Crystal Report Print Engine API calls from Powerbuilder

I am using Crystal Report XI R2 with Powerbuilder 9.0. I am using Crystal Report API calls using crpe32.dll to display my reports. When i run my reports from my development machine where Crystal Reports is installed the reports run properly, but when i deploy my application on a server where Crystal Reports is not installed the report gives me error "Report has not been opened" , Error 599.
The database logon info is properly set in the RPT file.
I want to know whether it is possible to run reports without installing Crystal Reports and how do you do it?

Somehow, you will have to install the CR runtime...
Probably the best way will be to create a deployment project using a utility such as InstallShield, Wise, MS Visual Installer, etc. Use the RDC merge modules and add the crpe32.dll to the deployment project, ensuring the crpe32.dll is installed into the ...\3.5\bin directory. The Correct msm files are here:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009381702008E/crxir2sp4_rdc_mm.zip
BTW., using the print engine APIs... Not something recommended, nor supported. Last header files for the crpe APIs shipped in version 9...

Failed to read data from report file : Reason: Crystal Reports: Print Engin

Hi,
When we try to migrate the crystal reports from BO R2 to BO R3, some of the reports are faling with the error:
Failed to create a new Report.Reason: Failed to read data from report file C:\DOCUME~1\xxxxx.rpt. Reason: Crystal Reports: Print Engine Error
Would please someone help me in fixing the issue.
Thanks and Regards,

Few quick checks to identify the cause -
1. Are you able to run report in your R2 system?
2. In XI3.1, check SIA running on which account.
3. Check the acount have sufficient rights on file system and registry.
4. What's your web server?
Give proper rights and import again. Hopefully it will resolve.

Can't Print Landscape from Crystal Reports Viewer XI

Post Author: conrad
CA Forum: General
Product: Crystal Reports Viewer XI, version 12.0.0.r130_v20070725 and
Crystal Reports XI, version 11.0.0.1282
Patches Applied: none
Operating System(s): XP Pro SP2
Database(s):
Error Messages: noneSteps to Reproduce:
Download and install Crystal Reports Viewer XI
Open a Crystal Report that prints landscape.
Save report with data.
Open that report with Crystal Reports Viewer XI. Report will display landscape.
Click Print..OK
Viewer will attempt to scale output to fit on portrait paper, with varying degrees of success.
Checking the properties of the report from Viewer (File...Report Properties...) shows a "Page Orientation" of "Landscape" and a message "Page Orientation and size defined by the application (no page information set by report author)."
Any ideas on how to get the report to print landscape? It prints that way from Crystal Reports XI.

Hello Glenda,
as you refer to the legacy technology I recommend to post this query to the [Legacy Application Development SDKs|SAP Crystal Reports - Legacy SDKs; forum.
This forum is dedicated to topics related to legacy SDKs, including the Report Designer Component (RDC), OCX, VCL, and Crystal Reports Print Engine (CRPE).
It is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
Also, all Legacy Application Development SDKs queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.
Thanks a lot,

After that i move all the query to view in SQL server , it's take 1-2 minutes to print preview some time more.. But i think that it's still slow. Does any one know how to print preview fast. Just like in PLD.
Thanks in advance

Problem in Printing and Reporting Crystal Report

Hai,
I'm Using VS2010 and SQL Server.
The below code is I have used in my page for Crystal report
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
//Here I retrieve User Name from another page using session
lblUserName.Text = Session["empName"].ToString();
protected void btnReport_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
ReportDocument rdoc = new ReportDocument();
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection("Data Source=SERVICETEAM-PC;Initial Catalog=salaryReg;User ID=sa;Password=kavi");
con.Open();
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SalaryEarnings1", con);
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
da.Fill(dt);
rdoc.Load(Server.MapPath("CrystalReport.rpt"));
rdoc.SetDataSource(dt);
rdoc.SetParameterValue("empName", lblUserName.Text);
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = rdoc;
CrystalReportViewer1.DataBind();
con.Close();
this is the code I've used to generate crystal report in one of my asp.net web site under button click event. This create report without any errors but after that when
i click print button on crystal report tool bar print function is not working and when try to do Exporting the report it asks for further details by giving a window like this
The report you requested requires further information.

