Regarding Crystal Reports 2008

Post Author: Swathi Godavarthy
CA Forum: Data Integration
Hi,
Right now we are using crystal reports X1 release2 with RDC. We are not using crystal rpeorts integration with .Net rather we are using activex viewer. We are integrating crystal reports with ASP (Active Server Pages). We have decided to upgrade the version from releaseX1 to crystal rpeorts 2008. Does 2008 support RDC? Please if anyone knows let me know.

Hi,
Here's what you need to do:
1) Create an array variable to accumulate the object 'C' when object 'D' = "T". The formula would be:
WhilePrintingRecords;
stringvar array C;
numbervar i;
if ({table2.D} = "T" and Not({table2.D} in C)) then
    redim preserve C<i>;
    C<i> := {table.C};
    i := i+1;
Place the above formula on the Details Section.
2) Create a new Report Footer b section. In the Report Footer a section, use this formula:
whileprintingrecords;
stringvar array C;
Join(C,",");
3) Insert a Subreport in the Report Footer b section with the same universe as the datasource
4) Right-click the Subreport and select 'Change Subreport Links' > Move the above formula in the 'Fields to link to' area and uncheck 'Select data in Subreport based on field'
5) In the Subreport create this new formula:
if {table1.B} in {?Pm-@name} then {table1.B} else "Others" //{?Pm-@name} is the name of the parameter that we linked from Main Report to Subreport
6) Create a group on the above formula
7) Insert a summary on the 'A' field. Go to Insert > Summary > Choose 'A' as the field to summarize, select Count as the operation and choose the summary location to be 'Group 1'.
This will show the Count of field A when table1.B in (select C from table2 where D = 'T').
You can then suppress all the other sections of the Main Report except the section that holds the Subreport.
The report will also show a group called "Others" that does not meet the condition. You can write a Group Selection formula to suppress this group:
Not(@formula_name = "Others")
Let me know how this goes!

Crystal Report 2008 SP3 and BO XI 3.1 conflict

Hi every body,
We have a BOE system:
BO XI 3.1
Oracle db 10g
All running successful and can create some types of WebI report.
But we also want reports with Crystal Report.
1> So we install Crystal Report 2008 SP3 (without knowing the conflict error between BO XI 3.1 and Crystal Report 2008 SP3 and overwrite some .dll file). After installing, we can not create WebI report any more. And a error message box display: "DBDriver failed to load: C:\Program File\Business Objects\BusinessObjects ENterprise12.0\win32_x86\dataAccess\connectionServer\dbd_oci.dll ".
2> We uninstall Crystal Report SP3. But this is not the solution. Still error because of missing .dll files.
3> We open BO XI 3.1 setup and repair BO XI 3.1. Even we uninstall BO XI 3.1, delete all of its components and delete in regedit key. We install BO XI 3.1 again. Now we have full .dll file, not missing them any more. But when we open universe and click on Table browser, cannot fetching any tables.
We set rights for Oracle DB user again. But still error: cannot fetching.
4> We searched the solution for this problem on the internet. But not worked, no answer.
Can somebody help me bring back the BOE system state again ? pls :"<
T______T

Hi Paul,
I hope I read your question right!
Yes, It is possible to run XIR2 and 3.1 on the same server although it's not recommended by BO. You will need to make sure they are both pointing to different CMS databases and different FRS repositories, like you already mentioned you will need to specify different ports for the CMS db and Tomcat.
Why not uninstall Business Objects XI R2 in your BO development environment or a spare server (if you have one), and do a clean install of XI 3.1 SP3.
Tip: If you were already having performance issues with your XI R2 environment, I would seriously consider upgrading the hardware. XI 3.1 needs a bit more RAM and CPU than XI R2

Not able to get the tables in crystal report 2008

Hi,
I am using crystal report 2008 and trying to connect MS SQL using OLE DB (ADO) connection. After giving all DB credentials data base tables are not appearing in the connection. how to get the tables for selection in crystal report 2008.
Regards,
Sree

In the CR Designer, select the connection and press the right mouse button. Select Options in the context menu and check if there is an entry in the Table name fiel. Maybe you have a placeholder there that does not match the names of the tables in the database. Just remove it, close the window by pressing OK and refresh the connection browser (press F5). Unfold the connection again and check if you can see the tables now.

