Problem using Crystal Reports 2008 with DB/C FS ODBC Datasource.

HI,
I'm trying to use Crystal Reports 2008 to connect to an ODBC datasource that using the DB/C FS driver from dbcsoftware (www.dbcsoftware.com).  When I connect to the source and add a table it shows all string fields as 255 characters long when that is not the case in the data definition for the driver.
This issue has been brought up and resolved in previous versions of Crystal Reports.  In Crystal Reports XI it was ADAPT ticket 00307997.  It's worth noting that even though this issue says it was resolved in version XI with service pack 4 I still experience it in that version of CR as well. 
If anyone has a solution to this for Crystal Reports 2008 please share.
Thank you,
David Guthu

Hi David,
Looking over the Adapt it was fixed in CR XI R2 Service Pack 4. CR XI is not the same so not sure if this is a typo or not.
I don't see a branch for CR 2008 so I'll create one for you but this may be a different issue. The adapt was for all fields coming back as 65K and not 255. Also this was tracked in 2004 and fixes created for all versions of Cr at the time. These fixes get rolled forward so I'm thinking FS changed their driver with their latest build or at some earlier build.
Note from Developer:
DBCFS ODBC driver return meta data (e.g. column type) as SQL_DOUBLE instead of SQL_NUMERIC.
ODBC bind as SQL_DOUBLE or SQL_NUMERIC but always retrieve data (in this case column type) as SQL_NUMERIC.
Have you contacted FS to see if they have any patches or updates available? Are they following ANSII 92 Standards?
To build a business case for this issue can you purchase a single support case, once it's been resolved you can get a refund, the reason being it adds more weight to the issue and we can escalate it at a higher level. Otherwise it goes in as a low priority issue and no fix date set.
Also, we can then pass files back and forth etc. which we can not do through forums.
Can you turn on ODBC tracing? I would like to see what the trace file shows.
Thank you
Don

  • Server error in printing in server using crystal report 2008 with VS2008

    Hi,
    We are using Crystal report 2008 in VS 2008. Everything working fine in local but when we deployed it in the server we are getting the below while print the report.
    "An error occurred on the server. Printing will be stopped. Would you like to view the error information"
    Anyhow the report is printing but I don't know why this error is occur and how to stop this. I had installed the CR runtime in the server. I dont know what is going wrong. The same we tested locally in a non crystal report installed PC.
    Please help me to get rid out of this error.
    Thanks
    Natraj

    Soemthing strange going on here.
    Typically this Integrated vs Classic is an issue with images where Classic uses web.config tags between <system.web><httpHandlers><u2026 crystalimagehandler../></httphandlers></system.web>
    Integrated uses tags between <system.webserver>u2026<handlers><..crystalimagehandler/></handlers></system.webserver>
    Not sure why this would affect printing.  Do you have tags that specifying where to download the printcontrol from?  On the other hand, I would think that if images had anything to do with it, then you'd get red Xs when viewing.  As far as I know, the printcontrol.cab doesnu2019t need to be specified in the <system.webserver> tags.
    This one may be best resolved over the phone. Phone support can be obtained here:

  • Problems Using Crystal Reports 2008 sample reports in CR2008 Basic

    I just downloaded Crystal Reports 2008 sample reports  from   
    [Service Packs, Hot Fixes, Samples, and Utilities|http://service.sap.com/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000714768&_SCENARIO=01100035870000000202&] to use them with  CR2008 Basic. I have trouble using them . It tries to connect to to a website to download an xml file. Has anyone tried these sample reports in CR2008 Basic ?

    From the portal you have mentioned, I had downloaded, "Crystal Reports 2008 sample reports - Demonstration" (demo_smpl.zip) which had three reports - Comparative Income Statement.rpt, Order Processing Efficiency Dashboard.rpt, World Sales Report.rpt.
    These reports work fine for me.

