I think you might be able to use formulas to achieve what you are looking for. I found this kbase <a href="http://technicalsupport.businessobjects.com/KanisaSupportSite/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=c2010059&sliceId=&dialogID=1988273&stateId=1 0 1986304" target="_blank">c2010059</a>, on the BOBJ support site that provides a series of steps to create formulas to achieve superscript text. The kbase uses dates as an example but you should be able to do the same for your needs. The similar should be possible for subscript text. Hopefully this helps you out! -MJ

Crystal Reports 2008 - Error 1904 - DLLs will not register

I have just tried to install Crystal Reports 2008 on a PC which is running on XP Professional 2002 (Service Pack 3) and none of the DDLs will register. I have administrator privileges on the local PC.
I could possibly try to register the DLLs manually but I don't understand why they won't register automatically.
I would really appreciate some assistance with this.
Kind regards, Leeanne

Install .NET Framework 1.1 and 2.0 and then any patches Windows has for them.
Install the C++ runtime distribution from Microsoft, search MS's site for it, they have multiple links for each OS.
Download the latest Microsoft installer, you can go to MS's web site to get it.
Check with your IT department to make sure they have not pushed out a "modified" administrator Profile to your PC. Open up regedit.exe and confirm you can change any key in Current User and Software and anything. Be sure to copy the original so you can right the value back and the usual warnings about modifying the registry.
Download CR 2008 SP1 full build: https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006555792009E/cr2008win_sp1.exe ( requires and un-install of existing CR 2008 if any are on your PC )
Before running CR 2008 Install SP 3: https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100007123572010E/cr2008_sp3.exe
You could also try Disabling DEP, right click on My Computer, Properties, Advanced tab and Data Execution Prevention and make sure it's set to windows Processes only. Requires a re-boot if changed.
Disable any and all anti-virus and local firewalls, copy everything local and disconnect your network cable so you don't get anything nasty and try again.
If none of the above works then try someone elses computer, your system may be beyond repairing and could require an FDISK and starting all over.
Thank you

Hi Neetu,
Do you wish that at all customer site all concern involved in implemtation do the same work ?
I believe ERP is meant for single entry system, and it should be true for implementation also, why to invest man hours for the same task ?
I expect it standard reports should be released by SAP, so that speed of implementation improve, we have more nos. of satisfied customers.
customised reports is all together different and it is understood that it is needed to be developed after study the exact requirement.

Samir Gandhi

Crystal Reports 9 over network: slow initialization

We have a VC++ application that uses Crystal Reports RDC (actually 8.5, and trying to change to 9.2). By design our application is installed on a file server and users execute it directly from the server, without copying or install any component in the local drive. We just register the minumum Crystal Reports DLLs needed to point directly to the location of this DLLs in the server. So we don't copy any Crystal Reports Runtime DLLs to c:\
At this time, with Crystal Reports 8.5, the minimum runtime DLLs on the server needed to run our application and print reports have a size of 8Mb, and the first time our application tries to open a report it hangs for about 5 seconds (with FileMon I see that Crystal Reports is loading its runtime DLLs). But now I'm trying to change it to use Crystal Reports 9 (due to unsolved CR8.5 limitations). With this version our minimum required runtime DLLs have a size of almost 12Mb, and the load time of this DLLs become almost 10 seconds (too big).
I did tests with Crystal Reports XI and it was even worse. If I copy and register the DLLs in the local drive it loads very fast, but we need to make it to work directly from the server without copying the files to c:\
Is there any way to reduce the loading time of this runtime DLLs without having to copy them to the local drive? Thanks