Dynamic Sorting on Multiple filed in Crystal report 2008

Hi
I am using Crystal report 2008 sp3 full build with hotfix 3.3 along with ASP.NET 2.0
I have implimented the multi filed sorting using the record sort export and setting the sort order in the report designer.
Now my requirement is such that i would like to have dynamic sorting on multiple fileds while report is displayed in the UI.
Means suppose i have a report with Customer region,name,city,rating,status etc.
Now by using the sort control i would like to have the functionality in such a way that if user
a) first sorts on the region then the records should be first sorted by region
b) then sorts on the city then the records should be sorted first by region then by city
c) now sorts on the rating then the records should be sorted first by region ,second by city and then by rating
Now other user may do
a) first sorts on the rating then the records should be first sorted by rating
b) then sorts on the status then the records should be sorted first by rating then by status
c) now user sorts on the region then the records should be sorted first by rating,second by status and then by region
and so on the sorting criteria changes from user to user through the UI.
Is there any way to achieve the dynamic kind of sorting with Crytsal report 2008 where we can set the order of the fileds at sorting in UI dynamically .The sorting order of the fields are not known at the time of design of the report and its completely depends on the user's need.
Please let me know if you require any information on the same.

smitha

Hello,
   Good Day!
   Thanks for your answer.
   Could you please explain me in detail how to achieve this functionality?
   Do i need to create a static parameter?
   I get my data set through the command option in crystal report.So i think i need to go by formula in the report.
   i am just putting down the steps to follow.Please correct me if i am wrong.
step1 :Create s static parameter with the name SORT.
step2: create the formula as you have mentioned like
    (IF {?Sort}='Vendor Number' THEN {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.Vendor_Key}& " "& {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.ap_remt_key}
    & " " & {@date}
   else
    IF {?Sort}='Invoice Number' THEN {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.ap_vchr_invno}& " " & {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.Vendor_Key}&
    " " &{@date}
   else
   IF {?Sort}='Invoice Amount' THEN {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.ap_vchr_amtc}& " " & {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.Vendor_Key}&
     " " &{@date})
    I could not understand what this formula is really doing .
    Could you please tell me what the following names indicates? :
              Pr_Voucher_Status :- Table/Command name ??
              Vendor Number,Invoice Number etc.. :- ??
             Vendor_Key,ap_vchr_invno,ap_vchr_amtc .. :- Filed names ??
             use of 1.{} :- ??
step3: place the below formula in the page header to display the sort order
    (if {?SORT}='Vendor Number' then "Vendor Number, Remit To, Invoice Date"
          else if {?SORT}='Invoice Number' then "Invoice Number, Vendor Number, Invoice Date"
          else if {?SORT}='Invoice Amount' then "Invoice Amount, Vendor Number, Invoice Date") .
Note:-My report does not have grouping.Do i need to have grouping?
in this case how the sort control will work ?
As i have mentioned in the first post the order of sorting is completely depends on the user's perspective .
The report is used by the whole organization ..
i mean the people with different roles like Manger,Team leads,modul leads,developers ,testers etc..
the usage of report varies according to the roles so the sort order also.

smitha.

