Report Viewer in MS Access

I've looked through the forums but haven't found a solution. I've got a report viewer control (Crystal Reports 11) on an MS Access form. I need to deploy the runtime files to client machines. I've tried installing the merge modules but to no avail. What merge modules are needed for Crystal 11?

Hello Eli,
You do indeed need to install the merge modules. Here is another forum posting with a similiar issue:

You will have to use the Crystal Reports Report Designer Component (craxdrt.dll). Before you do however, it may be good to know that CR XI r2 is the last version of CR that includes the craxdrt.dll as this is considered to be a retired technology in CR 2008. This may impact your efforts as the life cycle of the app may be limited(?).
Here is a link to more details of the RDC lifecycle:

Using MS Access to Pull Up the Report Viewer - Crystal Reports 2008

We recently purchased Crystal Reports 2008 Developer so that we can create standardized and feature rich reporting solutions for our company. Many of our current applications are developed in MS Access XP. It has been quite some time since I have worked in Crystal Report and it seems a lot has changed.
One thing I remember is that there was an ActiveX control that could be added to an Access application, giving the application the ability to pull up a report in a separatre Crystal Viewer. I am having difficulties is finding an object in Access for Cyrstal Reports 2008 (Crystal 12) for the Report Viewer. Is there still such an ActiveX object available for MS Access applications?

Thanks. I got it now.
Now my problem is getting the crpe32.dll registered. I keep getting an error and the CrystalVCL example application fails due to not beign able to fnd the correct version.
You'll have to treat me like I'm stupid on this one. I usually work in the over simplified Access application "development". So dealing with any real object oriented environment and any complex dll registering is a bit beyond me at this point. But I'm learning.
I have two crpe32.dll's on my computer one is in C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86
And another is in C:\Program Files\Common Files\BusinessObjects\3.0\bin
I have tried registering both of these and neither one will work. So, maybe that means that the're not supposed to be registered through regsvr32?

Crystal Report Viewer Not Releasing Oracle Database Connections

I have a very simple vb.net 3.5 web application that uses the Crystal Report viewer 2008 to open a report. My requirements are as follows:
1. Reports are built by another company and provided to us and used in a web environment
2. All reports contain parameter fields
3. The web application must be generic enough that a report can be added to a list and the user simply selects the report and provides database login information. The Crystal report viewer with handle the request for parameter values and prompt the user for their values.
4. All reports connect to an Oracle 10g server.
The above requirements have been meet and we have an extremely simple web application that runs the reports. It is working very well other than the crystal report viewer is not releasing the database connections. This is bad because the credentials are on a per user basis and that same user must login to a different oracle application simultaneously. They are being denied access because the credentials are already in use. We do not have control nor influence over the policies in use on the Oracle server. Ideally we would like to control the Crystal Report viewer so that it closes connections after use.
The web application code is:
Private Sub viewReports_Init(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Init
If Not IsPostBack Then
ConfigureCrystalReport()
End If
End Sub
Private Sub ConfigureCrystalReport()
'Load the Crystal Report viewer with a report.
Try
Dim reportPath As String = Server.MapPath(Session("reportname"))
crViewer.ReportSource = reportPath
Catch ex As Exception
Response.Write(Server.MapPath(Session("reportname")) & "
" & ex.Message.ToString & "
" & ex.StackTrace.ToString)
End Try
End Sub
Can anyone shed some light on this topic? Thank you

Hello, Timothy;
By default, having the report in session will hold it open for 20 minutes.
If you create the report as a ReportDocument object you can take it out of session and release it more efficiently. That will release the connection.
    Private Sub ConfigureCrystalReports()
        If (Session("hierarchicalGroupingReport") Is Nothing) Then
            hierarchicalGroupingReport = New ReportDocument()
            hierarchicalGroupingReport.Load(Server.MapPath("Hierarchical Grouping.rpt"))
            Session("hierarchicalGroupingReport") = hierarchicalGroupingReport
        Else
            hierarchicalGroupingReport = CType(Session("hierarchicalGroupingReport"), ReportDocument)
        End If
        myCrystalReportViewer.ReportSource = hierarchicalGroupingReport
    End Sub
In the Form Unload of the Viewer:
            'Take the report out of session
            Session("hierarchicalGroupingReport") = Nothing
            Session.Contents.Remove("hierarchicalGroupingReport")
            'Clean up the ReportDocument object
            hierarchicalGroupingReport.Close
            hierarchicalGroupingReport.Dispose()
            hierarchicalGroupingReport = Nothing
            GC.Collect()

