Report deployment

Hi,
Need a bit of advice here.
Environment:
Dev: Win XP SP3 32 bit, CR2008 SP4, VS2008, .net framework 3.5
Test: Win 2003 Server SP2 32 bit, CR runtime 12.4, .net framework 3.5
I'm experiencing problem deploying a set of reports in .net dll. Needless to say, everything working perfectly on my dev machine and another XP workstation with runtime 12.4 installed. However when I'm trying to deploy on Windows 2003 Server, I get Null Reference Exception trying to export report as PDF. I've checked on this further and found out that "Database logon failed" inner exception is the cause. I've tried reverting to fix pack 3.6 but the problem remains. Any advice on what can be wrong and how to proceed from here.
Thank you in advance,
Mike

Hello Mike:
You've got at least two instances where this works. So it's not the code, it's not the Service Pack. Check the DB client. My bet is that you will find the client is older or unpatched. You may want to use the [Modules|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006252802008E/modules.zip] to check on the file differences between a computer that works and one that does not.

Notification: "The report deployment process in in progress"

Hi All,
We're implementing Service manager and we have an issue with the reporting management packs.
Upon opening the Service manager console we're getting the error:
"The report deployment process in in progress. To determine when management pack deployment is complete, see the procedure in the service manager deployment guide. You can view reports after management packs have been deployed."
I've consulted the guide and the MPsyncjobs tasks runs and completes in under 1 minute, the Get-SCDWJob command returns the following:
BatchId Name Status CategoryName StartTime
6490 MPSyncJob Not Started Synchronization
6482 DWMaintenance Not Started Maintenance
6488 Load.Common Not Started Load
6484 Load.OMDWDataMart Not Started Load
6485 Load.CMDWDataMart Not Started Load
6492 Extract_DW_SBCSMDW Not Started Extract
6486 Transform.Common Not Started Transform
In the GUI under "data warehouse jobs" the job MPSyncJob is Not started but in the details section under Job Progress it's stuck at 48/48 and looks like it's running.
I'm new to System Center so if anyone could point me into the right direction to work out how to get reporting working that would be great.
Thanks.

Modified the required files as per the specifiacation in both xml and properties files .
Deployed the service successfully.
But problem is it's not picking the file from the source server.
Please guide me how to test the service...in the bpel after deploying the service...
how the check the service log ?

Passing builtin arguments to a report deployed as a portlet

I've got a report deployed as a portlet on a page. I want to be able to set the built-in parameter arguments such as orderbycol_1 and orderby_ord_1 directly without using the show interface call. Ideally I want to pass these parameters as part as the URL for the page (http://myserver.com/portal/page?_pageid=6,3,6_23&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL.....etc.)
This is because I want the report to appear in its page portlet and not in a new window using the parameters I passed into it. An HTML portlet with an iFrame containing the URL link (...JH_REPORT.show?p_arg_names=_show_header&p_arg_values=NO etc. etc.) is not a good enough workaround because I have embedded page links within the report data and the iFrame will cause me to have a page within a page. The main driving reason behind this is that I wish to display custom column headings in my report portlet that if clicked on will change the sort order of the report. I can get this to work if the report appears in show mode in a new window, but not as a portlet within a page.
I know how to do this with custom portlets - I can simply use the preference path to pull these parameters out from the URL.
Regards,
John

I've now viewed the HTML source in the 'customize' view of my report portlet and noted all the parameters used. I generated a URL based on all of these parameters, e.g.,
http://myserver.com/portal/page&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL&_type=portlet&_providerid=904735153&_portletid=204&_backurl=http://myserver.com/pls/portal/url/PAGE/TESTPAGES/JH_FORM_REP_INTEGRATION&_mode=2&_referencepath=403765_JH_SORT_REPORT2_904735153&p_arg_names=_orderby_col_1&p_arg_values=DATE_OF_PURCHASE&p_arg_names=_orderby_ord_1&p_arg_values=DESC
and loaded the URL.
I get the following weird behaviour. If I launch the URL then the report does not change its output on the first attempt.
However, clicking on the 'Customize' link shows that the orderbycol_1 and orderbtord_1 values have changed! Clicking on OK/Cancel takes me back to the page with the portlet on and the data is now updated! In fact, just hitting refresh on the main page forces the report to execute correctly.
Is this a caching issue? What is the workaround?
I have attempted to place all these hidden values into the report portlet (before page section) and using a custom layout, added a a javascript function that would submit the hidden form passing a value dependent on which hyperlink I clicked (the link relating to the column I am wishing to sort on and in what order). It suffers from the same issue.
I am so close to getting this to work!! Argh!