VS2008/VS2005 and Crystal Reports 2008 Developer

Hi,
1.) I am using VS2008 and Crystal Reports 2008 Developer. Are there any issues I need to consider when developing using both of the above? (or with VS2005)
2.) The confusion for me is in regards to the SDK. From what I understand from articles etc is that using CR 2008 dev we can use the .NET SDK or RAS SDK for development purposes?
3.) So downloaded the sample code for RAS .NET from [here|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/businessobjects-samples?rid=/webcontent/uuid/80774579-b086-2b10-db91-ed58c4dda375] and tried "DatabaseLogon_CS" example, as the option. It automatically opened in VS2005 (no problem) however it would not run.
I would get an error :
Failed to connect to server "localhost".
Error returned from Windows Sockets API : 0.
and line causing this is >>> rcd.Open(ref path, 0);
Code below:
        string sampleReportPath = @"C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\Samples\en\Reports\Demonstration\World Sales Report.rpt";
        object path = (object)sampleReportPath;
        // Create an instance of the ReportClientDocument.
        ReportClientDocument rcd = new ReportClientDocumentClass();
        // Set the location of the RAS server.
        rcd.ReportAppServer = "localhost";
        // Use the Open() method of the ReportClientDocument to open the report.
        rcd.Open(ref path, 0);
I have been able to open the RPT file by itself. So it does 'see' the database.
Reason why it would not run?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

If you're using the sample code from our website, make sure you have uncommented the InprocRAS option in the ConfigureCrystalReports method (see below). From your error description it seems like you're using the unmanaged RAS option, which requires a RAS server.
private void ConfigureCrystalReports()
        /* The following methods implement the same sample functionality in three different RAS
         * scenarios. Uncomment the method you would like to use.
         * - inprocRAS() logs onto a databse using RAS and SQL authentication.
         * - managedRAS() logs onto a database using RAS and SQL authentication from a managed RAS server.
         * - unmanagedRAS () logs onto a database using RAS and SQL authentication from an unmanaged RAS server.
         * Undocument the call to the method which applies to your appropriate RAS settings.
        DatabaseLogon_inprocRAS();
        //DatabaseLogon_managedRAS();
        //DatabaseLogon_unmanagedRAS();

Some reports do not work after upgraded to Crystal Report 2008

Hi All,
After upgraed from Crystal Report XI to Crystal Report 2008, some reports work fine. others not. All of the not-working reports have the same problem: Database connection failed.
And I can even not be able to create a brand new report. The problem looks like following:
    1. Created a new ASP.NET solution in Visual Studio 2008. The page file is default.aspx
    2. Created an empty Crystal Report file: CrystalReportTEST.rpt
    3. Asign CrystalReportTEST.rpt to default.aspx
    4. Run default.aspx. It works fine
    5. Just connect to database without place any field to the report
    6. Run default.aspx again. It does not work. It shows blank screen with the message "Database logon failed." on the top-left corner.

Print layout different with crystal report 2008 runtime

Hi,
I have reports which I print on a pre printed stationary. With Crystal report 11.5 run time it works fine.
Now I am using Crystal Report 2008 run time and with this I found that layout on the print is different than the actual layout in the design.
The print with CR 2008 run time is not exactly matching with the pre printed stationary. Whereas it is working fine with the 11.5 run time.
Can anyone please help?

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-Vista-ERROR-crw32.exe Entry Point Not Found in dll

Hi Experts,
I just installed the Crystal Reports 2008 (with SP0) on my Vista (Home) machine. When I try to start the CR 2008, I am getting the below error message:
Error Title: crw32.exe - Entry Point Not Found
Error Message: The procedure entry point ?PrintLegend@CMapXLegend@CSLib300@@QAEXJJJJJ@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library cslibu-3-0.dll
Here are the things I tried to resolve the above problem:
1) Uninstall and Reinstall the CR 2008. - No change.
2) I configured the DEP to accept Crystal Reports (Performance - Advanced - DEP allow).
None of these seem fix the problem.
Can you please help me kick start the Crystal Reports 2008?
Thanks,
Arun

Please try with this:
Run a command prompt as administrator. From the start menu, select "All Programs", then "Accessories" and right-click on the "Command Prompt" shortcut and choose "Run As Administrator". From here you can use the following command to disable Data Execution Prevention (DEP) with the following command:
bcdedit.exe /set nx AlwaysOff
Keeping your command prompt open, run your setup or other process being stopped by DEP. Then, to turn it back on again, do the same and run the following:
bcdedit.exe /set nx AlwaysOn