Crystal report viewer does not observe the PaperSize and PageOrientation setting

Hi:
My application is a 3 tier application, where the WinForm client is connected to the WCF Services hosted in IIS server.
The report is generated on server side using WCF service, and export as.rpt with data, the .rpt file is then sent to the WinForm client, the Crystal Report viewer is used to load the .rpt file for preview and print.
On server side I've Microsoft XPS Document Writer installed and set as default printer. On the client side if the default printer is XPS or Nitro PDF creator, the report can be view and print correctly, report design in landscape will be able to show in the landscape in CR viewer, report design using custom paper size (e.g. Half Letter), CR viewer able to show it in Half Letter.
The problem that I'm facing is when the default printer is set to HP LaserJet P1120 or others (I've tried Epson ESC/P Standard driver), the report is always shown in the portrait, and it will not be able to show in custom paper size either. Here is my code:
     Dim settings As New System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings
     Dim rep as New ReportDocument
     rep.Load(sOutputFileName)     'The report is download from server and save in sOutputFileName
     SetReportPaperSize(rep, sPaperSizeName, False, settings) ' sPaperSizeName store the name of the custom paper used in the report
     CrViewer.ReportSource = rep
   Public Shared Sub SetReportPaperSize(rep As ReportDocument, paperSizeName As String, isHardCopy As Boolean, settings As Printing.PrinterSettings)
      Dim installedPrinters As Printing.PrinterSettings.StringCollection = Printing.PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters
      Dim printers As New List(Of String)
      Dim sPrinter As String
      If installedPrinters.Count = 0 Then
         Return
      End If
      SetPrinterDefaultPaperSize(rep.PrintOptions, paperSizeName, settings)
      With rep.PrintOptions
         .PrinterName = settings.PrinterName
         .PaperSource = PaperSource.Auto
         If paperSizeName.Trim.Length > 0 Then
            .PaperSize = DirectCast(GetPapersizeId(paperSizeName, settings, rep.PrintOptions.PaperSize), CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSize)
         End If
      End With
   End Sub
   Public Shared Sub SetPrinterDefaultPaperSize(printOptions As PrintOptions, paperSizeName As String, settings As Printing.PrinterSettings)
      With settings.DefaultPageSettings
         If paperSizeName.Trim.Length = 0 Then
            . PaperSize = GetPaperSize (printOptions.PaperSize, settings)
         Else
            For Each size As Printing.PaperSize In settings.PaperSizes
               If size.PaperName.EqualsTo(paperSizeName) Then
                  .PaperSize = size
                  Exit For
               End If
            Next
         End If
         .Landscape = printOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Landscape
         .Margins.Top = printOptions.PageMargins.topMargin
         .Margins.Left = printOptions.PageMargins.leftMargin
         .Margins.Bottom = printOptions.PageMargins.bottomMargin
         .Margins.Right = printOptions.PageMargins.rightMargin
      End With
   End Sub
   Public Shared Function GetPaperSize(paperSizeId As Integer, defaultPrinterSettings As Printing.PrinterSettings) As Printing.PaperSize
      Dim settings As Printing.PrinterSettings = defaultPrinterSettings
      Dim result As Printing.PaperSize
      If settings Is Nothing Then
         settings = New Printing.PrinterSettings
      End If
      ' Default paper Size defined in the printer
      result = settings.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize
      For Each size As Printing.PaperSize In settings.PaperSizes
         If size.RawKind = paperSizeId Then
            result = size
            Exit For
         End If
      Next
      Return result
   End Function
   Public Shared Function GetPapersizeId(paperSizeName As String, defaultPrinterSettings As Printing.PrinterSettings Optional defaultpaperSizeId As CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSize = CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSize.DefaultPaperSize) As Integer
      Dim settings As Printing.PrinterSettings = defaultPrinterSettings
      Dim result As Integer = defaultpaperSizeId
      If settings Is Nothing Then
         settings = New Printing.PrinterSettings
      End If
      If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(paperSizeName) Then
         For Each size As Printing.PaperSize In settings.PaperSizes
            ' Height and Width in Printing.PaperSize is measure in hundredths of an inch
            If size.PaperName.EqualsTo(paperSizeName) Then
               result = size.RawKind
               Exit For
            End If
         Next
      End If
      Return result
   End Function
Setting the PrintOptions.PaperSize and PageOrientation seem like no effect on the viewer. My code to load the report to CR viewer is much more complicated than the code I show above, I've a background worker thread to download the report, and when the worker thread finished download the report from the server, it will assign the report to CRViewer. Do the changes in report PrintOption before assign to CRViewe and after assigning to CRViewer make any different?
I'm using VS2010, CR XI R2 (Version 11.5.3700.0). Please Help. Thanks
Regards
JC Voon

