Run crystal report 2008 with cmc event

it is possible to run the report only when i have some new record in a table ?
or a new file in the disk ?
i created one event in cmc but when i tried to schedule i don't have the option "with events"
any help ?
Thanks
Ricardo

Events can be based on a new file, and reports can be scheduled to wait for the event. However, you do need to use the "with events" scheduling option in order to do so. I don't know why you would not have that option (unless, maybe, if the event that you defined wasn't saved - i.e. no events - and/or you don't have an event server running).
One thing on events, though, is that they work in conjunction with the scheduled time of the report. The report has to pass the schedule time, THEN the event has to be triggered before the report will run. Once triggered, a new or recurring schedule must evoke the report again before it will start watching for the event. So, in other words, I don't believe that you can have a report triggered solely by an event.

Crystal Reports 2008 with BO Enterprise XI 3.1

Hi All,
We are in the process of implementing CR2008 with BO Enterprise XI 3.1.
We have completed the installation successfully. We can connect from CR2008 client desktop directly to BI-7 using the BO SAP Connector. But We have the following issues,
1) On CMC (OB Ent Server) we don't see any business object related roles in the list of values under the authorization. We see 3 J2EE related roles only. We did everything according to the documentation. Changed JCO (sapjco.jar) along with the DLLs to various versions and even changed the 64bit to 32bit but no luck. Classpath is also set in Tomcat but still we don't see any of the BO related roles.
2) We have created a connection to universe using Designer (BO Ent). But when we try to connect from CR2008 to universe though the Business Object Enterprise Server using the client desktops, we can only select the fields for the query. But when we try to confirm the query we get a message saying NOT LOGGED ON.
Are we doing the right thing ? We have BI-7 installed on Windows 2003 (64 Bit Server) and BO Enterprise Server XI 3.1 and SAP Connector XI 3.1 Server was also installed on the same server. We have client desktops with Crystal Report 2008 with SAP Connector Client installed.
What are we missing ?
Appreciate if you could kindly help us to get this problem solved as this is dragging for a while now.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Thanks and Regards

When deleting running crystal report from BOE CMC, it leaves Oracle thread?

hi, Yesterday, we discovered an anomaly. From BOE's CMC, I deleted a running Crystal Report instance. I believed that this would "cancel" the running report. However, later, it produced a message. It apparently kept on running in Oracle until it finished.
My question: when I delete a job from BOE's CMC, what else must we do to cancel it from continuing in Oracle? Apparently, it continued to be a "thread" in Oracle.
What additional steps should I take or are there any setup steps? Thank you.
Our BOE version (copied from the CMC about screen) is: Product: 12.1.0 © 2008 Business Objects (or Product Version: 12.2.0.290).
Thank you,
Dean

I'd just been trying instructions in SAP note: 1407795 when this reply came through.... I can confirm this worked for me.
The error codes I found in the Windows Event viewer, both yesterday and today are listen below:
RCIRAS0240
RCIRAS0622
RCIRAS0567
RCIRAS0244
The issues that are described in this post and the ones I have seen first-hand when the screen hangs when viewing this report on-demand, or the report running for a longer than expected time when scheduled, are covered by the above error codes.
A known cause of the issues you are experiencing is that when these particular reports were created, a network printer was specified as the default printer, this printer may now either be unavailable, IP address may have changed, etc.
There do seem to be two options available:
Option 1 - Remove the printer driver dependency
Open this report in the Crystal Reports Designer.
Under the File menu, click on Page Setup.
Select the No Printer option.
Option 2 - Add or correct the printer that the report is designed with
Open the Report in the Crystal Reports Designer
Under the File menu, click on Page Setup
Make not of the printer that is listed in the Page Setup dialog
Log on to the BusinessObjects Enterprise Server that houses the Crystal Reports Processing Servers.
Make sure you log in as the user account that runs the Crystal Reports services. This is generally the account that runs the Service Intelligence Agent (SIA)
Go to Control Panel and click on Printers
Ensure that the same printer is configured on the server that is used in the Crystal Report
In the printer already exists, try removing it and re-adding it.

