Reporting server stucks in installation

Hi,
I'm trying to install the reporting server on a W2K3ee machine with 4GB Ram. During the "Prerequisite Check" the installation routinge hangs and nothing happens.
Any idea?
Thanks

Crystal Reports Server 2008 Trial Installation Problem

I recently downloaded the trial version of Crystal Reports Server 2008 and ran into a problem with the installation key code sent to me. During the install, I enter the keycode and the install application says it is invalid. I'm attempting to install the Linux version on Red Hat Enterprise 5.2. I know that this is technically not a supported version of Linux but I would not expect that cause a problem with the key code.
Does anyone have any ideas on what is happening?
Thanks...

Hi Jeff,
I would suggest you to install Crystal reports on supported platform only.
To narrow down the issue you can try to install on other machine with supported environment so that it would be clear that the issue is with Keycode or not.

Crystal Reports Server 2008 V1 installation on Windows Server 2008

Hello,
I am trying to install CRS2008V1 on Windows Server 2008 x64 with SQL Server 2008 and IIS 7.0. Installation wizard says that installation is finished succesfull but I cannot access CMC Console and InfoView. Is there anything which shuld be done more? CRS2008 installation on Windows 2003 was trouble free. I'm very confused now... Anyone can help me?
Regards,
Seb.

I had similar issues. My resolution was...
- In IIS Manager, create a new Application Pool called "Classic .NET AppPool"
- For that app pool, set the managed pipeline mode to "Classic"
- with that new app pool selected, click on View Applications in the right-hand panel
- make sure that you see all of the Business Objects applications listed, if not...
- click the Remove Filter link in the top panel
- open each Business Objects related application and assign it to the new app pool
You may need to do an iisreset at that point, but that cleared up the issue for me.

Reporting Server Installation Compatibility

Hi,
I've completed the construction of an OES 11 SP1/SLES 11 SP2 server with ZENworks 11 SP2, Updated to 11.2.1/11.2.2 via the manual update method. I'm preparing to install the ZENworks Reporting Server, but I'm hesitant due to the fact that the ZEN Reporting Server 11.2 installation guide tells me that the requirements to install the reporting software stop at SLES 11 SP1 (well, that coupled with the fact that the installation media is named "ZENworks11SP1_Reporting_Lin", which doesn't sound like SP2) .
I've initially launched the installation process via setup.sh, but I'm receiving input/output errors when executing the command. The exact error is: "/media/iso/Install/Disk1/InstData/Linux/VM/install.bin: /media/iso/Install/Disk1/InstData/Linux/VM/install.bin: Input/Output error". I will download the iso again and double check the md5sum to be sure of the integrity of the download.
The most important set of questions I'd like to ask are: (1) Is this version of the reporting software incompatible with the environment I've built? (2) If the answer to (1) is "yes", when will Novell be releasing a compatible version for this environment?
Of course, if anyone has seen the error I mentioned earlier and would like to save me some time downloading another copy, I'd be happy to listen to your experience and potential solution.
Thanks,
Elliott

Yes, the SP1 ZRS works with ZCM 11.2. It's kinda dumb with the naming, but that's what you do/use/install.
But I've not tried on an OES11 SP1 server, just on plain SLES11 SP1 at the time.

Broken install of Crystal Reports Server XI R2

Hi
In attempting to install some .NET applications I inadvertantly broke our Crystal Report Server (CRS) XIR2 installation, which was at SP2..
The problem caused the following services to fail:
CMS
CR Cache Server
CR Page Server
Input Fle Repository Server
Output file repository Server
Report Application Server
The changes made to the server that caused the problem involved installing and removing different Crystal client and .NET packages. I also ran out of disk space but that was resolved withiout it fixing my CRS issue.
I have tried to resolve this by installing SP5, in the hope that any invalid DLLs will be replaced during the SP5 install.
However, we still have the problem and I am wondering what to look at next. All the servers have moved from 11.5.8.826 to 11.5.11.1470 as a result of the application of SP5, but I am guessing the objects causing the problem are outside the scope of the SP5 install.
Any suggestions? Can anyone who has CRS XI R2 installed give me a list of ancillary Crystal applications and versions they depend on?
Thanks Jack, London UK