Hi JC,
CRXI R2 is a no go with VS 2010, these two are not compatible.
With CR 11.5 use VS 2005.
Or Use VS 2010 and CR for VS 2010 (13.0)
Once you have the supported / compatible conbination of CR and VS, use the In Proc RAS .NET code from below KBA.

Also, see the KBAs returned by below search. The top right corner search box on this page is quite helpful.

Crystal Reports Viewer Control - Visual Studio 2008 WEB Application

My question is this: Has ANYONE on this planet been able to get the ASP .NET CR Viewer control to actually work?
Why does this editor NOT recognize End-of-line or CR characters or any whitespace??
I have developed a Crystal Reports "Viewer" web application in VS2008 using C#.
It's a simple app, in that it's a single page with a treeview control (containing the grouped names of the reports to which the user has access) and the CR Viewer control.
The report files live on a network share, and permissions to them is controlled via a SQL Server database, which, for each report, stores the UserID and Logion for the oracle database, as well as any required parameter values.
The reports themselves are all hititng an Oracle 10g database.
I managed to do this in a Windows desktop applcation using Visual Studio 2005 and VB .net, but now, upon trying to make this a web application in VS2008, I have completely failed. The application works when run locally, but when deployed to the web server, I experience database login prompts when I should not, (the dreaded "Report requires further information" message) even thought the setdatabaselogin has already been set. I have tried saving the reportdocument in viewstate and re-assigning the viewer Datasource property to it, that also fails. However, it only does it on some reports, and not others. (admittedly, the reports may have been created using different CR versions)
The viewer also displays data it should not be displaying when I attempt to scroll, when I do manage to get a report to run.
I am setting parameters dynamically at run time, whose values are stored in the SQL database.
Code Sample:
protected void ShowReport(int ReportID)
 SQLDataPortal2005.Common sql = new SQLDataPortal2005.Common();
 Hashtable outParms = new Hashtable();
 string sAccess;
 IDataReader dr;
 CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument rptDocument = new CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument();
 System.Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal p = System.Threading.Thread.CurrentPrincipal as System.Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal;
 sAccess = p.Identity.Name;
 int j = 0;
 int i = -1;
 if (!IsAdmin())
 sql.ExecNonQuery("CrystalReports", outParms, "proc_CRM_Check_Permissions", sAccess, Convert.ToInt32(TreeView1.SelectedNode.Value));
 if (outParms["@Allow"].ToString() != "True")
 Response.Redirect("ErrorPage.aspx"); // redirect to error page
 string sPath = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["WareHouse"].ToString();
 sPath = sPath + TreeView1.SelectedNode.Text.Trim() + ".rpt";
 rptDocument.Load(sPath);
 dr = sql.GetDataReader("CrystalReports", "proc_CRM_Get_Report", Convert.ToInt32(TreeView1.SelectedNode.Value));
 while (dr.Read() == true)
 j += 1;
 if (j < 2)
 rptDocument.SetDatabaseLogon(dr["DB_Login"].ToString(), dr["DB_Pwd"].ToString(), "PLAW", "LAWDB", true);
 pList = dr["ParmList"].ToString().Split(',');
 dr.Close();
 dr.Dispose();
 if (pList.Length > 0 && pList[0].ToString().Trim() != "")
 foreach (CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterField x in rptDocument.ParameterFields)
 i++;
 switch (x.ParameterValueType)
 case CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterValueKind.BooleanParameter:
 rptDocument.SetParameterValue(x.Name, Convert.ToBoolean(pList));
 break;
 case CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterValueKind.CurrencyParameter:
 rptDocument.SetParameterValue(x.Name, Convert.ToDouble(pList));
 break;
 case CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterValueKind.DateParameter:
 rptDocument.SetParameterValue(x.Name, Convert.ToDateTime(pList));
 break;
 case CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterValueKind.DateTimeParameter:
 rptDocument.SetParameterValue(x.Name, Convert.ToDateTime(pList));
 break;
 case CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterValueKind.NumberParameter:
 rptDocument.SetParameterValue(x.Name, Convert.ToInt32(pList));
 break;
 case CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterValueKind.StringParameter:
 rptDocument.SetParameterValue(x.Name, Convert.ToString(pList));
 break;
 case CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterValueKind.TimeParameter:
 rptDocument.SetParameterValue(x.Name, Convert.ToDateTime(pList));
 break;
 Session["CReport"] = rptDocument;
 CRV1.ReportSource = rptDocument;
 CRV1.DisplayGroupTree = false;
 CRV1.HasRefreshButton = true;
 CRV1.ShowFirstPage();
Is there a better/different way of accomplishing this very simply process? All I need this application to do is to view a report, while setting it's parmeters (if required) dynamically at run time. I don't EVER want the user to be prompted for DB LOGIN INFO.

