.
    ' Threads use the multi-threaded apartment (MTA) model by default. This is necessary to make the
    ' export and print buttons on the preview form work. They do not work when running on a
    ' thread using MTA.
    Public Sub PreviewReportAsynchStep2(ByVal crxInitializedReport As Object)
        Dim frmPreview As frmReportPreview
        ' Use the preview form to preview the report. The preview form contains the crystal reports viewer control.
        frmPreview = New frmReportPreview
        frmPreview.Report = DirectCast(crxInitializedReport, ReportDocument)
        frmPreview.ShowDialog()
    End Sub
Thanks for your help!

Actually, the question boils down to; does the framework support the fonts?
I believe that my question re. this working in the designer was valid. The designer does not use the framework, so if it works there, it is either a framework issue or a runtime print engine issue.
I believe if you use the code below, it will list fonts available to the framework:
foreach(FontFamily ff in FontFamily.Families)
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(ff.Name);
For more information see kbase [1198306 - Crystal Report displaying incorrect font in Microsoft Visual Studio .NET|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_dev/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333133393338333333303336%7D.do]

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. After upgradation I am facing the problem "Memory full.OtherErrorFailed to export the report.

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?

How to enhance the Excel export from Crystal Reports

Hello,
I am new in Crystal Reports and I wonder if it is possible to enhance the Excel export from Crystal Reports with post-processing that would be applied to the Excel exported file.
By example, is it possible to freeze the window panes, so rows and columns are frozen in place on the screen?
Is there any possibility to obtain the file exported to excel to work with.
Or maybe there is some ways to parametrize the Excel export from Crystal Reports?
Any suggestions are welcomed.

If you are using Crystal Reports 2008 you can use the Report Application SDK that is now available.
It has a object called PrintOutputController that has an export method that allows you to get access to the exported file before you send it to the user.
Check the Developer library and the samples for details.

Bapi Function call from Crystal reports 2008. import parameters syntax.

Dear,
I have an issue with calling a function directly from Crystal reports (2008) in the R3 system.
(if this belongs in another thread , please add the link if moved !)
I try to get data through function "BAPI_CLASS_GET_CLASSIFICATIONS".
Till now all possible input parameters have no data-result.
I already read other threads stating that 'for example' the Language key needs to be provided in a single character. 'E' in stead of 'EN'.
I also already created a Z-wrap-function that fills out all input parameters 'hardcoded'. This works.
clearly there are som syntax changes in passing the values to R3 when called from Crystal Reports.
Can someone state which syntax has to be followed for numeric fields, for datefields etc. (so when i make these dynamical, I know which syntax should be the outcome of the formula)
in my function that doesn't work I use these selections:
(this function is called in a standard report only calling this function)
{BAPI_CLASS_GET_CLASSIFICATIONS_1.I_LANGU_ISO} = "E" and
{BAPI_CLASS_GET_CLASSIFICATIONS_1.I_LANGU_INT} = "E" and
{BAPI_CLASS_GET_CLASSIFICATIONS_1.T_CLASS_OBJECTS.OBJECT_TYPE} = "MARA" and
{BAPI_CLASS_GET_CLASSIFICATIONS_1.T_CLASS_OBJECTS.OBJECT_KEY} = "000000000000000085" and
{BAPI_CLASS_GET_CLASSIFICATIONS_1.I_CLASSNUM} = "DSWTEST" and
{BAPI_CLASS_GET_CLASSIFICATIONS_1.I_CLASSTYPE} = "001" and
{BAPI_CLASS_GET_CLASSIFICATIONS_1.I_KEY_DATE} = Date (2011, 08, 05)
I already tried other languages or the 'EN' as input.
(I would like to know how the date is passed exaclty to R3.)
The function is of course RFC enabled.
when I call the my Z-function with predefined inputparameters in R3 it does give the wanted result.
FUNCTION ZBAPI_CLASS_GET_CLASSIFICATION.
""Local Interface:
*" TABLES
*"      OBJECT_CLASSIFICATION STRUCTURE BAPI_OBJECT_VALUES
*"      CLASS_OBJECTS STRUCTURE BAPI_CLASS_OBJECTS
data ZOBJECT_CLASSIFICATION type TABLE OF BAPI_OBJECT_VALUES.
data ZCLASS_OBJECTS type TABLE OF BAPI_CLASS_OBJECTS WITH HEADER LINE.
ZCLASS_OBJECTS-OBJECT_KEY = '000000000000000085'.
ZCLASS_OBJECTS-OBJECT_TYPE = 'MARA'.
Append ZCLASS_OBJECTS.
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_CLASS_GET_CLASSIFICATIONS'

    CLASSTYPE                    = '001'

    CLASS_OBJECTS                = ZCLASS_OBJECTS
OBJECT_CLASSIFICATION[] = ZOBJECT_CLASSIFICATION[].
ENDFUNCTION.
please advise.
once again if this should be moved to another forum , add the link please!

