Not a 4.x or earlier version of Crystal reports error

To all:
I'm using Crystal 8.5 (CR) to report on data stored in a SQL 2005 database through a Prolog Manager 2007R2 (PM) interface.  CR is not connected to SQL in a native fashion.  It gets to the data via .ttx files through PM that define the data types and locations.
I have a report that is getting the "Not a 4.x or earlier version of Crytal reports" for me and "Out of memory" error for others on the network.  I made an exact copy of the database and restored it on my local machine so I could troubleshoot the errors.  I thought the errors could have been server / network related but since restoring it on my local machine, which also has the PM software installed on it, I am able to recreate the "not a 4.x" error.  The error only seems to trigger when I report on larger number of records.  It's fine on lesser record counts.
I do have 2 linked subreports (SR) in it and I am using "underlay following setions" to get the data from one SR in D1 section to show up in D2 which is showing data from the main data group.  Does anyone out there have any experience in this error?  I can't purchase a singe support case because CR 8.5 isn't supported any longer.

Hi Gary,
I don't believe that error is generated by CR, CR is just passing it through from Prolog. You may want to post this issue to the Prolog forums. Or have a really close look at the ttx format and compare it to our sample ttx file. I don't recall where it is now though.
Thank you
Don

  • How is the best way to install the latest version of Crystal Reports 2008

    I have been downloading for hours all the service packs, hot fixes, fix packs  and chasing my tail for way too long on this.
    I keep getting errors about a file being out of sequence.... I assume there is a very loooooong list of fixpacks that need to be applied!!!    This is such a nightmare.
    Is there a simple way to just install the latest version of 2008 Crystal Reports?
    If I have to follow a long sequence of updates, is it written down anywhere?
    The reason for this in the firstplace is because I moved to Visual Studio 2010  with .Net 4.0 framework and now none of my crystal reports work.
    I am using the full version of Crystal Reports 2008 installation, not the one built into Visual Studio
    HELP!!!!!!

    When I try installing SP2 it starts the update and just locks up... no errors... just sits there.  I let it sit for about an hour.
    Is it compatible with Windows 7 ?
    When I tried installing a fixpack, I kept getting errors that a file was out of sequence.   I will try uninstalling all of Crystal and just reinstall in this order:
    1. Crystal Reports 2008 from CD
    2. Install Crystal Reports 2008 SP2  
    3. Install FixPack 2.6
    This is what I tried the first time and got all the errors, but I will try it again...   is this correct?  
    (I don't need to install SP0 or SP1 or any other Fixpacks.... Correct?)

  • Trial version of crystal report

    Hi,
    Do anyone know where to download trial version of crystal report and components to connect R3? Thx.

    Hi,
    You can integrate CR 2008 SP1 with R3.
    Download CR 2008 trial version from here  - http://www.businessobjects.com/campaigns/forms/downloads/crystal/2008/default.asp
    Also you need to install SP1 in order to integrate it with SP1.
    Also I don't know that trail version of CR 2008 Sp1 can be integrated with R3 or not.
    Note:- Currently CR 2008 SP1 is not available.
    Hope it helps,
    Regards,

  • Where can I find which versions of Crystal Reports are compatible with the Runtimes?

    The Crystal Runtimes run reports authored in Crystal Reports.  Where is it documented which version of Crystal Reports can be used to author reports for which version of the Runtimes?
    If I use the latest Runtimes can I consume reports authored in any version of Crystal Reports, e.g. Crystal Reports version 10?  Or Crystal Reports 2013?

    Latest runtimes is rather vague(?), but yes the runtime for CR 2008 and "SAP Crystal Reports, Developer Version for Visual Studio .NET" will have no issues running reports create in previous versions of CR - all that way back to CR 9.x. After that, it gets more difficult the further back you go.
    As for reports create in CR 2011 and / or CR 2013 no issue in "SAP Crystal Reports, Developer Version for Visual Studio .NET", guaranteed. Using those reports in CR 2008 should also not be an issue - e.g. I can't think of any features introduced in CR 2011 / 2013 that would not work in CR 2008.

  • Which version of Crystal Report XI do I have?

    Post Author: MarinoDp
    CA Forum: .NET
    Hello everybody.I know this may sounds odd, but I'm currently facing some problems (about PDF output) that should have been resolved with Crystal Reports R2 and I'm not sure which version I have. The fact is that all the 'old' developers left the company and currently no one exactly knows which version of Crystal Report we use.The embedded .msi we install is named "CrystalReports11_NET_EmbeddedInstall.msi" and all the dll versions are numbered "11.0.0.1424".So, is this R1 and I have to upgrade to R2 or my problems are due to something else? Thank you in advance, Marino Della Puppa

    11.0.xxx is R1, not R2.