  • Problem in Crystal Report 2008 selectionFormula

    Post Author: saro_j
    CA Forum: Crystal Reports
    Hi,
    I am having a strange problem in Crystal report 2008. Earlier I was using VS 2005 Crystal report. Then we purchased Crystal report 2008.
    When I open the VS 2005 projects it asks the reports to convert into Crystal report 2008. I did that.
    Earlier I was using the following syntax for passing the date as selectionFormula
    Dim selectionFormula As String = "{tblClient.Name} = '" & ddlClient.SelectedItem.Text & "' and {TBILL_File_Format.Week Ending Date} = #" _& Convert.ToDateTime(DtCtrlProDateFrom.DateTimeValue) & "#u201D WeeklyReportByClientNameReport.DataDefinition.RecordSelectionFormula = selectionFormula
    But now when I run this same it says
    This field name is not known. Details: errorkind Error in the file rptWeeklyReport.rpt: Error in formula Record_selection: 
    u2018{tblClient.Name} = 'ABC10' and "{TBILL_File_Format.Week Ending Date} = #04/20/2008#u2019 This field name is not known. Details: errorkind
    I have no idea about this
    Even If I tried to pass as follows
    selectionFormula = "{TBILL_File_Format.Week Ending Date} = DateTime (2008, 04, 25, 00, 00, 00) and {TBILL_File_Format.Client Code} = 'ABC10' "
    I couldnu2019t see any record on the report except Grouptree of the report. If I export the report it has all the data as I expected.
    Please help me out on this regards.
    Thanks in advance

    Hello,
    I use CR2008 and VS2005, it never asked me to convert the file into VS2005. What do you mean by VS 2005 asked you to convert the file? Did you make the file in CR2008 and then imported it into VS2005 as a Report Document?
    I usually create a report on CR2008 and then move that report (copy) to the same folder as VS project folder, then from there I create a new Report Doc in VS and open the file.
    As you mentioned when you export the report it works fine but when you run it it gives errors. I think it is because of the import of the report. Look at the error message as it says the field name is not known, I suspect it is not connected/imported properly.
    "This field name is not known. Details: errorkind Error in the file rptWeeklyReport.rpt: Error in formula Record_selection: 
    u2018{tblClient.Name} = 'ABC10' and "{TBILL_File_Format.Week Ending Date} = #04/20/2008#u2019 This field name is not known. Details: errorkind"
    I think it is becasue of the import of the report or could be becasue you didnt save the report with an option of "save report data". Check your report and reimport it. might fix the problem:D

  • Crystal Reports 2008 with BO Enterprise XI 3.1

    Hi All,
    We are in the process of implementing CR2008 with BO Enterprise XI 3.1.
    We have completed the installation successfully. We can connect from CR2008 client desktop directly to BI-7 using the BO SAP Connector. But We have the following issues,
    1) On CMC (OB Ent Server) we don't see any business object related roles in the list of values under the authorization. We see 3 J2EE related roles only.  We did everything according to the documentation. Changed JCO (sapjco.jar) along with the DLLs to various versions and even changed the 64bit to 32bit but no luck. Classpath is also set in Tomcat but still we don't see any of the BO related roles.
    2) We have created a connection to universe using Designer (BO Ent). But when we try to connect from CR2008 to universe though the Business Object Enterprise Server using the client desktops, we can only select the fields for the query. But when we try to confirm the query we get a message saying NOT LOGGED ON.
    Are we doing the right thing ? We have BI-7 installed on Windows 2003 (64 Bit Server) and BO Enterprise Server XI 3.1 and SAP Connector XI 3.1 Server was also installed on the same server. We have client desktops with Crystal Report 2008 with SAP Connector Client installed.
    What are we missing ?
    Appreciate if you could kindly help us to get this problem solved as this is dragging for a while now.
    Thanks a lot in advance.

  • Need alternative for activex print control using Crystal reports 2008

    I have created a .Net web application (2.0/3.5 .Net framework) with crystal reports 2008.
    Reports are viewed using Crystal reports 2008 activex viewer.
    On click of PRINT icon in activex viewer, activex print control download prompt will be displayed on client machine.
    I need to avoid downloading of activex print control on client machine. Is there any other alternative or option to use print functionality in viewer without downloading activex print control on client machine?
    Or Is there any other workaround for print functionality in Crystal reports 2008 Viewer without downloading activex print control?
    Note: Activex print control download prompt will not be displayed when using Crystal reprots XI Release 2 version.
    Thanks,
    Jagannath

    Does anyone know which files need to be registered for the ActiveX print control?  We occasionally have users who somehow break their Crystal ActiveX controls, and they can no longer see the print options.  In Crystal 10, I was able to fix these issues by pushing a package which registered several files on the user's computer.