Well, I think the problem you had with CR XI is that you can not just copy the dlls. You have to use the merge modules and create a deployment project using a utility such as InstallShield, Wise, MS Visual Installer, etc.
As far as the issue at hand.
Here is a basic list of possible issues that may improve the performance:
Report Design Issues
u2022     Linked OLE object inserted into a report is not where the report expects it to be. If this is the case, the report will attempt to locate the object, potentially consuming large amounts of time.
u2022     The subreport option "Re-import when opening" is enabled (right click the subreport(s), choose format subreport, look at the subreport tab). While this is a great design time feature, it is a time consuming process and should be used judiciously.
u2022     Specific printer is set for the report and the printer does not exist. Try the "No printer" option (File | Page setup).
u2022     Also, see the Article u201CHow Printer Driver Options Affect a Reportu201D regarding printers and Crystal Reports;
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a09051e9-721e-2b10-11b6-f9c65c64ef29
u2022     The number of subreports the report contains and in which section the subreports are located will impact report performance. Minimize the number of subreports used, or avoid using subreports if possible. Subreports are reports within a report, and if there is a subreport in a detail section, the subreport will run as many times as there are records, leading to long report processing times. Incorrect use of subreports is often the biggest factor why a report takes a long time to process.
u2022     Use of "Page N of M", or "TotalPageCount" special fields. When the special field "Page N of M" or "TotalPageCount" is used on a report, it will have to generate each page of the report before it displays the first page. This will cause the report to take more time to display the first page of the report
u2022     Graphics, while a powerful feature of Crystal Reports, need to be used with care. When displaying a report using the Web Forms report viewer, for each chart or image on the report page, the report engine must create a temporary JPG file and the browser must make a separate request to the web server to retrieve it. The Web Forms viewer also periodically searches through the images folder for old images and deletes them. This disk access and creation of temporary files will reduce report performance.
u2022     Remove any unused object from the report. This includes database tables, formulas and parameters and running total formulas. Even if these objects are not used in a report, the report engine will attempt to evaluate the objects, thus affecting performance.
u2022     Suppress unnecessary report sections. Even if a report section is not used, the report engine will attempt to evaluate the section, thus affecting performance.
u2022     If summaries are used in the report, use conditional formulas instead of running totals when ever possible.
u2022     Whenever possible, limit records through Record selection Formula, not suppression.
u2022     Use SQL expressions to convert fields to be used in record selection instead of using formula functions. Since SQL Expression Fields are added to the SELECT clause of the SQL Query the SQL expressions are evaluated server side.
For example, if you need to concatenate 2 fields together, instead of using a formula, create a SQL Expression Field.
u2022     Using one command table or Stored Procedure or a Table View as the datasource can be faster if you returns only the desired data set.
u2022     Perform grouping on the database server. This applies if you only need to return the summary to your report but not the details. It will be faster as less data will be returned to the reports.
Report Options
u2022     u201CVerify on First Refreshu201D option (File | Report Options). This option forces the report to verify that no structural changes were made to the database. There may be instance when this is necessary, but once again, the option should be used only if really needed. Often, disabling this option will improve report performance significantly.
u2022     u201CVerify Stored Procedure on First Refreshu201D option (File | Report Options). Essentially the same function as above, however this option will only verify stored procedures.
If the above does not help, perhaps that is the best performance you will get over the network and going to a web based solution may be worth considering(?). Let's see if anyone else can provide any help.

Crystal Reports XI Developer Release 2

What is the upgrade method of going from Crystal Reports XI Developer to Crystal Reports XI Developer Release 2.
I've seen mention on other forums and help-desk websites that it is a free upgrade for a registered user of Crystal Reports XI Developer. However, I can't how this is done.

Hello,
There are a number of ways to get the physical download. Here's one that's pretty easy. Go to the [Downloads page |http://service.sap.com/sap/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm]for Crystal Reports and set the search criteria for service packs for Crystal Reports XI R2.
Software Product: Crystal Reports
Product Version: XI Release 2
Software Type: Service Pack
You'll see a number of downloads. Download one of the Full Build packages like "Crystal Reports XI Release 2 - Service Pack 4 Full Build".
After downloading CR XI R2 you should uninstall CR XI and then install CR XI R2. CR XI R2 is not really an upgrade to CR XI. It is it's own stand alone version.
You'll sometimes see issues in Crystal Reports if you don't fully remove CR XI by following manual cleaning steps. You may need to do the following from SAP Note 1218535 - How to manually uninstall Crystal Reports XI:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Symptom
Crystal Reports XI is installed on your computer. You need to manually uninstall Crystal Reports XI for one of the following reasons:
To verify that all Crystal Reports XI components have been completely removed prior to installing a later version of Crystal Reports.
To remove the remaining Crystal Reports XI components that have not been removed using the 'Add/Remove Programs' command (Start > Settings > Control Panel).
To remove the remaining Crystal Reports XI components that have not been removed using the Setup.exe file from Crystal Reports XI installation CD.
Resolution
Before getting started, uninstall Crystal Reports XI by launching the Setup.exe file from the installation CD or by using the 'Add/Remove Programs' command. If either of these methods fails to remove all Crystal Reports directories, files and registry keys, then continue with the resolution of this article.
WARNING: This resolution can be applied if Crystal Reports XI is the only software installed on the computer that uses the Business Objects directories, files and registry keys.
For example, Crystal Analysis, Crystal Enterprise and BusinessObjects Enterprise XI are applications that may share the same directories, files and registry keys. Removing these directories, files and registry keys may cause other software to function incorrectly.
1. To manually uninstall Crystal Reports XI, delete the following directories:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\3.0
C:\Program Files\Business Objects
NOTE: Do not remove the directory C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\3.0 if you have BusinessObjects Enterprise XI or Crystal Reports Server XI installed. These files are shared by both applications and removal of these files will cause Business ObjectsEnterprise XI and Crystal Reports Server XI to function incorrectly.
WARNING: The following resolution involves editing the registry. Using the Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall the Microsoft Windows operating system. Use the Registry Editor at your own risk.
HELP: For information on how to edit the registry key, view the 'Changing Keys And Values' online Help topic in the Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).
RECOMMENDATION: It is strongly recommended that you make a backup copy of the registry files (System.dat and User.dat on Win9x computers) before you edit the registry.
2. Delete the following registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.0\Crystal Reports\
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects\Suite 11.0\Crystal Reports
HKEY_USERS\S-#-#-##-...-####\Software\Business Objects\Suite 11.0\Crystal Reports
The number signs (#) represent a series of numbers that are different on each computer.
After making changes to the registry, restart the affected service or application as required.