  • What version of Crystal Reports do I need for ClickOnce Deployment VS2005?

    Hello,
    I have a Windows application that is currently being maintained in VS2005. Eventully we plan to upgrade to VS2008 but for now this is what we are using.
    I used the version of Crystal Reports that shipped with VS2005 to build some reports. Now I need to deploy them and I prefer to use ClickOnce. Some time ago, I checked into this process and only one specific version of Crystal could accomplish what I needed: CR XI R2.
    Now that Crystal 2008 has been released, I am curious if I can use it as a direct replacement for this package, or if it only supports ClickOnce on VS2008, or if there are any other deployment or version mismatch issues I need to be aware of. If CR XI R2 is still the only option I have for ClickOnce with VS2005, please let me know so I can buy that package instead.
    Thanks

    You can use click once with .NET 2005 and .NET 2008. Click once MSI is here:
    https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100005986302008E/cr120_clickonce.zip
    CR XI r2 and CR 2008 are side by side compatible, so if you have apps using the two runtimes on the same computer, it should not be an issue.

  • Reports are note retreieved by the application if opened in Crystal Report

    Hi to all.
    I am trying to modify one report used by an application I use. The application is made with .NET and, when I launch a preview or a print of this report, the report is not loaded if it is already opened in Crystal Report. To have it loaded, I must close it from Crystal.
    Some time ago (july 2011), this was not a problem. I don't know if .NET version is changed or if Crystal is upgraded. I have CR Developer 12.2.0.290 version installed and the application runs under .NET frameworks from 2 to 4. In tehs erver machine are also installed CR Basic Runtime for V.S. 2008 and C.R 11_5 NetSetup.
    Does anybody know if I can try previews whit RPT opened in C.R ?
    Many Thanks.

    You should be able to. I am not aware of this being a problem with CR 2008 (12.x). There was an issue like this with CR2010, but SP2 solved that. Lets' see what SP4 for CR 2008 does for you:
    SP4

  • Which version of crystal reports can link to Windev 14 and SQL server 2008 applications

    I am developing an application with windev 14 and sql server 2008, i would like to know which version of crystal report can i use?

    Hi GS,
    Move to .NET SDK forum.
    I don't know how CR for Visual Studio will integrate into WinDev but to get the installer for VS 2010/2012/2013 go to this page:
    SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio: Updates & Runtime Downloads
    It's the runtime for CR 2011 or 2013 now.
    As for SQL 2008 you need to install the Client tools and when creating reports use the SQLNCLI10.dll as the client DB driver for ODBC or OLE DB.

  • What version of crystal report distribution should I install? CRforVS_redist_install_32bit_13_0_5 or CRforVS_redist_install_64bit_13_0_5

    Hi,
      On Production server, we use window 2008, 32 bit machine, the application is visual studio 2010, sql 2012, what version of crystal report should I install for this production server?
      I should install CRforVS_redist_install_32bit_13_0_5 or CRforVS_redist_install_64bit_13_0_5?
      On test server, we use window 2008 R2, 64 bit machine, the application is visual studio 2010, sql 2012, I install both version in order to make the crystal report working correctly on the application.  if I miss one of them, there are some crystal report function doesn't work..
      For production server, we want to install only one, so, could you give me suggestion which version is correct version to make the crystal report work totally correctly on the VS application?
    thanks
    Kelvin

    Hi Kelvin
    First, you should really be using SP 10.
    next, if your app is compiled as 32 bit, deploy 32 bit runtime.
    If it is compiled as 64 bit, deploy 64 bit runtime.
    If it is compiled as Any CPU and deployed to a 64 bit OS, install 64 bit runtime.

    Thanks for your support in advance.
    Regards

    Hi Siva,
    The latest version of Crystal reports is version 12.which is released in 2008.
    You can find more info below regarding the version and history of Crystal reports.
    The product was originally created by Crystal Services Inc. as Quik Reports[2] when they couldn't find a suitable commercial report writer for their accounting software. After producing versions 1.0 through 3.0, the company was acquired in 1994 by Seagate Technology.[3] Crystal Services renamed itself to Seagate Software, and later Crystal Decisions,[4] and produced versions 4.0 through 9.0. Crystal Decisions was acquired in December 2003 by Business Objects, which has so far produced versions 10, 11 (XI) and the current version 12 (2008). Business Objects was acquired by SAP on October 8, 2007.

  • When will the next version of Crystal Reports be released ?

    I had asked this question last year and was told by the SAP agent there would be a new version of Crystal Reports released in 2015. Is this still true ? Are I better to wait or should I be looking to migrate to 2013 (currently on 2011) ?
    Thanks

    Hi Craig,
    CR 2013 is just a rebranded CR 2011 that was released alongside BI 4.1.
    I can't say for sure if 2015 is the year when a 'new' CR version would be released.