Invalid export DLL or export format" with Crystal Reports 2008 to Excel xls

We are experiencing the same issue as reported in the sticky thread. I answered in that thread, but thought that I woudl open a new thread to keep track of this issue. I can give you the responses to your questions you have requested in that thread:
Server Operating System - MS Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition SP2
Version of the .NET Framework - MS .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
How did you deploy? - Installed CR 2008 SP1 runtime with msi package
If you deployed with CRRuntime_12_0_mlb.msi - what was the date of the file and its size? CRRuntime_12_1_mlb.msi dated Sept. 16, 2008 12:55:00 PM, size: 56,717,824 bytes
What is the file version of crpe32.dll on your server? You'll find this in the C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 directory - File was created 9/13/08 11:21AM, 9451KB File Version: 12.1.0.882
How many libpng10.dll files are on your system? List all instances. - 1 instance is on the system located in C;\Program Files\Business Objects\Business Objects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 directory. It is dated 9/13/08 8:52:26AM 132KB version 1.0.30.1
Any additional comments - We have tried to export to PDF and this works successfully. However, we can not export to xls or rft formats.
CRXF_XLS.dll is 905KB 9/13/08 9:38AM Version 12.1.0.882
CRXF_RTF.dll is 509KB 9/13/08 9:35AM Version 12.1.0.882
We also have the CR XIR2 server runtime installed side by side on the server as we migrate from CR 2008 to CR XIR2 SP4 ( where this function does work currently).
Please let me know if you need anything additional.

Posted: Sep 27, 2008 12:36 AM       E-mail this message      Reply
I've included this sticky because we are seeing many posts in this forum regarding the error Invalid export DLL or export format when exporting to Excel and RTF in .NET applications using the Crystal Reports 2008 .NET SDK.
Issue
Exporting a Crystal Report to Excel or RTF format
.NET application using the Crystal Reports 2008 runtime (version 12.0)
error Invalid export DLL or export format
We've been doing some testing in-house and haven't reproduced this behavior. In order to figure this issue out we will need your help. If you are getting this error please reply to this post with the following information:
Server Operating System
Version of the .NET Framework
How did you deploy?
If you deployed with CRRuntime_12_0_mlb.msi - what was the date of the file and its size?
What is the file version of crpe32.dll on your server? You'll find this in the C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 directory
How many libpng10.dll files are on your system? List all instances.
Any additional comments
What We Know
The error invalid export DLL or export format may occur when exporting to Excel and RTF formats in .NET applications utilizing the Crystal Reports 2008 runtime (v 12.0)
Other export formats like Adobe PDF, Crystal Reports, CSV all export with no error
Some customers have resolved this by adding C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 to their environment path variables
This may have something to do with the file libpng10.dll. Both crxf_xls.dll and crxf_rtf.dll are dependent on it.
Thanks in advance for your co-operation. We hope to figure out what is causing this issue soon.

Hi,
I am also having the same problem, except that I am not using Crystal Report 2008 runtime but the actual Crystal Report 2008 installation on Windows XP SP2 with VS Studio 2005 (VC++). MS .NET Framework 2.0.
Cyrstal Report XIR2 was installed on the same machine but uninstalled before installing Crystal Report 2008.
So only one instance of libpng10.dll and found in C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86
Crpe32.dll        3/1/2008 version 12.0.0.683
Crxf_xls.dll       3/1/2008 version 12.0.0.683
Crxf_rtf.dll         3/1/2008 version 12.0.0.683
crdb_oracle.dll 3/1/2008 version 12.0.0.683
libpng10.dll       3/1/2008 version 1.0.30.0             122880 bytes
There is no problem for exporting to pdf, html, word, csv, Crystal Report. If I create a testing report without any data from database, the testing report can then be exported also to rtf and xls.
Oracle 11.1.0.6 is the DB for the reports.
Adding C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 to the path did not resolve my problem.
Any idea to fix this issue?
Thanks

Sample Code:
Report = new CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument();
Report.Load(Server.MapPath(strReportPath));
Report.SetDataSource(dsReport);
Creportviewer.ReportSource = Report;
For exporting the report to PDF
string Filename = Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.InternetCache).ToString(), Guid.NewGuid().ToString() + ".pdf");
Report.ExportToDisk(ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, Filename);
Clean Up Code: (Page_UnLoad event)
if (Report != null)
     Report.Close();
     Report.Dispose();
Creportviewer.ReportSource = null;
Creportviewer.Dispose();
dsReport = null;
GC.Collect();
GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers();
Can someone help me resolve the issue.