A detailed review of the Windows Application Event log shows this sequence of events
I was trying to get a .NET Crystal automation program to run and it was not working - it looked to me like I need to install a Crstal runtime client to make this work. I realise we should use a test server but this is a small business with no VMs and only a few servers.
Up to 15:49:49 - Crystal Reports Server was running normally. At that time Crystal Reports Basic Runtime was reconfigured - I think I tried using Repair from within Add/Remove Programs. This attempt failed, so I removed it Product Name: Crystal Reports Basic Runtime for Visual Studio 2008. Product Version: 10.5.0.0. Product Language: 1033. At that point the log records application errors for the BO Page Server - full text:-
Event Type:     Warning
Event Source:     BusinessObjects_pageserver
Event Category:     Transport

In addition there were Job Server child errors like this:-

At that point Crystal Reports Server had stopped working

Which server do I install Crystal Reports Server On?

I'm new to crystal reports server and preparing to install 2008. I've been through the Crystal Reports Server 2008 Quick Installation Guide for Window and it does not refer to which server it should be installed on. I'm currently running a SQL server Business One is located on, a web server for Web Tools and an Exchange Server. I'm assuming I would install it on my SQL server that has SAP located there also. Is there a recomended location or suggestions for specific location?

Hi,
not sure what you mean but let's summarize:
Task: Building reports that fetch data from SAP sources
Software needed: Crystal Reports Designer 2008 + BOBJ int.Kit for SAP (client installation option)
Task: Publishing and scheduling CR reports that fetch data from SAP sources
Software needed: BO Edge XI 3.1 or BO Enterprise XI 3.1 + BOBJ int.Kit for SAP (server installation option)
You mentioned that you want to install Crystal Reports Server 2008. It provides almost the same functionality as BO Enterprise and BO Edge but it DOES NOT support scheduling and publishing reports in the InfoView (kind of BOBJ portal) which fetch data from SAP sources.
I would suggest to install the BOBJ server software on a separate machine, as long as the machine resides on the same domain as your SAP server.

VCM installation help needed on SQL DB and Reporting server

Hi All,
I'm new to VCM and now i got stuck at the SQL DB and Report server portion.
I'm running the vcm server on VM and the SQL is a physical server, both are sitting on the same LAN.
I have create the SQL DB but VCM just fail to validate the DB and report server.
I login to VCM using a Domain account for installation, and i tried to testing the DB using ODBC from the window, result fail.
Error message as attach.
I'm now totally lost on SQL portion.
My Question:
Is there any configuration needed on SQL DB?
How to get the reporting server to working?
What port is needed to it all working??
VCM server Ms Win2012.
SQL version 2012.
Many thanks to all who reply.

Hi Simonhoo79,
For SSRS, first check whether the report server link is accessible from your browser : "http://s01-fes-vcm1:80/ReportServer" . If you continue to get 404 error there also, then you need to reconfigure you report server first before proceeding to vcm installation. Follow the steps on below link on how to reconfigure report server using report services configuration Manager for 404 error.
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/75910bcb-a879-4eb7-9757-acc45201fa3a/can-not-connect-to-reportserver-http-404-file-not-found?forum=sqlexpress
For SQL server ODBC connection,
Dont create ODBC connection for SQL Native Client. Create ODBC connection for SQL Server.
1. Open ODBC Data Source Administrator
2. Click User DSN tab and Click Add button.
3. Select SQL server and click finish
4. Give name and description and Give the SQL server name (with instance name if your using named instance) or IP in the Server text box.
5. Click Next and select either Windows authentication or sql authentication based on your SQL server authentication mode and click next.
6. If the details given are correct then it will proceed further and check "Change the dafault database to" to your VCM database
7. Click next and finish and try test data source.
VCM 5.7.2 and below will support installation only on windows server 2008 R2 and it doesn't support windows server 2012 but it support both 2008 and 2012 sql servers.