  • How to integrate Crystal Report 2008 with java

    Currently we are using Crystal Report XI with our application, it is working fine. Now we are updating to Crystal Report 2008.
    We have build our application in enterprise archive file. There is a web archive file(.war) file in the EAR file which contains the crystal report. Inside the .war file we have reports folder which contain jsps and rpt folder. the jsps folder contains the crystalreportviewers12 folder and .jsp files. The rpt folder contain the.rpt files. The WEB-INF which is at the reports folder leavel contains the classes and lib folder.  The crystal report jars are in the lib folder and the CRConfig.xml file inside the classes folder.  I replaced all the crystal report jar with Crystal Report 2008 jars, modified the web.xml and the CRConfig.xml file accordingly. When I opened the report it gave me an error.
    When the following line was execuated in the jsp:
    reportClientDocument.open(report, 0);
    it gave me following error:

    Hello Ted,
    As per the samples in the link provided by you I identified that the following statement was missing.
    reportClientDocument.setReportAppServer(ReportClientDocument.inprocConnectionString);
    After adding this statement the jsp was not able to compile, it gave me an error:
    ReportClientDocument.inprocConnectionString cannot be resolved
    Now my queries are:
    1. What is Report Application server(RAS)?
    2. Is it required to set Report application server in JSP page? It was not required in Crystal Reports XI. If YES, then how to configure RAS inside our applications WAR file?
    3. I am using WebSphere Application Server for deploying the WEB Archive file (WAR file). The Crystal Reports 2008  library (JARS) are embedded inside the WEB-INF/lib folder. How to specify the RAS server inside thhe WAR file? Is it some XML configuration file which we have to keep at WEB-INF level? Or we have to modify the existing CRConfig.xml file?
    4. I would like to mention here that we have bundled crystalreportviewers12/ folder in our WAR file at the same level where reports JSP pages exits.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Can we use Crystal Reports 2008 tool to directly reports on SAP R\3 data?

    Hi,
    Can we use Crystal Reports 2008 Designer to directly reports on SAP R\3 data without any additional Integration Kit for SAP?
    I believe the Integartion Kit is only for reporting on SAP BW data.
    Thanks in advance for your response and any additinal details you can provide.
    Thanks,

  • Can we create Multi Tabbed excel Sheet using Crystal Reports 2008

    Hi,
      We want to create a Crystal Report which will export the output as multiple Tab's ( we can use sub reports).  Can we create a Multi Tabbed excel Sheet using Crystal Reports 2008 ( not  Crystal reports Basic 2008). Please share any information/links on how to do that.
    Also if it is not supported please let us know which version supports it.
    Thanks,
    Vasu

    At least one of the 3rd-party Crystal Reports Desktop Scheduling tools listed at: http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html provides that functionality.  It allows you to burst a single report so that each Group at level 1 becomes a separate tab.  You can control the tab names (and tab colors) via fields/formulas inside the report.
    You can also automate the process of exporting to (and also replacing or appending to) specified tabs inside existing workbooks.

  • How to view multiple reports using crystal reports 2008

    Hi ,
    I am working on vb6 project where in i am trying to generate reports using crystal reports 2008.
    For this , i am making use of Interop Form Wrapper class in vb6.
    I have a business requirement where in i need to view multiple reports  on my screen.
    please suggest me as to how this can be achieved.
    Thanks in Advance

