Publish Crystal Reports to the web

I have to see about using Microsoft Services to publish Crystal Reports to the web.One method would be to use Visual Studio.
What are the ways in which to publish Crystal Reports to the web, besides this Visual Studio?

You can use Crystal Reports Server, Edge or BusinessObjects Enterprise. You can also use www.crystalreports.com

List all Published Crystal Reports and the BW Query they are created upon

Hello All
I am wanting to create a list of all Crystal Reports files that have been published to BW and report the the Crystal Reports Name and the BW Query (datasource) name.
At the moment I am opening up each report in crystal and via database expert determining which BW query is used. I have about 120 reports I need to do this for and I would really appreciate if there is an easy way to extract this data.
Even if I am just provided with table names where this linkage is stored would be great as I can then create the report myself.
The Format of the report is really simple
Crystal Report (Doc. Name)................Crystal Report Data Source Name (BW query)
I hope someone can help.
Thanks
Phillip

hi,
the information is available in transaction /crystal/rptadmin.
another option is to use the query tool to ask the system database.

First page appears blank when viewing a Crystal Report in the web viewer

I have seen threads and KB articles regarding this issue but the suggested solutions do not correct the issue. (KB articles [1423482 and 1439109)
The issue only started after upgrading from CR 2008 runtime to CR 2008 SP4 runtime.
When the page containing the viewer control first loads, the report pane is completely blank.
The viewer toolbars appear as expected, and the report can be exported using the Export button on the viewer toolbar without issue.
Changing the zoom level causes the first page of the report to appear as expected, and reverting the zoom level does not cause the report pane to become blank again.
Navigating to the next page of the report works and the second page appears as expected. Returning to the first page shows the first page of the report as expected.
Our application is installed on dozens of servers but this issue only has occurred on a few installations at this time.
Steps attempted to resolve the issue:
1. Uninstall CR 2008 SP4 runtime, confirm the CrystalReportViewers12 folders were removed from the folders C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet_client\system_web\2_0_50727 and C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\4.0, then reinstall CR 2008 SP4 runtime.
2. Ensure there are no underscores in the server name.
3. Change the crystalreportsviewers12 Virtual Directory to use the folder C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet_client\system_web\2_0_50727\CrystalReportViewers12
4. Remove and recreate the crystalrep[ortviewers12 Virtual Directory.
5. Replace the C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet_client\system_web\2_0_50727\CrystalReportViewers12 folder from a server that does not exhibit the issue.
Any new ideas or suggestions? Thanks

Error when Opening a Crystal Report in a Web Application

Hi All,
How are things?
We are trying to open a Crystal report in a Web Application based on a Web service on Appache Tomcat.
The report is in the Test Environment poiting to a SQL 2005 Database.
The report opens and runs fine in Crystal Reports and in Infoview.
The Web application throws back a long error as shown below.
Looks to be like a SDK Issue ( Not pretty sure )...
Could anyone help me out on this?

Error in publishing crystal report

In /crystal/rptadmin I am getting this error when publishing crystal reports

Has anyone experienced the same error before?

Hello Donna,
in this case I recommend to post to the [dedicated SAP Integration Kit|BusinessObjects Integration Kits; forum.
That forum is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
Also, all SAP queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.

Calling a Crystal Report using the ReportViewerBean

Hello...I am writing a java application to display a Seagate Crystal report using the ReportViewerBean.
The problem I am having is trying to display the report within the viewer.
The following is a sample from my code where I create an instance of the viewer bean.
ReportViewerBean rvb = new ReportViewerBean();
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setSize(1000,1000);
frame.getContentPane().add(rvb,BorderLayout.CENTER);
frame.show();
rvb.start();
try
String strUrl = "http://localhost:8080/Report1.rpt";
rvb.setReportName(strUrl);
catch(java.beans.PropertyVetoException pve)
System.err.println("Property change vetod");
The Sys-out from the Report Viewer bean is "No reponse from server".
The sysout from my server (Tomcat 3.2.3) is:
2001-09-06 09:08:53 - Ctx( /Report1.rpt ): FileHandler: Ends with \/. D:\jakarta

Publish Crystal Reports to SAP NetWeaver Portal

We are trying to publish Crystal Reports to SAP NetWeaver Portal. So far we found that we always have to save to BusinessObjects Enterprise first, and then we found the ID from Crystal Reports in the InfoView. After that, we put that ID in our iView using PAR template. Here are our questions:
(1) After we save Crystal Reports to BW server, how can we run that report from BW without saving to BusinesObjects Enterprise?
(2) Can we directly publish Crystal Reports to SAP NetWeaver Portal without saving to BusinessObjects Enterprise first?
Thanks a lot for your answers!
Paul