Registration of Crystal Reports

Hello to All:
Newbie here, How does one go about registering copies of Crystal Reports. Where on the SAP site is the link.
Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.

Registration of individual products is no longer needed in the same sense as it was used in the older Business Objects Support realm.
You can call 800-877-2340 (customer service) and inquire about a registration number and they will explain the benefits of accessing SAP web pages.

How to register/configure a Data Provider with Crystal Report Designer

Hi,
Iu2019m in the process of developing an ADO .Net XML Data Provider which works with Data Sets. I want to use this custom Data Provider through Crystal Report Designer 2008 so that I can access it from the u201CStandard Report Creation Wizard\Available Data Sourcesu201D section. How can I do this? I read the following in the u201Ccreating custom adddins.docu201D documentation.
u201CCrystal Reports (CR) 2008 installs a new managed dll called DotNetExternalCommandAdapter.DLL and installs it into the Global Assembly Cache (GAC). CR 2008 uses this dll to search and load files with a csc prefix in CR 2008u2019s AddIns subdirectory in a similar way it looks for database drivers, export drivers and UFLs. To create an Add-In the developer needs to reference this dll and inherit two classes from it, ICommand and ICommandDLL.u201D
I have the following questions,
1) As it mentions above how can I make Crystal find my custom Data Provider when it searches for the database drivers?
2) Is there another class I can inherit from when creating my custom data provider? If so where can I find some documentation regarding this?
3) Can I register my custom data provider in to the GAC and will Crystal find it if so how can I register my custom Data Provider? Will GACUtil work for Crystal as well?
Thanks in Advance,
Regards,
Chanaka

Baron, thank you for providing that link.
Chanaka see if that article helps you out. It should - had I got to this thread earlier, I'd have sent that link also. Certainly DE place to start.

Crystal Report 2008 Installation Failed - Registering modules

HI Folks
I'm trying to install Crystal Report 2008 on XP Pro SP2. The installation stop on Registering Modules, even if I click Cancel,
it does not do anything it just hang there. I have to kill the process in Task Manager. If I restarted the installation,
it says that I have already an installtion process running. So I have to reboot and then restart the installation,
now it says that it will continue a previous uncompleted installation. But it hangs again at Registering Modules.
It does not even stop at the same file. I have done this process several time with always the same result.
Each time it stops on a different file but always during the Registering Modules process.

As well as that make sure you are a local PC administrator or belong to that group. Also check Microsoft's site to make sure you have the latest Microsoft Installer. I believe there is a test tool to check your PC.
Do you know what version of CR 2008 you have? There should be a ProductId.txt file to confirm the version. SP 3 should fully support DEP so if you don't have it download it from this [link|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009989492010E/cr2008_sp3_fullbuild.zip].
Then it should get past Microsoft's security. If it's your Anti-V as Stratos suggests then only option is to disconnect from the network and disable it, install and the reconnect.
The other common registration issue is due to missing dependencies or possibly updated dependencies that CR found but can't use. Some of our dependencies are specific versions.
Thank you
Don

Crystal Report and Log4net error 1.2.10

Hi at all,
I have problem on Crystal Report and log4net.
It happens when I deploy the Web applications on the server.
I'm using Visual studio 2013 update 2, and I'm using log4net 2.0.3 (1.2.13) and I'm using CRforVS2013_13_0_10, the last.
When I deploy my application on the target machine, where I have also installed the runtime 64 bit for Crystal Report, I found this error:

Exception StackTrace:
On my local Visual studio it works, works fine.
But when I'm deploying on Server, 2008 win 64 bit, I found this error.
I've tried everything, I've installed also the runtime 64 bit on the target/server machine.
The problem is that the log4net is not registered in the windows\assembly directory on the target server ? Do I have to use the Gac util to register the log4net dll assembly ?
Please help me, It one day that I'm facing this error, but I'm not able to solve.
Regards
Vittorio

Hi Vittorio
Please enter the search string 'log4net crystal net' into the search box in the top right corner. When the results come up, click on the Support Notes link. That will filter for the KBAs that you want to have a look at.