To answer you question; Yes, I suspect that most of the users in this community have managed to successfully create web apps. And this is the tiniest of sampling of the developers out there...
A few suggestions;
1) Keep the posts to under 1200 characters. Otherwise, the formatting is lost which makes it difficult to read.
2) Try out a few sample apps from here:
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/CrystalReportsfor.NETSDK+Samples
Suggest; csharp_web_simplelogonengine.zip, csharp_web_simplelogonviewer.zip and csharp_web_subreport_logon.zip.
3) Start simple; one table, one field, no subreports. Hard code the database logon parameters. Convince your self that this does work. Increase the complexity - add fields, tables, subreports. Do not mix connection methods (e.g.; if ODBC for main, than ODBC for sub is a good idea, though not a requirement).
4) See the article [Troubleshooting Guide to Database Connectivity Issues with Crystal Reports in Visual Studio .NET Applications|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/b0225775-88c4-2c10-bd80-8298769293de].
5) See [this|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d05b3bb7-0f28-2c10-4ea3-84dbdc4e414e?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true] article.

Crystal Report Viewer and Windows Vista

Hi,
We are using RDC methodology for launching the crystal reports in the web using ASP.
The web server operating system is Windows 2003, Crystal Reports XI is installed in it. Report is not launching in only one client machine. For all the other client machines reports are launching perfectly. The problem is blank white activex control is displayed. I tried to register the crystal reports viewer (ActiveXViewer.cab available in the crystal installation folder) deliverables in the client machine but after installing the deliverables same problem persists.
When I click on the Crystal Report viewer Internet Explorer Exception occurs

Could any one help me regarding this.

Hello,
First thing to do is upgrade to [CR XI R2 SP4 full build|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100011802732008E/crxir2_sp4_full_build.exe]. Then get up to Service Pack 6 and you should not have problems with Vista.
CR XI R1 will not and has never been tested on that OS.
If you do not want to upgrade though use Process Monitor to watch for Access Denied errors. Also run IE in Compatibility mode.
Likely what is happening is your test PC doesn't have rights to install ActiveX controls.
Thank you
Don

Thank you for your answer which remind me and lead me to the resolution. I have struggling on this SQL Server Report Server 2012/Client printing control for
2 days.
I just cannot figure out why it kept prompting non-admin XenApp users for SSRS installation. Thanks for your notes again.
I have 2008 R2 server setup as XenApp server for the publish apps. We published the IE to user to access Web application with SQL 2012 reporting service in
the backend.
In the control environment, users do not have permission to install any software. This SSRS has to be installed as administrator under “Install mode” in XenApp
server.
Yes, 32bit IE works for me but 64bit IE works too.
You just need to ensure which version of IE you’re using to install the SSRS. I’m not aware of using 32bit IE for SSRS installation in server but publish 64bit
IE to client. That’s my mistake.
Thanks again.