SSRS Report Deployment

Hi All,
Could you please me on below query...!
I am getting the below error SSRS 2008 report deployment problem when I do deploy.
Error: The permissions granted to user 'Surya-PC\Surya' are insufficient for performing this operation.
I've configured correctly in configuration manager but I don't understand where is the problem.
TargetServerURL: http://servername/reportserver

Hi SP36,
If we installed Business Intelligence Development Studio on Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008, we should right-click Business Intelligence Development Studio to Run it as Administrator when we want to deploy reports to Report Server.
Besides, before you can publish a report, you must have permission to do so. Permission is determined through role-based security that is defined by your report server administrator. Publishing operations are typically granted through the Publisher role.
So please ensure that you have permission to deploy reports to Report Server.

Report deployment process failed to request management pack list from SQL RS Server. The operation will be retried.

I am encountering following event log in SC2012 Operations Manager and Reporting Tab is not loading in Operations Console.
Report deployment process failed to request management pack list from SQL RS Server. The operation will be retried.
Exception 'WebException': The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized.

Hi,
Can you acess http://reportserver/reports from a web browser on the OpsMgr server?
Moreover,you can use a UDL file to test various connectivity scenarios, create a simple text file, rename the extension from TXT to UDL, fill out the necessary information on the connection tab then test the connection, and troubleshoot
as necessary if it fails to connect.
For more information, please review the link below:

Oracle forms and reports deployment

hi,
i am new to oracle application server i am testing oracle forms and reports deployment, please let me know what part of application server i need to be install for deployment of forms and reports.
only Forms & Reports Services will be fine ?
regards,
Nikunj

only Forms & Reports Services will be fine ?If you only need Forms and Reports, then yes, you can install the standalone version Forms and Reports services, which does not have infrastructure and is much lighter.
Of course, in this case, you can't use features that require infrastructure, like Internet Directory, Single Sign On, Portal, and so on.

Do the SP (i.e. dbo.CdrErrorList) and Views (i.e. CDRReportsConferenceSessionDetailsSummaryView) come with report deployment or Lync installation?

I'm working on a Lync system and found there is no SP like CdrErrorList or View like CDRReportsConferenceSessionDetailsSummaryView on the CDR database. Do they come with report deployment or Lync installation?
This question had already been asked, but no 100% sure answer yet. Anyone can confirm this?
thanks

Hi,
Please make sure you have latest CU installed and check it again.

BEGIN
report_id:= find_report_object('REPORT3');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_FILENAME,'C:\APPLICATION\employeerep.rdf');

SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_DESformat,'htmlcss');
ReportServerJob:=run_report_object(report_id);

You did not say which version of Crystal Reports you're trying to deploy.
CR XI and CR XI Release 2 are NOT supported on 64 bit systems. The only versions of Crystal Reports supported on 64 bit machines is the version of Crystal that bundles with VS2005 - CR.NET 2005 (v10.2). If you upgrade your VS2005 machine by installing CR XI Developer, or CR XI R2 Developer onto your development machine you will not be able to deploy your application. In this case the only option would be to "downgrade" back to the bundled edition that ships with VS2005.

Crystal Reports 13 for VS2013 Hangs when report deployed via Clickonce

Hi,
We have upgraded from vs2008 to vs2013 one of our .net C# projects. Project consist of a Server and a windows client. Reports are run in the client, and data transported with disconnected Datasets ( No direct connection to the database ). We use Microsoft clickonce to deploy this application to our users.
The problem we have is that after the migration clients deployed with clickonce experience a delay of about 1 minute while the report is shown with a message "please wait while the document is processing". However if we run the application directly from the filesystem the report is shown immediately.
running the clickonce deployed shows the following message using process monitor, however after ~1 minute the report displays correctly.