    Hi Ludek,
    I  am directly now using crystal report viewer control in my vb6 project.
    As mentioned in previous mail, i have created a Interop Wrapper class over crystal report viewer control in .Net using visual studio 2008 and i am making use of wrapper class in my vb6 project.
    I am able to access all the properties that have been defined in my Interop wrapper Class but the only stuff i need is to view multiple reports generated one after the another for a single button click Event.
    Please find below the code that iam using to load and generate reports.
    Note:
    1. frm is the instance of my Interop Wrapper Class built over CR viewer control
    2. All the user defined methods of Wrapper class that you see below will internally call the actual crystalreportviewer   properties defined in my Wrapper class
    Say for e.g   frm.DisplayToolbar(True) will internally  execute  crystalreportViewer1.DisplayToolbar = True
    frm.SetReportSource(strRptFilePath,0)          
    frm.SetSelectionFormula(strrecordSelectionFormula)
    frm.DisplayToolbar(True)               
    frm.ShowExportOption(True)
    frm.ShowPrintOption(True)
    frm.ShowRefreshOption(True)
    frm.ShowPAgeNavigateOption(True)
    frm.ShowZoomOption(True)
    frm.ShowParameterPanelOption(True)
    frm.Show()
    Thanks in Advance

  • How to get the Report Page count using crystal reports 2008

    Hi,
    I  have to implement a business logic where in i will have to display the no. of pages generated for the report
    Say for e.g. crytal report that's generated spans 25 pages in the report.
    Then i will have to display a message to the user after the report generation something like  "25 Pages generated"
    So, how would i get this report page count so that i can fetch the value and display the same to the user.
    Any sample code snippet would be of great help.
    Thanks in Advance

    Hi,
    I am using crystal reports 2008 and i  visited the link forwarded in your previous mail and got the solution for getting the lastpagenumber of the report.
    nPages = crReport.FormatEngine.GetLastPageNumber(New CrystalDecisions.Shared.ReportPageRequestContext)
    but, i don't find FormatEngine  property for ReportDocument object.
    I just wanted to know whether this property is availale in crystal reports 2008 or should i even install any service packs for this.
    Please find below the namespaces that importing in my class
    Imports System.Windows.Forms
    Imports System.Drawing.Printing
    Imports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine
    Imports CrystalDecisions.Shared
    Imports CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms
    Imports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.ViewerObjectModel
    Imports CrystalDecisions.Shared.ReportPageRequestContext
    Please let me know how can i get the formatEngine property for reportdocument object
    Thanks in Advance

  • Using Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 with the Brother 9500PC, 9700PC, and P9800PC

    We have using Crystal Reports with the Brother Label printers for years until we were forced to use Crystal 2008.  The label printers have worked in the past and we usually create a label template in the printer driver and this configuration is stored in the Crystal Report.  These label printers can use several different size cartridges.  When creating a report using the Editor, the report displays and prints correctly using the template embedded into the report.  This is using the updated SP3.3 service pack.  The problem is in the Run Time application that is embedded in another application to run the reports.  When printing a label from the application, the report previews just fine with the correct size and format.  However, when you try to print the label, the run time driver ignores the template embedded in the report and instead uses the default settings for the printer driver.  So, if I have a 1 inch cartridge in the printer, and the default settings for the printer is a 1 1/2 inch cartridge, then the report will try to print assuming there is a 1 1/2 inch cartridge which will cause the application to fail.  This is a problem with Crystal 2008 (12) and we would like to find a solution to this.  Thanks, Doug

    Hi Cameron, 
    You can setup custom label sizes in Crystal.  In the folder where you installed Crystal Reports is a text file called Labels_en.txt.  This contains the label definition Crystal uses.  You can add a new label in here. 
    Now when you open Crystal and create a new report by selecting the Mailing Label Repotr Wizard, you will see your new label when you get to that step. 
    When save a report, the report will do two things.  If you have set the report to a specific printer, Crystal saves the printer and paper settings inside the RPT.  When the print engine runs the report, if it can't find the printer saved in the report it will default to the default printer. 
    What I believe is happening is the application is loading the report and because it can't find the label printer it was designed with it's going to the default printer.  So you do have to set the PrintReportOptions in your application to redirect the report to the correct printer, driver and papersize. 
    This has pretty much been the way since version 4 that I can remember.  The positive side is you don't have to set all the parameters yourself.  You can get the PrintReportOptions from the report when you open it.  Then you just need to pass the printer name, driver and port.  The rest of the options (papersize) will already be populated from the Get. 
    Good luck,
    Brian