Issues in running crystal reports 2013 with SOQL as a datasource

Hi Experts,
We have some crystal reports created in CR 2008 with command as a data source and all the commands are written in SOQL pulling data from SFDC, now when I open and run those reports in crystal report designer 2013 it is giving below errors:
Failed to retrieve data from the database.
Details: 42S22:[Simba][SQLEngine] (31400) Qualified column could not be bound: c.Investor__r.Relationship_Formula__c. [Database Vendor Code: 31400 ]
Failed to retrieve data from the database.
Details: 42S22:[Simba][SQLEngine] (31400) Qualified column could not be bound: k.Account_Relationship__r.PE_Priority__c. [Database Vendor Code: 31400 ]
We are running crystal reports in both the version with system admin user who has access to all the objects in SFDC. It works well for CR 2008 but not for CR 2013, means relationship is not an issue.
We have done some analysis and found that if the field in query contains two periods (.) it is not recognising that field, if we remove that field from query, CR 2013 takes that as a valid statement.
Any help or suggestions on this issue would be a great help.
Regards,
Apoorv

Hi Apporv
Please check your database documentation for error 31400.

Compatability of Crystal Reports 2008 with BOE 11.5 - (.rpt output)

Hi -
I am planning an upgrade to Crystal Reports 2008 to take advantage of capabilities of Crystal Reports Viewer 2008 to modify parameters in reports (ex: posting reports to a shared drive for users to open and modify parameters).
In order to have this functionality in Crystal Reports Viewer (2008), I must create the report in Crystal Reports 2008. My question is: If I create the report in Crystal Reports 2008 and schedule the report to run on Business Objects XI.5, will the users be able to modify parameters in the report file output?
Thanks

Hello,
You need BOE XI 3.0 or later for full compatibility with Crystal Reports 2008. The parameters panel will not be displayed in any earlier version.
Also, some Crystal 2008 syntax is not supported in versions of BOE earlier than BOE XI 3.0. Use of such functions will result in report failures when run in older versions of BOE. For example the function hasvalue() is new to Crystal 2008 (checks for empty values in fields) and caused report failure in BOE XI R2 when published.

Run Crystal Reports in background on event from asp

How would I run a Crystal Report file in the background after an onClick event from an ASP web page?
Are there any code samples of how this can be configured?
I have Crystal Reports Server 2008 and Crystal Reports 2008.

See if the solution in [this|Re: CR2010 Production Release; thread will help.

How to integrate Crystal Report 2008 with java

Currently we are using Crystal Report XI with our application, it is working fine. Now we are updating to Crystal Report 2008.
We have build our application in enterprise archive file. There is a web archive file(.war) file in the EAR file which contains the crystal report. Inside the .war file we have reports folder which contain jsps and rpt folder. the jsps folder contains the crystalreportviewers12 folder and .jsp files. The rpt folder contain the.rpt files. The WEB-INF which is at the reports folder leavel contains the classes and lib folder. The crystal report jars are in the lib folder and the CRConfig.xml file inside the classes folder. I replaced all the crystal report jar with Crystal Report 2008 jars, modified the web.xml and the CRConfig.xml file accordingly. When I opened the report it gave me an error.
When the following line was execuated in the jsp:
reportClientDocument.open(report, 0);
it gave me following error:

Hello Ted,
As per the samples in the link provided by you I identified that the following statement was missing.
reportClientDocument.setReportAppServer(ReportClientDocument.inprocConnectionString);
After adding this statement the jsp was not able to compile, it gave me an error:
ReportClientDocument.inprocConnectionString cannot be resolved
Now my queries are:
1. What is Report Application server(RAS)?
2. Is it required to set Report application server in JSP page? It was not required in Crystal Reports XI. If YES, then how to configure RAS inside our applications WAR file?
3. I am using WebSphere Application Server for deploying the WEB Archive file (WAR file). The Crystal Reports 2008 library (JARS) are embedded inside the WEB-INF/lib folder. How to specify the RAS server inside thhe WAR file? Is it some XML configuration file which we have to keep at WEB-INF level? Or we have to modify the existing CRConfig.xml file?
4. I would like to mention here that we have bundled crystalreportviewers12/ folder in our WAR file at the same level where reports JSP pages exits.
Thanks in advance.