Thanks for the answers. From your answer, I believe what you are trying to say is that we need to save Crystal Reports to BusinessObjects Enterprise no matter what. We need to save Crystal Reports to BOE first, and then we need to have BOE in order to run Crsytal Reports.
>> Yes
Then we can publish our Crystal Reports saved in BOE to iVew in SAP NetWeaver Portal. Wether we save Crytal Reports to BW is not necesary.
> correct. That is your choice but remember that saving to BW does come with benefits such as an integration into transports.
This also means that we cannot just create Crystal Reports, save it to BW, publish it to SAP NetWeaver Portal, and run it from SAP NetWeaver Portal w/o BOE. Please correct me if I am wrong
>> correct

Publishing Crystal Report in Portal

Hi All,
I have a requirement of publishing Crystal Report query in portal which should point to BI server and execute, but not to the Crystal Enterprise Server for authentication. Can anyone has an idea around this.
Please reply.
Thanks in advance.
Ansar.

Hi,
so I assume you want to use the SAP Authentication ?
If so you would have to configure the SAP Authentication on the backend first and you can then use the iView template as part of the SAP Integration Kit to show the report in the portal.
You can find the details in the Installation Guide for the SAP Integration Kit available on help.sap.com

Get error when trying to publish crystal report to infoview

Hi, Gurus,
I got an error while trying to publish a Crystal report.
The error message says: Fail to read data from report file C:\TEMP~crw{70BDE794-E283-4773-A259-BA810F3E1697}.rpt. Failed to read parameter object.
I'm using a dynamic cascading parameter. The report runs fine in development enviornment.
I'm using Crystal 2008 SP2 and XI3.1
Thank you.
Kiki

There are several SAP NOTES (KB articles) on this error, have you tried searching Knowledge base ?
Most likely it's due to the fact that you have a verson mismatch between CR 2008 and XI3.1.

Embedding WebI and Crystal reports on a web page

Hi,
I'm new to BO, so please bear with me. I've also posted this to the .NET-side, so sorry if you've seen this post before.
We have a project where we will need to embed WebI and Crystal reports on a web page, i.e. we want the people who access the web page to get the reports (mainly graphs) as embedded content on the web page without any controls and other clutter.
Is this possible and what's the correct way of doing this?
Thanks,
Carl

Hi,
Thanks for the help!
We still face the original problem, though. I.e. with openDocoument we get the report, controls, tab selections, scroll bars etc. What we actually would like is to get just the contents of a report.
Is there any way of doing it? We're not afraid of coding, we have good developers. Or do we need to schedule report creation to some format (e.g. PDF) and then load the PDF to the web page?
Basicaly it's more important to get this working for WebI reports as we can redo almost all reports from Crystal to WebI. Of course we are happy to find a resolution for both cases.
Br,

Reports Server/running reports on the web.

I am trying to configure my web server to run reports on the web. I have followed the instructions provided by Oracle, but some is not clear. When i try to run report on the browser, i get the following error:
CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:
Oracle documentaion say the following about the steps to configure the web server:
1-Start your Web server by entering the following:
2-Start your browser.
3-Create a listener.
4-Configure your Web server mapping and note the physical and virtual directories. For example:
I have done all the steps above except creating a listener. The documentation doesnt explain that step at all.
I have created a cgi-bin directory and made it excetable and copied the rwcgi60.exe from reports server machine to the web server machine. I also copied the TNSNAMES entry for the web server from the reports server machine to the web server machine.
Here is the command i use(just trying to make sure that web CGI is responding, but it doesnt work)
http://web_server/scm/cgi-bin/rwcgi60.exe
Other question: On the server machine, i have 3 oracle directories: ORA81, ISUITES, 806, which one should be the home directory for the reports to work on the web??
I am using oracle 8.1.7 with 9iAS release 1.
Thanks

Please note that our CGI servlet is only used as a migration point for

Displaying report in .pdf format while Running oracle reports over the web

I am running a report over the web via IE. I am suing .pdf

report comes out with a blank in acrobat reader if there are
just one or two records - i.e less thatn one pagefull. THe
reports displays output only when there ar more than one
pagefull of records.
Any explanation for this bezarre behavior and any suggestions?
I will very much appreciate your help.

in R12 I found 2 choice
1) when submitting requests (if available) you can set the output format by using the Options button (upon sompletion section):
layout --> format --> select format you need (RTF/HTML/EXCEL/PDF)
2) in the request form (view->request) selecr the report you want to reprint in the Tools menu select print/republish, in the html page that pop up select output format you want, number of copies =1 submit