Dear,
I just debugged my Z-function, after adding all input parameters as in the standard BAPI function.
All parameters seems to be passed correctly except from the table parameters from
CLASS_OBJECTS
So all I_parameters are passed :
{ZBAPI_CLASS_GET_CLASSIFICATION.I_LANGU_INT} = "EN" and
{ZBAPI_CLASS_GET_CLASSIFICATION.I_LANGU_ISO} = "EN" and
{ZBAPI_CLASS_GET_CLASSIFICATION.I_KEY_DATE} = Date (2011, 08, 05) and
{ZBAPI_CLASS_GET_CLASSIFICATION.I_CLASSNUM} = "DSWTEST" and
{ZBAPI_CLASS_GET_CLASSIFICATION.I_CLASSTYPE} = "001" and
{ZBAPI_CLASS_GET_CLASSIFICATION.I_CHARACTS_OF_CLASS_ONLY.BAPIFLAG} = ""
but the table parameters aren't coming through:
{ZBAPI_CLASS_GET_CLASSIFICATION.T_CLASS_OBJECTS.OBJECT_TYPE} = "MARA" and
{ZBAPI_CLASS_GET_CLASSIFICATION.T_CLASS_OBJECTS.OBJECT_KEY} = "000000000000000085" and
these are 'blanco' in the function.
also after the function is executed and all data is retrieved, when passing the data back to Crystal reports, once again, the table result isn't passed to Crystal Reports.
please advise

Some reports do not work after upgraded to Crystal Report 2008

Hi All,
After upgraed from Crystal Report XI to Crystal Report 2008, some reports work fine. others not. All of the not-working reports have the same problem: Database connection failed.
And I can even not be able to create a brand new report. The problem looks like following:
    1. Created a new ASP.NET solution in Visual Studio 2008. The page file is default.aspx
    2. Created an empty Crystal Report file: CrystalReportTEST.rpt
    3. Asign CrystalReportTEST.rpt to default.aspx
    4. Run default.aspx. It works fine
    5. Just connect to database without place any field to the report
    6. Run default.aspx again. It does not work. It shows blank screen with the message "Database logon failed." on the top-left corner.

Triple

Crystal Report 2008 SP2 & InfoView: Custom XML Export doesnt work

Hi,
I have created a Crystal Report .rpt and want to use the custom xml export function to output a custom xml file. For that, I created a custom transformation file (xsl) and imported it into the .rpt . On the client machine, if I open the .rpt with Crystal Reports 2008 SP2, and select to export it using the custom xml output, all runs fine. (under SP1, only half the file was created...)
If I upload the .rpt file to Infoview (server-side: BO Enterprise 3.1, SP2 as well) and schedule it, I can select xml, and then my custom xml as output format, but I am getting the error message u201EUngültige Exportoptionen" (="invalid export options"), in the instance history. No output file is created. I use file system as destination. Other output formats like .pdf and .rpt work fine and files are created.
Ideas:
-Are there any more settings needed on the server (e.g.CMC - Crystal Server Jobs, other Processes, ...) so I can schedule the report and successfully create the custom xml format file as output?
-Do I need to upgrade to a specific SP or FP on server-side so everything runs smooth?
Thanks for your help!

Hi Florian,
I'm having the same problem, have you by any chance found a solution?

Consuming a Web service from Crystal reports 2008 - Error

Hi,
I want to consume a web service from Crystal Reports 2008. I created a New Connection using "XML and Web Services" and given WSDL url as the Web Service location. Crystal Report is able to connect to the WSDL and is displaying the tags correctly. When dragging the output to "Selected Tables' section, I am getting the following error:
"Invalid Argument Provided"
Details: Cannot support ArrayType input parameters.
Kindly help. Apparently this was a limitation in CR XI but does it still exist in CR 2008? Is there any patch available to resolve this issue?
Thanks,

How to overcome the Memory leakage issue in crystal report 2008 SP2 setup.

I have developed the small windows based application tool with help of Visual studio 2008 for identify the memory consumption of crystal report object. It helps to load the crystal report objects in the memory and then released the object from the memory. The tool simply does the u201CLoading and Unloadingu201D the objects in the memory.
The tool will be started once u201CTest_MemoryConsumption.Exeu201D executed. The u201CTest_MemoryConsumption.Exeu201D consumes u201C9768 KBu201D memory before load the crystal report object in memory. It means, 9768 KB is normal memory consumption for run the tool.
Crystal report object initiated by the tool and object help to load the report in memory once the tool initiated the crystal report object. Now u201CTest_MemoryConsumption.Exeu201D consumes u201C34980 KBu201D memory during the crystal report object creation and report load process. The actual memory consumption of crystal report object is 34980u20139768=u201C25212u201DKBu201D.
The memory consumption u201C34980 KBu201D will be continued till the end of the process. The memory consumption will be reduced to u201C34652 KBu201D from u201C34980 KBu201D once report load process completed. It means, u201C328 KBu201D memory only released from the memory consumption. Tool enables the Release command for the crystal report object. But crystal report object does not respond to the command and will not release his memory consumption.
The memory consumption u201C34652 KBu201D will be stayed in the memory once job ends. If i again initiate the crystal report object then it crystal report object start to consume the memory from 34652 KB.
Database objects and crystal report objects are properly used in the tool. The object release commands properly communicated to crystal report setup. But the u201CCrystal report service pack 2u201D setup unable to respond the commands which has enabled from .Net Tool. Crystal report objects are properly initiated and disposed in the tool. But the crystal report unable to release from the server.
The memory consumption will be reduced once the server restarted or kill the application.
Crystal report 2008 and crystal report 2008 SP2 setup available in the server.
Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0 SP2, Microsoft .Net Framework 3.0 SP2 and Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5 SP1 are available in the server,
Could you please suggesst how to avoid the memory consumption keep increasing and how to release the memory consumption once the crystal object disposed???