Reports Server 6. installation problem on NT

Hi,
I am trying to install Dev2k Reports server on NT4, SP3. I created the Report server service, configured it to start up service as my user account.
The starting up of the service fails. In the ORAHOME/Rerpot60/server/*.log file I keep getting the 'Daemon failed to listen to port.' error message. I simply have not got a clue, what may be the problem.
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Having issues with starting Reports Server on RHEL5 after installation

Hi, I installed Oracle Application Server 10.1.2 on RHEL, ran the patches to move it up to 10.1.2.3. I've also put a couple patches in addition.
When I go to my application server console, I noticed everything is started up but my Reports Server. I've tried to manually start it via the browser, and it tells me it starts up. But when I go back to the main page of the application server console, it shows still as down. I've tried to log onto the server and issue a statement to start the reports server. However, it still will not start.
I followed the steps made in Metalink Document 564174.1 and did everything that was asked.
Anybody got any ideas on what might be causing this?
The only error (warning message) I received during any part of the installation process was the OPMN Process Manager didn't start. I went ahead and continued (not sure if that's my problem). But that was the only issue. And like I say, the forms server seems to work fine. No issues. I've set up my application and I can call all the forms in my application. It works.
Regards,
Chris

One thing is that the status in EM console is showed ad Stoped and indeed it's stoped and other is that the EM is not able to see if the process is up. Lots of times I had problems like this where the Reports Server is showed as down but the proc exist and the service is attending request.
Have you try to test report server running a sample report?
Have you check is exist a proces for the report server?
Have you use the rwdiag.sh -findall to see if the process exists?
Hope this helps
Greetings.

Report Server Installation Problem

hi
we have installed java web server and dev6 server and deployed our application (which
was coded on Forms 5 later converted to 6) it is working fine in the web browser
but we have problem in running developer report server as nt service. we have followed the same steps as stated on oracle documentation.
we have added all the necessary entries in the registry and created an entry at tnsnames.ora, then installed the oracle report server at the command prompt - the service was added. upto this point it was quite okay. when we startup the report service we are getting "Oracle Report Server Service retuned server specfic error 186"
our oracle server runs on diffrent system
whose ip address is 129.1.2.203 and instance name is O8E. the web server and developer server runs on workstation and it got the following entry on the tnsnames.ora:
rserver.world =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS =
(PROTOCOL = TCP)
(Host = 129.1.2.201)
(Port = 1521)
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = O8E)
we have checke-up all the trouble-shooting tips given in the documentation, but all in vain.
can anybody suggest some tips on this
thanks in advance
regds.,
null

The tns entry you show for rserver is a DATABASE entry (it has a SID) which would explain why this doesn't work - the reports server entry is shorter.
Please refer to the Reports Server Configuration whitepaper, available on OTN (under the 6.0 collateral) which provides in-depth instructions for setting this up. In Reports 6i the installer does all this for you.

Hello,
The installation of a Reports Server as a "Windows Service" is no more possible in Oracle Reports 10g R2 :
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_17/bi.1012/b14048/pbr_strt.htm#i1005629
Start the reports server with the command :

or use opmn to manage the reports server .

Crystal Reports Server XI Installation

We just purchased Crystal Reports Server XI for Crystal Reports Professional and I want to install it minimally as I think we may have "overbought"; that aside, the big question is where do I go from here to put this on our servers w/o impacting current applications?
TOPOLOGY:
- we have a Windows network with Windows 2003 Small Biz Server and a 2nd server with Windows 2003 Standard running Terminal Services.
- goal is to allow 1 main user to create reports from Quickbooks using Crystal Reports while they are on the Terminal Server
This breaks down into the following questions:
1) do I need to install the server portion at all? or can I just install Crystal Reports Pro via the CLIENT installation on the terminal server?
2) if I do have to, I'd rather use MSDE already installed but how should this be set up?
3) what impact will this make on the SBS web server which we are already using for OWA and Remote Web Workplace?
Any tech docs/manuals that you could link me to would be appreciated as well.
Thanks,
Doug