2. Using Vs2013
3. Using SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio - Service Pack 9 - Fixed Issues and updates - Busines…

Hi,
Finally found the issue:
Our windows application every 20 minutes ( 1 minute in debug ) check for clickonce updates in an independent thread using CheckForDetailedUpdate method and then it sleeps.
public void ApplicationUpdateTimerThread()
int updateInterval = applicationUpdateTimer.Interval = 1200000; // 20 mins
if (ApplicationDataAccess.IsDebug) { updateInterval = 60000; }
while (true)
     UpdateCheckInfo updateInfo = appDeployment.CheckForDetailedUpdate();
     Thread.Sleep(updateInterval);
Doing this was locking the filesystem where now Crystal is putting their temporary report files and therefore preventing file access until the thread was active again ( The reason for the 60 seconds delay )
So Creating a new thread to only check for update and let it die inmediately fixed the issue.
public void ApplicationUpdateTimerThread()
int updateInterval = applicationUpdateTimer.Interval = 1200000; // 20 mins
if (ApplicationDataAccess.IsDebug) { updateInterval = 60000; }
while (true)
System.Threading.Thread t1 = new System.Threading.Thread (delegate()
{ UpdateCheckInfo updateInfo = appDeployment.CheckForDetailedUpdate(); });
t1.Start();
Thread.Sleep(updateInterval);

VS Net 3.5 Crystal Reports Deployment causing database login prompt

I have deployed a Visual Studio executible module written in VB Net 3.5 SP 1 with Crystal Reports. When the user tries to view a report(s)
they are prompted to login in to the data base that has been data sourced into the report module. The correct database was verified before the build was made. The developer is able to run the report in a run mode on the local machine where the VB project was created.
In the properties section in the project the following check boxes pertaining to reports were checked on:
         Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008(x86, x64)
         Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Report Viewer
Notes: If the executible module is deployed to a machine that has Visual Studio 2008 installed, the Reports run fine without a database login prompt.
         If the executible module is deployed to a machine that does not have Visual Studio 2008 installed, the user is prompted for a login.
         The data base is a SQL server 2008 database.
I'm being prompted for a server/database login when deploying the application and running it on a machine that does not have Visual Studio 2008 installed on it. One thing I forgot to mention is that the prompt dialog has only the database server name pre-filled but there is
no database name in the dialog. Both of these fields are grayed out. The Crystal Report was updated to reference the new server and database, and I also verified the database successfully.

Hello,
Not sure what DB driver you used to create the reports but if it's the native driver then you need to install the Native client from MS SQL Server 2008 CD/DVD onto the app server also.
MS SQL 2008 will not use MDAC, which is always installed. It requires the client to be installed.
There is also an issue when using OLE DB driver and Time(7) field types in MS's driver and Crystal Reports. Cr see's them as string fields, the driver returns the wrong field type to CR. ODBC does work with these field types.
And is your application running in 32 or 64 bit mode?
Thank you
Don

Report deployed to new server does not display static image

Hi,
We have several web sites on a server running Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard, SP1, 64-bit. It has installed .NET Framework 4 Client Profile and Extended, ver. 4.0.30319 (according to Control Panel->Programs, as well as c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework). Two of the sites use many Crystal Reports, most of which include a static image as a logo. This image is embedded in each report; there is no stand-alone image file that gets deployed.
Recently, we migrated to a new server, running the same version of Windows & .NET Framework. As near as we can tell, the 2 servers are nearly identical, as far as configuration and permissions, etc. One notable exception is the DefaultAppPool, which is Classic on the original server and Integrated on the new. (When I changed the new server to Classic, the apps failed to run properly.) The other exception is the old server is on a stand-alone box, while the new server is a virtual machine.
For one of the apps on the new server, the embedded logo images are not displaying on the page. Instead, there is a little red X with the word "Image". For the other app on the new server, the reports display fine. Furthermore, if I copy one of the "broken" rpt files from the "broken" app to the "good" app, the report displays correctly! And of course, the same file displays correctly in all circumstances on the old server.
This suggests to me that there is not a problem with the report file, per se', but rather with the environment to which it is deployed. Permissions? If so, where?
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

The search string 'crystal red x net' (search box in top right corner) should return a number of KBAs, docs, blogs, etc. See if any of those help.

Crystal Report Deployment Help

Hi,
We have developed Winforms, which uses Crystal Reports. When we were loading the report using "..\..\Reports\Reportname.rpt", the path inside the project's subfolder in development was working fine. As soon as we deployed the set up project, which was created by Visual studio team system 2008 Setup project, we are receiving an error message "Load report failed" when we load the Crystal Reports from the application.
It seems that it could not find the path of the report, or it could not find the required Crystal Reports DLL files to load the report. We'd be very appreciated if any of you can help.
Thanks,
Wilson

See [this|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/CrystalReportsforVisualStudio.NETRuntimeDistribution-Versions9.1to12.0] wiki. Find your version of CR and the runtime link. Download that, install the CR runtime.