Hi Don..
My case is different one. I hope, the problem with Run time Installation setup file (Crystal report 2008 Serivce Pack2 installer) which we installed in the server.
Let me explain with Live scenario which our client faced in crystal report 2008 Service pack2 Installer.
Our client is using a application to help to print their reports. The application is developed with Windows service.
Windows service keep on running in the server. Windows service executes the client 's crystal reports( Labels Report, Stock report) which designed for clients need and the reports will be printed from printer.
10 Same type report (Label Report) will be printed in 1 minute. Reports are not printing during non business hours. But the windows service keep on running. Memory cosumption of application will be 160 MB in business hours.
For Example, On Monday the application memory consumption starts with 160 MB. The Memory consumption will be reached 165 MB in peak business hours. Then the memory will be ended in163 MB in the End of Monday. It means, The memory consumption will be in 163 MB during the non business hours. Reports will not be printed in non business hours.
On Tuesday, the application memory consumption starts with 163 MB and it will be reached 168 MB during the peak hours. The Memory consumption will be ended in 165 MB in the end of Tuesday. The same process contiues till friday. End of friday, the memory consumption of the application will be ended with 170 MB.
Application Memory Consumption slowly increasing in the server. In 5 days, Memory consumption reached Threshold value (170 MB) of the server. Application gets hanged up once the memory consumption reached 170 MB. We got the error messages as "Attempted to read write protected memory " / "Not Enough memory for process". If we restart server / If we restart the service then memory consumption of application get reduced to 160 MB.
From the above scenario, We came know that the either the problem with Application object or the problem crystal report object. In the application, We have checked dispose methods of application objects completly. I am sure that application objects are properly disposed in the application. I hope the problem not with application objects. The problem with Crystal report objects.
Application properly communicates the dispose methods to crystal report objects. Crystal report objects are not released from
the memory.
Crystal report 2008 Serive Pack 2 setup installed in the server.
As you said, If Crystal report runtime is not released from memory then memory consumption keep increase??? In service oriented architecture application, how to unload the crystal report runtime??
Do you any fix for this kind of issue??
Willl Crystal report 2008 service pack 3 help on this issue??

Crystal Reports 2008 SP2 Install Error

When I try to install Crystal Reports 2008 SP2 I receive the following error...
The feature you are trying to use is on a CD-ROM or other removable disk that is not available.
Insert the 'Crystal Reports 2008 SP1' disk and click OK.
SP1 was installed via the upgrade utility that launches with the software. I found the package folder in C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Temp but it did not contain the MSI SP2 is looking for.
I've tried installing SP2 by both letting the update utility attempt to automatically install it and by just downloading it from the update utility and running the installation manually.
Anyone experience this issue?

Try downloading SP1 and installing it from your local hard driver and then install SP2. I'll mention this issue to the install team and see what they say about your issue.

Crystal Reports 2008 SP2 - Fix Pack 2.1 Readme

Hi,
Where can I find a readme of the Crystal Reports 2008 SP2 - Fix Pack 2.1 with the list of fixed issues?
Specifically does this fix the issue of dates when using .NET datasets and ADO recordsets (ttx files)?
Regards
Craig

Is this not considered a critical breaking change? I think 6+ months is a long time to wait especially given we had to wait for SP2 in the first place for other fixes. Now we find we cant go to SP2.
Is there anyway to get this esculated?
What if SP3 hs another breaking change?
Hopefully your will locate release notes, why is it that SAP dont appear to make these readily available for new serice packs and fix packs? We seem to go through this everytime?
Craig

Crystal Reports 2008 SP2 - Fix Pack 2.1

I see that Crystal Reports 2008 SP2 - Fix Pack 2.1 has been posted as of 10/26/09. Anybody know what's in it? I didn't see a Read Me. Also, when you download and start to install this, it reports itself as a a Fix Pack for Version 1, but the version on things like CRViewer.dll show a version of 12.2.1.412 and a build date of 2009/10/14, which leads me to believe it really is for SP2.

Moved to Legacy Development forum.
We typically release the merge modules at the same time but sometimes they are delayed getting to our download site.
Go to: SAP Crystal Solutions Downloads and click the Crystal Reports... link in the middle of the page and then select the correct versions and you'll find all of the dowloadables.
If they are not there then let me know and I'll follow up with the guys who publish the files.
Thank you
Don