Hi Doug,
With regards to your questions, they will be answered in the following ways:
1) do I need to install the server portion at all? or can I just install Crystal Reports Pro via the CLIENT installation on the terminal server?
This questions is better by your company's requirements. The Crystal Reports Server (CRS) piece is used by end-users who want to browse reports via the web. The CRS is just a central repository, analogous to a central storage box, which makes reports available over the web. Crystal Reports (CR) is simply the client that is used to report off your database. In this case, your 'database' is Quickbooks.
So in short, you will need to install Crystal Reports Pro for your user to make reports. And if the user needs to view report over the web, then you will need CRS as well. The user will create the report and save it to the CRS if he/she wants to view it over the web.
2) if I do have to, I'd rather use MSDE already installed but how should this be set up?
The question may need further clarification.
However, if you are using MSDE to write reports with (for CR), then you can use an ODBC connection to connect it. You can consult this external page as a guide: http://www.truthsolutions.com/sql/odbc/creating_a_new_odbc_dsn.htm. You will set the connection to your MSDE.
If you are asking about how to configure MSDE to be used as the CMS (Central Management Server) database for the CRS, then you will to consult our "BusinessObjects Enterprise Administration" forum. As a note, the CMS is just a backend security database that authenticate user(s) that sign into the CRS.
Your post is posted in the "Crystal Reports" forum.
3) what impact will this make on the SBS web server which we are already using for OWA and Remote Web Workplace?
If you are asking how CR would impact your web server, it should not have any effect. If you are inquiring about how CRS would affect them, you will also need to consult our "BusinessObjects Enterprise Administration" forum.

Crystal Reports Server 2008 Installation Error

Good day,
My name is Dominic Hung and I work at Business Objects. One of my clients is coming across an installation error on their evaluation of CRS 2008 and is detailed as follows:
They currently have the actual report writer (Crystal Reports 2008) on a desktop PC. It's not installed on the server.
We have the MySQL ODBC loaded on the local desktop as well as the server that is hosting CR2008 Server.
The credentials (userid/password) used in both the desktop and server's ODBC configuration is READ ONLY.
During the installation wizard for CR2008 Server, I key in the userid & password that I use when we create reports, but I receive an error stating that
CMS database error: STU000226
BusinessObjects Enterprise CMS: Unable to connect to the CMS system database "esc:10.127.214.22:3306". Reason: Database access error. Reason access denied for user 'jdcherry'@'% to database 'esc'
This is where everything stops and they can't go further. They are not sure why they are receiving the "access denied" error as shown above. They have no problem connecting to the MySQL database when they create a report using CR2008, the CR2008 SERVER won't accept my credentials during the installation.
QUESTIONS:
The "jdcherry" UserID (which I use) is READ ONLY on the MySQL database that's hosted on the Linux box. Does the userID have to have higher priviledges than just READ ONLY in order to validate the database credentials?
If so, what level of access is required?
Does the installation of CR Server update any of the tables that are stored on the MySQL database?
Do we need to install the Crystal Reports 2008 on the server in order for Crystal Reports 2008 SERVER to work?
What other workarounds can be done for the client? The windows server they have Crystal Reports Server 2008 installed on has web services enabled but are continuing to come across issues. Any insight for the client would be greatly appreciated.

Does the userID have to have higher priviledges than just READ ONLY in order to validate the database credentials?
The userID used when installing CRS must have dba previleges (create/drop tables) on the schema.
Does the installation of CR Server update any of the tables that are stored on the MySQL database?
You should create a new schema/DSN for the CMS db. The installation of CRS creates 8 new tables.
Do we need to install the Crystal Reports 2008 on the server in order for Crystal Reports 2008 SERVER to work?
No
All this information is in the BOE XI3.0 Installation Guide.