Server error in printing in server using crystal report 2008 with VS2008

Hi,
We are using Crystal report 2008 in VS 2008. Everything working fine in local but when we deployed it in the server we are getting the below while print the report.
"An error occurred on the server. Printing will be stopped. Would you like to view the error information"
Anyhow the report is printing but I don't know why this error is occur and how to stop this. I had installed the CR runtime in the server. I dont know what is going wrong. The same we tested locally in a non crystal report installed PC.
Please help me to get rid out of this error.
Thanks
Natraj

Soemthing strange going on here.
Typically this Integrated vs Classic is an issue with images where Classic uses web.config tags between <system.web><httpHandlers><u2026 crystalimagehandler../></httphandlers></system.web>
Integrated uses tags between <system.webserver>u2026<handlers><..crystalimagehandler/></handlers></system.webserver>
Not sure why this would affect printing. Do you have tags that specifying where to download the printcontrol from? On the other hand, I would think that if images had anything to do with it, then you'd get red Xs when viewing. As far as I know, the printcontrol.cab doesnu2019t need to be specified in the <system.webserver> tags.
This one may be best resolved over the phone. Phone support can be obtained here:

Problem using Crystal Reports 2008 with DB/C FS ODBC Datasource.

HI,
I'm trying to use Crystal Reports 2008 to connect to an ODBC datasource that using the DB/C FS driver from dbcsoftware (www.dbcsoftware.com). When I connect to the source and add a table it shows all string fields as 255 characters long when that is not the case in the data definition for the driver.
This issue has been brought up and resolved in previous versions of Crystal Reports. In Crystal Reports XI it was ADAPT ticket 00307997. It's worth noting that even though this issue says it was resolved in version XI with service pack 4 I still experience it in that version of CR as well.
If anyone has a solution to this for Crystal Reports 2008 please share.
Thank you,
David Guthu

Hi David,
Looking over the Adapt it was fixed in CR XI R2 Service Pack 4. CR XI is not the same so not sure if this is a typo or not.
I don't see a branch for CR 2008 so I'll create one for you but this may be a different issue. The adapt was for all fields coming back as 65K and not 255. Also this was tracked in 2004 and fixes created for all versions of Cr at the time. These fixes get rolled forward so I'm thinking FS changed their driver with their latest build or at some earlier build.
Note from Developer:
DBCFS ODBC driver return meta data (e.g. column type) as SQL_DOUBLE instead of SQL_NUMERIC.
ODBC bind as SQL_DOUBLE or SQL_NUMERIC but always retrieve data (in this case column type) as SQL_NUMERIC.
Have you contacted FS to see if they have any patches or updates available? Are they following ANSII 92 Standards?
To build a business case for this issue can you purchase a single support case, once it's been resolved you can get a refund, the reason being it adds more weight to the issue and we can escalate it at a higher level. Otherwise it goes in as a low priority issue and no fix date set.
Also, we can then pass files back and forth etc. which we can not do through forums.
Can you turn on ODBC tracing? I would like to see what the trace file shows.
Thank you
Don

Crystal Reports 2008 with Database / Universes (BOE 3.1 SP2) Questions

Hello
I have a few questions related to options that i can use when i connect to a database like sql server or oracle and i cannot use these options when i connect the report from a universe.
1) When building a Crystal report that connects to the database through a universe i cant change the option Optional Prompt from False to True this option is disabled. This does not happen when the report is constructed by connecting directly to the database, this functionality is useful when you have multiple parameters in one report.
2) For cases of reports with multiple parameters (where you can choose more of a list available), under the scenario of the bd direct connection is possible to configure the Crystal Available Values list shows dimensions that have at least some value in Fact Table, through the choice of parameter settings, where you can indicate where you take the value and description separately.Under the scenario universe connection these options are disabled because they are based on the query of the universe, there is an alternative perhaps from the universe to achieve this behavior in Crystal?
Thanks

In order to create a running total you need to have absolute clarity on the following:
(i)Whether the running total be set on change of field/record/group.
(ii)Whether the running total be set on change of record/group OR never.
Make the appropriate choice.
Apply this to the field to summarize and type of summary in Running Total Pane.
Thanks,
Amogh.

Crystal Report 2008 with ClearQuest 7.1, parameter drop down list

Hi all,
I am creating the reports using CR 2008 and uploading their design into CQ 7.1.
The issue I have has to do with the dynamic cascading parameters of the report.
When designing everything is working fine. I am able to choose my first param, the project and based on the chosen project, the second param shows related reviews.
The problem is when i upload the design into CQ, the parameter drop down list is not there and instead there is a free form text field.
How do I resolve this issue, any ideas?
Thanks

Hello,
I believe that version of CQ uses the CR RDC ( craxdrt.dll ) to run reports. That engine is legacy and it never supported cascading Parameters.
Talk to CQ on upgrading to the latest .NET report engines. I believe they are working on an updated version.
Only option is to not use cascading parameters until you upgrade.
Thank you
Don

