Problems with CR used by a Java app when converting from WebSphere v5 to v6

Background:  I have been assigned support of an old Java app, currently running just fine in a WebSphere v5 environment.  It uses CR to produce 4 reports.  Running the app in the WebSphere 6 environment, 2 work and 2 don't.  (!?!?)
I don't know what version of CR the reports were originally designed in - nor do the people who produced them 6 years ago.  I have tried installing (and uninstalling) various versions of CR on my PC (v7, v8, v8.5, v9, v10, v11) to see if I can find one that would work with the .RPT files.  None do.  Either I get a warning that the report file is in an old format and saving it will prevent its use by the older version - whatever that may be...; or it opens the report, but when I click on the Database tab on the menu bar, CR locks up my machine.
It has been decided by my management that it would be best to just upgrade to CR vXI and continue from there.  The XI 'developers edition' is what I am currently running.  However, when I open the .RPT file (one of the ones that work), it takes about 5 minutes; then when I click on the Database menu item, it locks-up my pc.
I have other experience using (back-versions of) CR, but have never run into anything like this.  Has anyone had any experience with upgrading reports designed for Java to the vXI?  Can you provide me with any information, hints, suggestions about how I might proceed?
Thank you, in advance, for any assistance you might be able to render.  Regards,
Jeff Emslie.

Hi, Jadie.
Thanks for the quick response.  It may be the original report definition was designed pointing to SQL/Server v7, then was being overriden by the Java code to SQL v2k - which we are about to convert away from...  I have no experience integrating CR into a Java app.  I don't know how the data source specification works with Java.  That is why the first thing I'm trying to do is to look at the Database connection: to see how its done.
As for the version it was originally written in; I don't know what it is.  No one here knows.  I have tried every (old) version of CR we have in the shop (list above).  None seem to work correctly with these .RPT files.  Do you know of a way to determine the CR version of an unknown .RPT file?
Thanks,
Jeff.

  • Problems with the ActiveX bridge for Java beans when using third-party .jar

    I encountered the following problem when using the ActiveX bridge for a java bean:
    I am using JDK 1.4.2_09 and MS Visual Basic 6.0 (SP6). I wrote a java bean called ProcessViewer (my class ProcessViewer inherits from JComponent and implements the interfaces Serializable and AdjustmentListener) which I would like to use within a VB 6.0 application. I used the ActiveX bridge (packager.exe) to generate a DLL (ProcessViewer.dll) and registered it successfully. The java bean GUI-control works fine within my VB 6.0 application unless my java bean (ProcessViewer.jar) uses any third-party .jar files.
    But when I tried to add a reference to some third-party class (com.sap.xxx.xxx....) I got some problems. I could solve the problem with packager.exe by setting the correct CLASSPATH. But at runtime my VB 6.0 application does not work. It crashes or it reports an error like this: "The control ... could not be loaded from axbridge.dll" (although I deployed my .jar file correctly to the directory C:\Programme\Java\j2re1.4.2_09\axbridge\bin and lib). Setting the CLASSPATH environment variable before calling my VB 6.0 application (exe) did not solve the problem.
    How can I teach my VB 6.0 application (containing the Java bean ActiveX control) where to find the third-party .jar file? Copying the third-party .jar file to the JRE lib-folder or to the axbridge\lib folder did not solve the problem either.
    I studied the documentation about the ActiveX bridge given at:
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/beans/axbridge/developerguide/index.html
    but I am missing informations on how the third-party .jar files can be found during runtime of the ActiveX container (e. g. a VB 6.0 application).

  • Problem With the Web Template in the QA when moved from DEV

    Hi SAP gurus,
    I am Working in BI 7.0 SP16 . Actually I had Designed and Published a web template which generates graphs in the Portal.
    In WAD
    In the chart options, for X-axis, for the text direction i have changed to Diagonal UP and font for the text is "Arial" and style is "bold".
    when I execute the Web template in Development System all the queries , graph and font is working fyn.....but when I transported to the QA system
    the problem is:
    When I executed the Web template in QA , the graph is generating fyn and the queries r running fyn but the font  changed to "Times New Roman " , the direction of the text is "Horizontal" and the style is "Normal"
    and when i checked the chart options in QA i can see all the options are right i.e what i had given in the development system the text direction " Diagonal UP" and font for the text is "Arial" and style is "bold".
    this was the frst graph that i was generated in the WAD in DEV moved to QA.......so wat could be the problem.....Is there any problem vith the configuration issue in the portal side in QA or any connection problem in the portal?

    Problem with new version 4.3.2 apps not working " after update to the new version "
    i was in 4.3.1 then i do the update , but now after update i face this problem , so what i Supposed to do ?!!

    Hi There
    Had the same problem as you. App would terminate when launched.
    Solution to working You Tube app:
    -Go to playstore
    - Uninstall app (it doesn't remove the app, only removes the update)
    - "Et Voila", working again.
    This doesn't correct the problem, it's just a workaround for you to be able to use youtube app again.
    Hope it helped.

    I assumed this would help my problem with not being able to open apps like Preview or TextEdit since I installed Mountain Lion. Instead, first I'm prompted to enter a password, then once I do that, I get an error box telling me the Library needs repairing. So I click on Repair, and once again I'm prompted for a password, which I enter, then the same error box opens, and so it goes. Can anyone help me with this problem? I'd greatly appreciate it.

    Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -Rh $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Step 1 should give you usable permissions in your home folder. This step will restore special attributes set by OS X on some user folders to protect them from unintended deletion or renaming. You can skip this step if you don't consider that protection to be necessary, and if everything is working as expected after step 1.
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not  going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

    I cannot send emails with pics using the stock email app on my new Droid Turbo, it holds them in the Outbox and won't send even if I move to Inbox and resend

    First check to make sure you have data turned on and not just Wi-Fi. From reading your question you seem to be saying e mail is working just not attached photos. What size are the photos as some HD photos can't be sent. Your camera may be set at a very high picture size and you can go to settings and lower the size and that may solve your mailing problem.

    This works for some users. Not sure why.

    Hello everyone,

    We also tried with BAPI_CUSTOMER_GETINTNUMBER, and ACCOUNTGROUP ZINT (New Internet Customer, others won't work?). But CREATEFROMDATA1 takes no CustomerNo created this way, nor it wants to create one 'internal'?

    Hello Brian,
    Thanks for your pointer. Actually The customer's reference number i was providing in the PI_COPYREFERENCE structure was a sold-to party customer and it uses external customer number assignment. When i used "New Internet Customer" (that doesnt use external assignment by default) as customer's account group, the customer was created successfully and assigned customer number was returned.
    I want to ask now how could we give a customer number in the BAPI as i am unable to find any such column in any of the tables. (Customer number is an "out" parameter so it can only return the number of created customer). Secondly, how to chnage the external assignment property of a particular account group (like sold-to party). i.e, how could we change the account group configurations through SAP GUI??

    wen6275,
    It looks like you're actually using a camera or phone to take a photo of your monitor.
    That's not what is commonly known as a "screen shot". 
    It looks like you're on a Mac.  Hitting Command+Shift+3 places a capture of the contents of your entire monitor on your Desktop; hitting Command+Shift+4 will give you a cross-hairs cursor for you to select just the portion you want to capture.
    I'm mentioning this because I fear I'm not construing your original post correctly when you type "I am working with a large files [sic], currently it has 149 layers, all of which are high resolution photographs", so I'm wondering if there's some similar use of your own idiosyncratic nomenclature in your description of your troublesome file.
    Perhaps I'm just having a major senior moment myself, but I'm utterly unable to imagine such a file.  Would you mind elaborating?
