Publishing crystal reports to web

Can anyone give me an idea of how to publish the crystal reports to web. I know we need Crystal Reports Server for that. Apart from that what are the other steps.

Hello,
there are some solutions:
- Deploy CR Server and than the users could access the Reports via InfoView (Web Portal of CRS)
- Shedule the Report as 3rd Party format (pdf, xls, etc.) to a webserver like IIS or Tomcat so the users can view the report via a browser...but that would be very static
- shedule the report to a network share and deploy CR Viewer to the Client PCs. So the users could view the .rpt format.
Regards
-Seb.

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

We have a problem with printing crystal report over web using ActiveX Control. When clicking print button, it only shows a blank dialog web crystal viewer page without any error. The page just simply hangs. We installed the PrintControl DLL and enable all the security setting for ActiveX Control for IE. It still does not print. Does anyone know why?
Environment.
Bundle Crystal Report v10
Asp.net 2.0
IE 6.0 or higher.
Appreciate for your help.

When Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is enabled, using the ActiveX control to print reports from a Crystal 10 DHTML viewer results in the following error message:
"A communication error occurred, printing will be stopped."
How can this error message be resolved?
Resolution
This is a known issue with Crystal Reports 10 and Crystal Enterprise 10 viewers and has been tracked. The Track ID is ADAPT00282199.
This error occurs due to the receiving application performing a case-sensitive check for the HTTPS request header value "ON". When a sender application sends the value as "on" in lower case, the error occurs. The update below changes the receiving application to be case-insensitive.

Has anyone experienced the same error before?

Hello Donna,

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

Crystal report vs Webi Report

Hi Expert,
My client have WEBI and Crysal Report both installed in the system. They want to change all Bex reports to either in Crystal report or WEBI .
My question is what all we need to consider while suggesting a particular type of report. When we should choose WEBI over crystal report?.
Please answer me considering the fact that they are curently using BEX report in SAP BI environment.

Hi
Crystal is very flexble tool, if you want to use BW with crystal reports, you need to install SAP integration kit to get connected to your BeX queries and pull the data into report.
If you need more secure environment you can go for WEBI reports, these reports can be based off a semantic layer wheich is very secured.
Thanks,

Calender button doesn't work in web published crystal report

Post Author: hbadr_14
CA Forum: General
Dear all I designed a report that prompt the user for dates. when i run the report from crystal report the prompt window contain a calender button where i can select the date. The problem appears after i publish the report on the crystal Enterprise, when i open the report the calender button dosen't pop up the calender so that i cannot supply the required date by my report.

I'm having similar trouble: here is the web link I am attempting to use. The Column Campaign."Campaign Name" has a filter for IS PROMPTED. One trouble I'm having is that I need to use the Combined Analyses feature to achieve the report I need; but I added a filter to all three reports used in the combined analysis.

Deplay Crystal Report via web

Hi.
Is there any way to deploy report in intranet.
I have file Report.rpt and i want users to have access to it via www.
Is there any tutorial how to do it?
Best regards
Lukasz Bloch

Hi,
There are several ways to distribute or publish the report :
If you have BO Enterprise or Crystal Reports Server then you can publish this report and create a OpenDocument URL. This can be given to your users to view the report in Browser.
Or
If you want to give your report to users for just to understand the results, then try to download CR2008 offline viewer. This will help you to view .rpt files.
Or
If you are developing your own Web application using .NET or JAVA you can very well embed CR reports and it can be viewed through browser.
Or
If you have BO Enterprise, you can publish this report to your repository and all your BO users can access this report through infoview and view the report.
You need to choose the option to view the report.
Thanks,
Sastry

Export with crystal reports as web service

In order to create 3 tier architecture for security enhancments, I am using crystal feature to publish report as web service. As far displaying these reports on viewer is concerned, I have got that part working by setting the datasource to asmx and then using the viewer to set the parameters and logon information.
However currently I also have export button on the UI which basically used the ReportDocument and wrote the excel to Http stream. And this is the part where I am now struggling with crystal as web service as it does not expose ReportDocument. I have scanned all forums and have been googling for a while but reaching nowhere.
Please help if someone has already dealt with similar problem.
Thank you.

I don't think you will be able to do this from the button. Reason is that the web service only works with the viewer and there is are no exposed export API associated with the viewer. The only export APIs are based off of the report document object.

Duplicate Object Name Error When Publishing Crystal Reports from BW to BOE

Hi,
We recently upgraded our systems (all client and server) to SP2.7 in order to solve a problem with saving Crystal Reports to BW. Now we are experiencing a new error when trying to publish a Crystal Report from BW to BOE (either all in one step from Crystal Reports application or directly from within BW).
Upon trying to publish a Crystal Report from BW to BOE, we get the following error:
"An error occurred while saving and / or publishing. The return code 1 was returned from the server. Logon to Crystal Enterprise failed. Unable to commit the changes to Enterprise. Reason: Failed to commit objects to server : Duplicate object name in the same folder."
We have repeated this issue numerous time with different reports, users and logon credentials and have verified that there are NOT any duplicate object names.
Additionally, in some cases, the report ultimately publishes to BOE, but with the above error interruption along the way.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Josh

Ingo,
Apologies for the delayed response. We've spent a few days poking around with this issue, and had even opened a customer message for it (13641).
In the end, it seems that the problem was somehow associated with the "Prepare this report for translation." flag in the "Save to BW Options" dialog box of Crystal Reports. If we try to Save & Publish with the Translation flag selected, we get the duplicate entry error. If we Save & Publish without the Translation flag selected, everything is fine.
There are still some details we need to look into, but for the time being it looks like we don't have an issue anymore(assuming we ever did) as we're not concerned with Translation capabilities.
If we come across the problem again, I'll post again.
Thanks,
Josh

How to publish crystal report designed using SAP Add-on toolbar

we have installed the crystal report designer V10 and the SAP add-on on the desktop.
we have designed a formatted report in crystal report designer using an existing BW report that was created using Bex query designer. After this we saved the crystal report back in BW to a role.
We have not published the report to crystal enterprise server, since the connection to same is not in place.
We would like to know how to publish this report in Enterprise portal ?
Can we bypass publishing the report to crystal enterprise server and publish the report on browser or through EP ?

Printing Crystal report from web

I am using crystal report 8.5 and Coldfusion MX 6.1
I open my report in a blank page. Everything show up
properly.
However, in my report, I have 12 pages. When I print it it
only show up as 1-2 pages. I notice that on screen, when I click
next ( to go to the next page of the report ), the url show up as
whatever my path is and the word "report" + the page -1 + htm
eg. If I am on page 2 of the report, my url would be
\\localhost\mywebfolder\report1.htm
Anyone have the same problem? Any solution?
* I am thinking of taking off the grouping in the report, see
if that make any different!

Hiya,
It isn't clear how you are calling the report (cfreport,
location, etc.,).
With 8.5 professional and higher, there is report server; 8.5
enforces the five instance connection license that the 8.0 version
implied and the 7.0 version didn't have at all. This methodology
allows for using the Crystal web report engine which supports the
use of an ActiveX viewer or Java Viewer.
I have an annoyance where an application that has run for
more than five years using the ActiveX viewer used to run without
prompting for database credentials but now does.
Take a look here for some hints
http://www.vordesigns.com/Portal/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=154
I can send you the page cfm pages I use but it references a
table of report names, you will have to do a little of your own
debugging to get it to work in your enviroment.
There is also a topic post in March from me
http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=3&threadid=1137866 &forumid=1
... or is it one of my pseudonyms?