Crystal Report Viewer Not viwed - Through APP Server Re-Direction

Hello Team
I have a critical problem in my organizaion for viewing the reports.
Configuration that we are using:
1. Windows Server 2008 R2
2. Crystal 13 - Server Trial Version - Expiring on Aug-25th, 2014
3. Used Visual Studio 2010 - .NET
4. IIS 7.0 - configured a Virtual Directory for ASP.NET application
Out Application is using an Oracle APP Server to view the HTML. A button is provided in the HTML to redirect to view the Crystal Report.
when I click on the Hyperlink and the url is directly accessed, then the Report is being shown without any issue.
But ours is a corporate application and we have given a provision of accessign this application when users are outside of network. Hence the Crystal Server is under fire-wall. So, I cannot access it directly with a URL. Hence the app server is configured in such a way that if it find a name like "Reports" in the URL, then it redirects to the actual Web Server and gets back the data to the browser.
for URL redirection, the app server is configured as below
 ProxyPass /crystalreportviewers/ http://<<ServerIP>>/crystalreportviewers/
 ProxyPassReverse /crystalreportviewers/ http://<<ServerIP>>/crystalreportviewers
 ProxyPass /reports10/ http://<<ServerIP>>/reports10/
 ProxyPassReverse /reports10/ http://<<ServerIP>>/reports10
When the user redirects from the APP server using those redirection rules, the pages are being executed but the final crystal report viewer control is not being shown on the browser. I am not sure if we need to perform any other steps to get these thigns done.
Our server is behind fire-wall and whenever I am in network, I used to get the output but when the redirection happens not able to load the Crystal Report Viewer. Not sure, if there are any other security rules that I need to consider to get back the CrystalReportViewer.
Also, there is something called CrystalReportInteractiveViewer prior to Crystal13. Do we have anything as such in Crystal 13 also? Please help me in getting this worked.
Please let me know if I am not clear in my explanation and I can certainly provide you a better information based on your queries.
Thanks

Crystal report viewer from portlet

Hi,
I have a problem with opening Crystal report viewer from portlet. I am using Spring portletMVC but this doesnt matter in this case. After clicking some button a controller process form in method where is access to ActionRequest, ActionResponse. But how can I "redirect" with some parameters to plain JSP page where I can write something like this:
CrystalReportViewer viewer = new CrystalReportViewer();
     viewer.setReportSource(rcd.getReportSource());
     viewer.processHttpRequest(request, response, getServletConfig().getServletContext(), out);
     viewer.dispose();
Oh, perharps is understandable, sorry for my English and thanks for helping. Any code of link would be wonderful.

I haven't worked with Crystal Reports in quite awhile, but in the past I've written code to launch Crystal Reports using OLE. If I recall correctly, there existed an ActiveX control that could be embedded into VB forms, and the like. I'm unsure, however, whether they continue to support this mechanism. Given that your requirements do not allow CLIENT_HOST or DDE, however, I am guessing that OLE automation would also be unacceptable.
Have you looked at WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT?

How can I get the View Tab name on the Crystal Report Viewer at runtime?

When a report is displayed in the Windows Forms Crystal Report Viewer and the user drills into the report, the drill down view is displayed in a seperate view and is identified via a View tab at the top of the report. I can determine the index of the view tab that is currently selected, but I need to access the text that is on the View tab. The only properties that I've found that pertain to the "view" on the Crystal Report viewer are the ActiveViewIndex and the ViewCount. Unfortunately, neither of these items help me because they are not specific to a certain section of the report. Has anyone had any luck accessing the View Tab properties ? Thanks.

The tabs at the top of the page are nested within some of the viewers controls. Through trial and error you just have to find the right one. In this case the main part of the report is in the first control. This happens to be a TabControl. From there you can loop through the TabPages on the TabControl to grab the names of the tabs.
Here is a quick example of what I did to get the tab text. All this code was in a button click event.
Control oControl = crystalReportViewer1.Controls[0];
TabControl oTabControl = (TabControl)oControl.Controls[0];
foreach (TabPage oTabPage in oTabControl.TabPages)
MessageBox.Show(oTabPage.Text);

