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

Report works in Crystal Reports, but not when scheduled in Crystal Server

Hi,
I have a pretty simple report designed in Crystal Reports 2008. Basically it shows a list of call notes (memo field) from customer activities in our CRM system. The report works fine in Crystal reports, but when run or scheduled in Crystal Server 2008 the output is always blank. Furthermore, the page format etc. is "lost" in crystal server, so that the output is PDF of a quadratic blank sheet (not my standard A4 format)... Exporting to other formats - excel, Word etc. all gives the same result.
I have tried to strip out various formulas, formatting etc from the report, but nothing helps. Which leads me to thinking that the real problem is that the report contains a memo field? Anyone else had this problem?

Hi Claus,
I've had issues between what Crystal does and what the Report Server does. To resolve this, we found out Crystal Reports 2008 latest service pack has some things that will fix Server 2008 and they aren't in the latest Server update.
We updated Crystal Reports 2008 on our machines. Installed the latest update for Crystal Server and then installed Crystal 2008 on the Report Server and installed the Crystal Reports 2008 update. A lot of our compatibility issues went away after that.
Good luck,
Brian

Some programs and video files dont work.

Some programs and video files dont work, get a crash report everytime I close, even after an uninstall everything and re install.
So I try playing some videos and it gives me an error, which I can watch on Chrome. Soundcloud doesnt seem to work, again works on chrome, and before I could watch WebM's but now it says not supported MME. Also everytime I close I get a crash reporter. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but nothing seems to work. I just happened recently. Also cant play soundcloud. Tried everything, feeling like going to chrome where things work and support is actual support

Protected mode works on some systems and not others. Since two of your four crash reports were related to Flash, I thought it was worth a try, but it's up to you whether you want to try it.
I'm not sure whether the issue with WebM video is a setting issue or a program files issue or a system issue.
'''Create a new Firefox profile'''
A new profile will have your system-installed plugins (e.g., Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions, or other customizations. It also should have completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder.
Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
firefox.exe -P
Don't delete anything here. Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
Click the Create Profile button, choose a name like TESTING, and skip the option to change the folder location. Then start Firefox in the new profile you created.
Any better results with WebM video or shutdown?
When returning to the Profile Manager, you might be tempted to use the Delete Profile button. But... it's a bit too easy to accidentally delete your "real" profile, so I recommend resisting the temptation. If you do want to clean up later, I suggest making a backup of all your profiles first in case something were to go wrong.
'''Clean Reinstall'''
A regular reinstall may leave some stray files in your programs folder. This method is a bit cleaner.
(1) If needed, download a fresh installer for Firefox 30 from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ to a convenient location. (Scroll down to your preferred language.)
(2) Exit out of Firefox.
(3) Rename the folder
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
to
C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
(4) Run the installer you downloaded in #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.
Does Firefox behave more normally?
Note: Some plugins may exist only in that OldFirefox folder. If something essential is missing, look in these folders:
* C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox\Plugins
* C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox\browser\plugins

Can JDeveloper work with Crystal Report?

I try to open Crystal Report with Jdeveloper, but I could not. Do anyone know if JDeveloper worked with Crystal Report. If anyone knows how, please show me. Thank you in advance.

For example, I have a report name "report1.rpt" which was saved under "C:\oracle\Jdev9052\jdev\mywork\HR\HR\public_html". Beside that I also have all the required jar files and folder crystalreportviewer added to my project. But everytime I run it, I received "The page cannot be displayed". Please help me to point out the problem. Thanks.

Firefox and internet explorer doesnt work with mac os 10.4.7

i can't seem to get firefox and Internet explorer to work on my g4 da mac with os 10.4.7. any suggestions...

Did they ever work for you?
Did you recently install some new software or make a hardware change to your machine?
The first rule of thumb with misbehaving applications is to erase the Application's preferences and then try it again, but that might be somewhat dangerous considering that you could accidentally erase all of your bookmarks/favorites in the process.
I'm running Mac OS 10.4.7 and I can get FireFox 1.07, 1.5, and 2.0, plus IE 5.2.3 to run, in addition to other browsers like Safari 2, OmniWeb 5.5, Netscape 7.2, and Opera 8.5 and 9.

Sound and brightness buttons dont work anymore

my sound and brightness buttons dont work any more unless I hold down the function button. This happened after I downloaded the new update I think. Is there any key combination that I could have hit that made this happen?

Go to System Preferences->KeyBoard & Mouse->KeyBoard and make sure "Use the F1-F12 keys to control software featues" is off. It probably got turned on somehow by the update.

Has any body work with Crystal Report XI and JDeveloper 10.1.3 ?

Hi All,
We want to use Crystal Report XI as our reporting tools and integrate it with our jsp/jspx application developed with JDeveloper 10.1.3.
Has any body succesfully done this kind of integration ?
Could you please share it with me ?
Thank you for your info,
xtanto

Hi friends,
I use Crystal Reoprt XI (release 1) with JDev 10.1.3, never try Crystal 10 with JDev.
Here is what I do :
1. Install CR XI on the same machine with JDev 10.1.3.
2. Modify CRConfig.XML on folder : C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\3.0\java on three places :
<JavaDir>D:\JDev1013\jdk\bin</JavaDir>
<Classpath>D:\JDev1013\jdbc\lib\ocrs12.jar;D:\JDev1013\jdbc\lib\ojdbc14.jar;D:\JDev1013\jdbc\lib\ojdbc14dms.jar;D:\JDev1013\jdbc\lib\orai18n.jar; .... [original classpath]
<JDBCURL>jdbc:oracle:thin:@oracle.sas.co.id:1521:ORCL</JDBCURL>
<JDBCClassName>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</JDBCClassName>
<JDBCUserName>myuserid</JDBCUserName>     <JNDIURL></JNDIURL>
3. Create the report using Crystal XI, USE JDBC CONNECTION, and it takes about 12-20 minutes to connect, don'y know why :)
( now the integration part )
4. Create a project for the report in our apps workspace (e.d : ViewController)
5. Copy these jar files below to D:\..\ViewController\public_html\WEB-INF\lib
(I got the files from Crystal Installation)