Thanks in advance

Hi,
Basically Crystal report run with SQL statement, I would suggest to do well performance tuning on SQL query / Store Procedure.
Structure your query in DBA manner that will make some how faster such as use ( inner join, less condition,...)..
also if it simple query then use Command in Crystal report rather store Procedure..that make some how Faster your report.
Thanks

ORA-20001: The printing engine..Is this related to a BIP licensing issue?

Hello all,
The error "ORA-20001: The printing engine could not be reached because either the URL..." happens in 2 cases:
<pre>
1. When our BIP is down or being bumped
2. As an APEX administrator, in workspace environment settings, the print server is set to OFF.
</pre>
I'm thinking that this is a licensing issue but I need some clarification on what is causing the error, because all we are trying to do is bring up a PDF report that a user can open or save. BIP is not involved at this point. Is it because the report was developed using BIP that APEX needs BIP up? How does APEX even know the report was developed using BIP? Were are using APEX 3.2.1.00.12 and BIP 10.1.3.4.1
The error happens when a user clicks on a PDF icon that calls an "After Submit Process". The following is the code and the report that was created in BIP is loaded into APEX with a "Named Columns (RTF)" layout type.
Alex.

7. Enabling Network Services in Oracle Database 11g
By default, the ability to interact with network services is disabled in Oracle Database 11g release 1 (11.1). Therefore, if running Oracle Application Express with Oracle Database 11g release 1 (11.1), use the new DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN package to grant connect privileges to any host for the FLOWS_030100 database user. Failing to grant these privileges results in issues with PDF/report printing, specifically, you will get the following error message:
ORA-20001: The printing engine could not be reached because either the URL specified is incorrect or a proxy URL needs to be specified.
Follow the steps mentioned in the Oracle Application Express Installation Guide, Enabling Network Services in Oracle Database 11g. Also refer to the troubleshooting section in case you receive an ORA-44416: Invalid ACL error after running the previous script.

InDesign CS3 Print Engine Error and Corrupt Print Dialog Box

We are a networked office working on various files off of a server. After setting print settings in the print dialog box and saving the file, when another user (or the same user) reopens the file, the Print dialog box settings are changed in a bizarre, corrupted way, and the file will not print. We get the following error:
Printing Error: The Adobe Print Engine has failed to output your data due to an unknown problem.
and printing fails to the HP LaserJet 4240 PS (64 MB RAM).
We all use Windows XP, SP2, Dualcore 3 GHz Pentium Processors with 3.5 GB of RAM.
Specifically, the Print dialog box shows these strange settings:
Scaling gets set to 0%, copies are set to 0
Spreads are turned on
Print Visible Guides and Baseline Grids are turned on
All printers marks are turned on, offset is set to 0
Use document bleed settings is turned on, include slug area is selected
Output Text as Black is turned on
Omit for OPI has all 3 file formats selected (EPS, PDF, and Bitmap)
Usually resetting the Print dialog box and saving the file allows us to print but then the next time we open the file, the Print settings are corrupted again.
Any solutions? Or any fixes in the works?
Thanks for your help!

We currently only notice this problem with files associated with one project. The project is a book of many chapters, each with it's own file. The problem affects multiple files and multiple users (4 out of 5 people working on these files have experienced the problem). It may very well be a problem caused by a different user opening the files after another has closed them.
We have a LAN with multiple Dell servers running Windows 2003 and many end-user PCs using Windows XP. All printers are on the network but printing occurs locally, meaning that data sent to a printer does not go through a server.
We could test the problem by copying a chapter to one person's computer and making them the only person who works on it for a day or two. It's just hard to do so because different people have different duties to perform on all files.
Thanks for your help!