Very slow loading time - Crystal Reports Viewer 2008

Hi,
I search this forum to find another thread regarding this issue. Since I've found nothing in particular, I started this one.
We are currently developping a new report engine based on the .Net Crystal Report Viewer. This engine will be used in our applications to show, print and export reports. We based the engine on the Crystal Report 2008 version (12.0.2000). The code is in C#, targeted on the Framework 3.5 SP1. For the CR runtime, we tested on machines with the SP2 and SP3 versions, as well as on a computer with Crystal Report Developper installed (v12.3.0.601) with no runtimes. Since the runtime is in x86 only, the engine is compiled in x86 (not ANY CPU)
When we try to open a report in an application, the first report loading is unusally slower than the others. If I open a report, close it and open it a second time, the second time is much faster than the first. While reading the threads, I realized that the first load implies some assembly loading from the Framework (which is normal).
But since i can take as long as 20-30 seconds to load the first report, I ran some test. Using the System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.AssemblyLoad event, I've tracked the assemblies being loaded when opening the report and the start time of the loading. I've discovered that, while most of the CR assemblies takes less than 500 milliseconds to load, there is one that takes at least 3 seconds (20 seconds sometimes) to load : BusinessObjects.Licensing.KeyCodeDecoder. Each time I ran the tests, it is the assembly that is the slowest (and by far) among them all.
Prior to this, we were using Delphi with the Crystal Report 10 runtime. We never had such issues. Now, some customers are complaining about this behavior.
For you information, we are using the ReportDocument.Load() method to load documents. Our reports are all dynamically linked to the database with the DataSourceConnections.SetConnection() method. The report is being loaded in the viewer using the CrystalReportViewer.ReportSource property.
Why does it takes so long to load/execute ? Is there something implied with registry keys or Internet access ? Is there a way to speed up things ?
Thanks !

Thanks for your help Don ! :o)
I know that the CR10 runtime was built on win32 and while I knew that the .Net version of the runtime would be slower due to the Framework and .Net architecture, we did not expect such differences between the two methods.
You are right that the hardware could play a great factor here, but since I work on this machine for a few years now and I saw the performance from the old CRPE32.dll and the new .Net counterpart, I am really surprised that there is such a difference. Most of our customers have entry-level desktops and our application always ran well on it, until now.
So, if it is the way that the CR 2008 runtime works, do you know if your developpers optimized this part with the next version (CR 2010) or it is based on the same engine ?
Thanks again for your time !

Database query using report parameters in Report Viewer 2008 and CR-XI

Hi - I have written a report for in-house use on an Access database. The report uses parameters to filter the record selection for reporting. The report operates fine in Crystal XI, but in Crystal Report Viewer 2008, the parameters are not shown and appear to be inaccessible. Is there a way to query the database in CRV2008, as opposed to simply showing the data that was saved from CR-XI in the report? Would I have to use the Crystal Server to do this? Is there a no-cost solution that I could use instead of CRV2008 for such functionality?
Thanks - Barney

Hi Barney,
As noted CRV is for reports with saved data only, no prompting allowed. I'll move this post to the OnDemand forums, possibly they have suggestions a s work around.
You should call our Sales team and describe your situation, possibly they have a low cost solution for you.
If you have a .NET or Java developer available you could always write and host your own WEB app that would be simple to use and should not take to much to do.
We have samples that you could use so most of the work is done for you.
Thank you
Don
CORRECTION: Report Viewer is handled by the Report Design Forum so moving the psot back

Report Viewer Webpart is Blank in Custom Master Page

Dear Experts ,
Recently my team created a new master page to replace seattle default page in Sharepoint 2013. Things were fine till the moment we accessed one of site page containing a Report Viewer Web Part to load SSRS rdl. The web part is blank
with just standard SSRS toolbar and parameter. To isolate the problem, I have confirmed that the same page works fine in seattle master. I notice that something could be missing in our site (though I am clueless on what those are). There is one post online
from someone with potentially similar issue, but it does not help in our case. Some pointers from will be appreciated. Cheers.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/selvar/archive/2013/11/28/using-reporting-service-web-part-with-sharepoint-custom-master-pages.aspx

Hi,
Please try to add AsyncPostBackTimeout="0" inside the ScriptManager code in your master page.
<asp:scriptmanager id="ScriptManager" runat="server" enablepagemethods="false" enablepartialrendering="true" enablescriptglobalization="false" asyncpostbacktimeout="0" enablescriptlocalization="true" />
If the issue still exists, I suggest you provide some error messages or code for further research.
Thanks,