The .rpt file size is 14MB with the Data Save option enabled, 12MB without Data Save. Presumably the 12MB file size is because of the 24bit PNG we have as our background.
The Designer executes the report in less than a second and we can scroll through all pages and see the image fields perfectly.
When we Export to PDF, the Designer takes a long time, eventually gets to the 77%, the 7th record and returns "Export report failed" followed by "Memory full". If we export only page 1 of the 3 pages, it also returns a Memory full error. However, when the same report is run with only 1 page, that page exports to PDF but with a ridiculously large size and export time.
The machine has 2GB of physical memory with an 8GB pagefile with Windows 2003 (latest everything). The process runs up to about 1GB before reporting the memory full error.
We've also tried a variety of other suggestions posted in the other thread with no success.
We're happy to provide the RPT file to the Report Team to diagnose the problem. Ultimately, we need to be able to produce a 15 page report with approximately 45 images.
Our preferred scenario is fixing problem 2. The CR Designer seems quite capable of rendering our report and printing it to our third party PDF printer in a timely manner with small size. However, the API reports memory full.
The API resides in a dedicated reporting web service with NO other code except for loading the report, setting parameters and printing. When executing, it uses up to about 1.1GB before reporting the error.
Are there any other suggestions for fixing what we have? Are there known problems with large images in reports? Do we need to lodge a formal support request?

Crystal Reports 2008 Redistribution on 64 Bit Server

I have a small application that uses Crystal Reports 2008 in not-integrated mode. Meaning that the .rpt files are seperate from the web application and the web application has to know the absolute path to the .rpt files before it can run them. My question is how do I deploy Crystal Reports 12 to a windows server 2003 x64 server? I have installed the redist.msi and the reports won't work I keep getting the following error:
Server Error in '/imacs' Application.
An error has occurred while attempting to load the Crystal Reports runtime. Either the Crystal Reports registry key permissions are insufficient, or the Crystal Reports runtime is not installed correctly. Please install the appropriate Crystal Reports redistributable (CRRedist*.msi) containing the correct version of the Crystal Reports runtime (x86, x64, or Itanium) required. Please go to http://www.businessobjects.com/support for more information.

My only guess is that there is some configuration I am not doing on the server. Can someone help me?

I think the frustration is coming more from the combination of lack of support for x64 (quite surprising for such an established product) combined with a site that's very difficult to navigate and use (the BusinessObjects site).
We ourselves have also just invested a great deal of time in building some Crystal Reports for a pilot system for a large US Insurance Company and cannot choose to avoid a 64-bit target server. We deploy at the end of next week and though we can compile deliberately for 32 bit as outlined in your post, this causes all sorts of other issues with other assemblies we are using that are not binary compiled for a specific platform and that we cannot ourselves recompile.
To be concise, your posted solution is not really a solution unless a number of other assumptions are true that we all know in practical terms to be unrealistic for anything but the simplest of apps.
For us, pulling Crystal at this point is embarassing for the customer (they specifically requested that we use it) and for Business Objects, and creates a deadline crunch in our project plan as we convert to Telerik or some other x64 solution.
We will certainly follow up with phone support to see if there are other choices (doubtful), but given that you offer a trial version of Crystal 2008 I think it's remiss that there are no clear guidelines in a publicly-reachable forum that discuss in detail how to deploy completely to x64 including ensuring that other related issues to using a 32-bit compilation on x64 are mentioned/covered. I certainly can see that even an advanced developer would continue to hold out hope that there is some configuration option combination that will work.
Finally, can you provide any guidance on when Crystal Reports will catch up to Windows 2000, 2003 and 2008 and provide a 64-bit runtime?