How do I deploy my Crystal Reports webapp???

Post Author: figue
CA Forum: .NET
Hi, i've developed a web application using Visual Studio .Net and using the Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2005. I've read almost all the "how-tos" that are available on the net to solve my situation, but i couldn't manage to deploy my application.
I have no physical access to the web server, and i cannot execute a .exe or a .msi installer (i cannot use the "merge modules" solution).The only solution i think may help me is copying the Crystal Reports dll's to my BIN folder and using those dll's instead of using the GAC references.Here's what i've done:- I copied all the dll's that I found on Program Files/Common Files/Business Objects/2.7/Managed into my app's BIN folder.- I deleted all the references to the Crystal Reports' assemblies from my solution's property pages. FIRST PROBLEM: The references were deleted, but when I closed the solution, and opened it again, all the references returned.. After trying again and again, they finally dissapeared.- I tryied to add the references to the dll's that were into my app's BIN folder, but when I browse the file, select it, and accept the dialog box, nothing happens. No reference is added into the References window.- I tryied to add the GAC references again, to return to the previous state, but it's the same, i select the reference from the GAC and when i accept the dialog box, nothing happens.- I thought that maybe my pc has some troubles with the installed versions of crystal reports (i hace 8.5, XI and CR for VS 2005 installed), so i created a Virtual Machine, Installed VS 2005 and created a new web application with one .aspx and one .rpt and tryied to change the GAC's references for the BIN's DLLs. The same thing happend.
Can somebody please help me? I'm gettin' really tired of trying and trying things and not gettin' in solved.
Regards from Argentina

Unfortunately, xcopy deployments of Crystal Reports .NET assemblies won't work, since they rely on some dll's via COM-Interop.
Those components have to be registered on the server - via merge modules install - and regretably, you're restricted from doing so.

Report and Field Explorer dont work in Crystal Reports 2008

Hi
I am using the following versions of Crystal Reports:
Crystal Reports 2008 (Service Pack 1)
CR Developer
Version 12.1.0.892
Product Type: Full
Target environment: .NET 3.5 windows forms and asp.net application
Since a couple of days, i can no longer access the field explorer nor the report exlorer. Anything else seems to be working fine. I first thought these windows were somewhere hidden behind another window but as much as i searched, i didnt succed in finding them :-(. Our product has a valid licence and is registered, by the way.
My question is now, what do i have to do to get my field/report explorer again. Maybe, installing the latest service pack had an influence, but i cannot tell for sure.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks in advance

Crystal Report Error - Mobile Sales - 4.0 SP 12

Some of the users are getting the following error message while trying to open the Crystal Reports from Mobile Sales.
"This program is used to host and to initialize the UF F has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
Can you please let me know where can I find any update about these issues?
Has anyone ever come across this type of error?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Pijush

Hi Pijush,
Can you ensure that the following Dlls in the machine are registered:
1. Register all the Dlls and ocx files available in
   <<Installation directory>>\Sap\Mobile\bin directory.
2. Register the dlls and ocx files available in
   <<Installation directory>>\Sap\Mobile\3rd_party directory.
3. Register the sfabol.dll and msa.dll. It will be available under
   <<Installation directory>>\Sap\Mobile (or in the sub-directories
   based on how settings are at your end.
   But before doing the same, please ensure that you unregister the other Dll first.
As you are aware, the starting application is UFContainer.exe. The same
requires the following Dlls/OCX to be registered:
1. sfabof.dll
2. scrrun.dll in C:\winnt\system32 directory
3. ErrComp.dll
4. UFCore.dll (based on the IE Version)
5. ACTBAR.OCX
6. MSCOMCT2.OCX
7. comdlg32.ocx
8. SSLSTBAR.ocx
9. MSCOMCTL.ocx
Can you please ensure that the above are indeed registered in your case
Some of the above exists in C:\winnt\system32 directory.
If the problem remains it may be because of the IE version you use. Do you use IE7? iIf so did you face the same problems with IE 6 also?

Gervase