Problems with consuming SAP BW WSDL in Crystal Reports 2008

Hello,
I am trying to use the WSDL generated from the SAP BW in Crystal Reports 2008 using the XML and Web Services driver, but when I input the WSDL url Crystal does not interpret the url passed in as a WSDL url and the Services, Port and Method drop downs are blank.
If I manually input the values I get the error below from Crystal
"Logon failed.
Details: Web Service Location is invalid
WSDL Exception (at /wsdl:definitions/wsdl:portType/wsp:Policy): faultCode=INVALID_WSDL:Encountered unexpected element
'Policy'."
I know this is a valid WSDL as I have tested it with Xcelsius 2008 and I am able to get data back in Xcelsius. I found SAP note 1485601 that talks about Crystal Reports not being able to reading a WSDL generated by a SAP system.
           https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap/support/notes/1485601
Based on the error message from Crystal above I feel that Crystal is unable to read the WSDL URL, has anyone else encountered this issue, if so is there a possible work around.
We are running Crystal Reports 2008 V1 SP3 FP 3 and the SAP Integration Kit is also on the same service pack and patch level.
Any help or insight into the issue will be very helpful.
Thanks,
Kumar

Ingo,
I am using the "XML and Web Services" connection option in Crystal Reports, and using a HTTP WSDL.Here is a sample of how WSDL url generated by SAP BW.
http://servername:8000/sap/bc/srt/wsdl/bndg_DF6E553E117931F19C6B001560A1B616/wsdl11/allinone/ws_policy/document?sap-client=100
We have a two structure BW query (one for keyfigures and one as characteristic structure ), I know that this will cause the structure for the characteristics to show up as a single field and each element of the structure will result in a row of data, but we need the individual elements on the structure and we were hoping to get around the MDX driver limitation by using the web service connection.
The data in the Crystal Reports 2008 needs to be in a crosstab layout as shown below, but if we use the Crosstab expert the key figures are stacked one under the other and also we cannot get the labels from the KPI structure to show up on the Crystal Reports.
               Characteristic Structure
             Column1            Column2                     Column3
Label 1          KeyFigure 1          KeyFigure 2                    KeyFigure 3
Label 2          KeyFigure 1          KeyFigure 2                KeyFigure 3
Label 3          KeyFigure 1          KeyFigure 2                    KeyFigure 3
This layout is already built in a Web Template and therefore we were planning on using the WSDL to get the layout directly into Crystal report, but I keep running into the WSDL error when I try to consume the WSDL in Crystal.
Thanks,
Kumar

Cyrstal Report Server Version Compatible With What Crystal Reports 2008 Ver

I am currently running Crystal Report Server Version 12.1.0.882 . I am having issues getting my reports to run on the reporting server. I need to install Crystal Reports on the same machine so that I can test the connection to the database that we are reporting on. The Crystal Report 2008 version I have is 12.2.0.290 but it is incompatible with the current Server version so they can not both run on the same machine.
What version of the Crystal Reporting Server matches up with the latest version of Crystal Report 2008 12.2.0.290?

If you want to run Crystal Reports created with Crystal Reports 2008 designer (I believe you are using SP2) you need to have Crystal Reports Server 2008.
Hope this helps...

Crystal Reports 2008-Vista-ERROR-crw32.exe Entry Point Not Found in dll

Hi Experts,
I just installed the Crystal Reports 2008 (with SP0) on my Vista (Home) machine. When I try to start the CR 2008, I am getting the below error message:
Error Title: crw32.exe - Entry Point Not Found
Error Message: The procedure entry point ?PrintLegend@CMapXLegend@CSLib300@@QAEXJJJJJ@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library cslibu-3-0.dll
Here are the things I tried to resolve the above problem:
1) Uninstall and Reinstall the CR 2008. - No change.
2) I configured the DEP to accept Crystal Reports (Performance - Advanced - DEP allow).
None of these seem fix the problem.
Can you please help me kick start the Crystal Reports 2008?
Thanks,
Arun

Please try with this:
Run a command prompt as administrator. From the start menu, select "All Programs", then "Accessories" and right-click on the "Command Prompt" shortcut and choose "Run As Administrator". From here you can use the following command to disable Data Execution Prevention (DEP) with the following command:
bcdedit.exe /set nx AlwaysOff
Keeping your command prompt open, run your setup or other process being stopped by DEP. Then, to turn it back on again, do the same and run the following:
bcdedit.exe /set nx AlwaysOn

Shweta