6. Right click the project, project properties, Libraries, Add Jar / Directories,
Add all the jar files from previous step.
7. Copy CRConfig.XML to folder D:\..\ViewController (project folder)
( this CRConfig.XML is the one that I have not modified, the original one. )
Please check, you must have this on the file :
<reportlocation>.</reportlocation>
8. Then create a Folder e.g : reports under WEB-INF :
D:\..\ViewController\public_html\WEB-INF\reports, then copy all reports created on step 3 on to this folder.
9. create a jsp to call the report, here is sample of my JSP :

Database connection not working in Crystal Reports for Eclipse 2.0

Hello All,
We have several hunderd reports that were created in CR 8.5. We are moving to a new Java environemnt and we are also considering using BIRT.However to save development time and effort we are considering using the CR for Eclipse 2.0. For a proof of concept, we loaded several of our 8.5 reports into Crystal reports XI, saved them, and then loaded them into our CR for eclipse design environment.
These reports were built from the values returned from a store procedure.. When we try to execute the reports from within Eclipse, we get Error finding JNDI name (xxxx). We have created the appropriate datasource (to Sybase 12.5.4), and the schema is viewable in the db explorer. However when we associate the connection to this datasource, the connection no longer appears in the field explorer and no data is returned upon previewing the report.
The original reports used ODBC to access the database. Is there anyway to easily convert these reports to using the Sybase JDBC datasource? Also in the DB explorer, the SPs are only showing the SP parameters,not the return values, so we are unable to easily drag the return fields onto the report to reset the links.
Thanks in advance
Edited by: Michael Knight on Oct 7, 2009 1:46 PM

Michael,
We had a similar situation but from my reseach the output from the stored procs cannot be viewed in the report designer in Eclipse. So we had to design the reports using the Crystal Reports Devloper application (the stand-alone version, not the Eclipse editor). The reports were designed w/an ODBC datasource. In order to get that working we had to create a JNDI JDBC datasource connection w/the exact same name as the ODBC datasource and that works. For example, the ODBC datasource was named OP01DSDB01.WORLD so we just created a JNDI datasource w/that exact same name (no jdbc/OP01DSDB01.WORLD just OP01DSDB01.WORLD). I'm not sure if there is a workaround for any of this but this was the easiest way to get them working.
I know this isn't the ideal situation, but that was the easiest way to get things working.

Mandatory Prompt not working in crystal report

Hi,
I do know that there is a option to make the prompt mandatory in the prompt selection window by making "Optional Prompt:False" in crystal 2011.If this is the case then report should not run when values are not entered and OK button is clicked in the prompt screen.But sill the reports runs but gives no data.
The report should not run when prompt is not entered.Is there a way to achieve this?

Hi Sahana,
If the mandatory prompt is a string paramater it will run without entering a value.
You have to use the Edit Mask option.
In your case you can use A as an Edit Mask character.
1. On the View menu, click Field Explorer.
2. Select Parameter Fields
An edit mask can be any of a set of masking characters used to restrict the values you can enter
as parameter values (the edit mask also limits the values you can enter as default prompting values).
You can enter any of the following masking characters, or any combination of them:
• "A" (allows an alphanumeric character and requires the entry of a character in the parameter
value).
• "a" (allows an alphanumeric character and does not require the entry of a character in the
parameter value).
• "0" (allows a digit [0 to 9] and requires the entry of a character in the parameter value).
• "9" (allows a digit or a space, and does not require the entry of a character in the parameter
value).
• "#" (allows a digit, space, or plus/minus sign, and does not require the entry of a character in the
parameter value).
• "L" (allows a letter [A to Z], and requires the entry of a character in the parameter value).
• "?" (allows a letter, and does not require the entry of a character in the parameter value).
484 2012-03-14
Parameter Fields and Prompts
• "&" (allows any character or space, and requires the entry of a character in the parameter value).
• "C" (allows any character or space, and does not require the entry of a character in the parameter
value).

Can we use BLOB fields (that store images) in Crystal Report ?

I'm developing with ASP.NET, VS.NET 2003.
Using Crystal Report for VS.NET
DataBase: Oracle 10g
I store a BLOB field in a table. This field store images, like jpg files.
The Stored Procedure that I use to fill the report is:
OPEN MyCursor FOR
SELECT MyId , MyImg
FROM MyTable
MyImg is BLOB field
However, when I try to use the stored procedure in Crystal Report at design mode, any field can be displayed and then drag and drop to the report, but MyImg is not possible.
There is an error message:
Details: ADO Error Code: 0x80004005
Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle
Description: Data type is not supported
I'm afraid that is not so easy for me to change DB connector drivers.
My question is:
- Is it possible to use BLOB fields in Cyrstal Reports?
- Or should I convert them previously to something, so they can be displayed in Crystal Report at desing mode ?
- If I should change DB connector drivers, which one should I use and from where should I download it and then install it in my Web Server?
Thank you very much!

Hi,
I dont know much at all about CR, but I do know Microsoft's OLEDB Provider for Oracle doesnt support Blob datatype.. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q244661/
Oracle's OLEDB provider does though, you can get it as part of the ODAC download on OTN.
Hope that helps,
Greg
