Running Crystal report( with subreport) from VB6 using CRAXDRT.Report

The application (vb5 with CRAXDRT.Report version 11.5) works for more than 50 different reports.
This special report has a subreport with 5 Link elements.
Report works fine with Crystal XI. But when gets fired from vb6 application, after 2 or 3 times
(sometimes at the first time), application crashes with following error message pops up:
vb6.exe-Application Error.
Instruction at 0x0000000 referenced memory could not be "read"
The link elements of subreports are:
(MSP for Main report's stored proc, SSP for Subreport's stored proc)
MSP . @Prior -> SSP.@Prior
MSP . @managerID -> SSP.@managerID
MSP . @showall -> SSP.@showall
MSP . officeid-> SSP.@officeid
MSP . manager -> SSP.manager (items with @ sign are Parameters)
If I delete the last link element this error never happens !
Any clue ?

For starters, get the latest Service Pack for CR XI r2 from here:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100013876392008E/crxir2win_sp5.exe
Make sure you also have the latest SP for VB 6.

CA Forum: General
Hi, everybody, I have problems to see the information from subreports, I dont know what to do.
I have reports with 2 or more subreports inside it, I link the subreports with report, but when I try to see it from vb6 application
It asks me for the parameter value of the parameter created when I linked them, I dont want to it asks me for values, but this is only 1 problem, when I type values, I get next message "the field name is not know",
If I dont link anything when i run vb application I can see all (headers, titles, etc) but no the information retrieved from query, but from crystal reports all is fine in both cases(linked and not linked) I can see the reports and subreports with entire information
I need help, How can I do to see complete information in my reports, how to pass the values to subreports and it doesnt ask me for it.
In advance , thanks

I usually link my subreports whenever possible, back to the main report so that the main report passes the appropriate parameters and I only have to deal with the main report. Can be done in the designer on the Edit menu.

Changing database server on a report with subreports = formula error

Good morning,
I currently have several reports that print out, and were developed attached to our development database. However, I need to be able to dynamically change the server that the report uses according to the server configured in our application. Each of these reports contains one or more subreports, which point to the same server and database as the main report. All reports, both the main and subreports, are based on manual SQL commands.
I'm running into some significant issues. So significant, in fact, that we were forced to deploy our application with reports that had been switched to our production environment in the designer in order to get them functional. This is, obviously, not an acceptable or long-term solution.
I've gone round and round a couple of times I get different results with different methods of changing this information. I'll outline them below. First, my current code:
ConnectionInfo connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
                TableLogOnInfo logOnInfo = new TableLogOnInfo();
                Console.WriteLine("Report \"{0}\"", report.Name);
                foreach (Table table in report.Database.Tables)
                    logOnInfo = table.LogOnInfo;
                    connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo(logOnInfo.ConnectionInfo);
                    connectionInfo.ServerName = "panthers-dev";
                    connectionInfo.DatabaseName = "Prosys";
                    logOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo;
                    //table.Location = "Prosys.dbo." + table.Location.Substring(table.Location.LastIndexOf(".") + 1);
                    table.ApplyLogOnInfo(logOnInfo);
                    table.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo;
                    Console.WriteLine("\t\"{0}\": \"{1}\", \"{2}\", \"{3}\", {4}", table.Name, table.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.ServerName, table.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.DatabaseName, table.Location, table.TestConnectivity());
                foreach (Section section in report.ReportDefinition.Sections)
                    foreach (ReportObject ro in section.ReportObjects)
                        if (ro.Kind == ReportObjectKind.SubreportObject)
                            SubreportObject sro = (SubreportObject)ro;
                            ReportDocument subreport = report.OpenSubreport(sro.SubreportName);
                            Console.WriteLine("\tSubreport \"{0}\"", subreport.Name);
                            foreach (Table table in subreport.Database.Tables)
                                logOnInfo = table.LogOnInfo;
                                connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo(logOnInfo.ConnectionInfo);
                                connectionInfo.ServerName = "panthers-dev";
                                connectionInfo.DatabaseName = "Prosys";
                                logOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo;
                                //table.Location = "Prosys.dbo." + table.Location.Substring(table.Location.LastIndexOf(".") + 1);
                                table.ApplyLogOnInfo(logOnInfo);
                                table.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo;
                                Console.WriteLine("\t\t\"{0}\": \"{1}\", \"{2}\", \"{3}\", {4}", table.Name, table.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.ServerName, table.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.DatabaseName, table.Location, table.TestConnectivity());
Using this approach, my console output prints what I expect and want to see: the correct server and database information, and True for TestConnectivity for all reports and subreports. The two reports I have that have no subreports print out correctly, with data from the proper server. However, all of the reports with subreports fail with formula errors. If this procedure is not run, they work just fine on either server.
I had to place the assignment of table.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo after the call to ApplyLogOnInfo, as that function did not behave as expected. If I perform the assignment first (or not at all), then calling ApplyLogOnInfo on the outer report's table did NOT affect the values of its ConnectionInfo object, but it DID affect the values of the ConnectionInfo object's of its subreports!
In any event, if anyone could post a code sample of changing database connection information on a report containing subreports, I would appreciate it.
Any help is greatly appreciated and anxiously awaited!

Hi Adam,
Code for changing database connection information on a report containing subreports :
private ReportDocument northwindCustomersReport;
    private void ConfigureCrystalReports()
        northwindCustomersReport = new ReportDocument();
        string reportPath = Server.MapPath("NorthwindCustomers.rpt");
        northwindCustomersReport.Load(reportPath);
        ConnectionInfo connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
        connectionInfo.ServerName = "localhost";
        connectionInfo.DatabaseName = "Northwind";
        connectionInfo.IntegratedSecurity = false;
        SetDBLogonForReport(connectionInfo, northwindCustomersReport);
        SetDBLogonForSubreports(connectionInfo, northwindCustomersReport);
        crystalReportViewer.ReportSource = northwindCustomersReport;
    private void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
        ConfigureCrystalReports();
    private void SetDBLogonForReport(ConnectionInfo connectionInfo, ReportDocument reportDocument)
        Tables tables = reportDocument.Database.Tables;
        foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table table in tables)
            TableLogOnInfo tableLogonInfo = table.LogOnInfo;
            tableLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo;
            table.ApplyLogOnInfo(tableLogonInfo);
    private void SetDBLogonForSubreports(ConnectionInfo connectionInfo, ReportDocument reportDocument)
        Sections sections = reportDocument.ReportDefinition.Sections;
        foreach (Section section in sections)
            ReportObjects reportObjects = section.ReportObjects;
            foreach (ReportObject reportObject in reportObjects)
                if (reportObject.Kind == ReportObjectKind.SubreportObject)
                    SubreportObject subreportObject = (SubreportObject)reportObject;
                    ReportDocument subReportDocument = subreportObject.OpenSubreport(subreportObject.SubreportName);
                    SetDBLogonForReport(connectionInfo, subReportDocument);
Hope this helps!!

Generate report with data from database package

Hi
Is it possible to generate a report where the values come from an oracle database package instead of from an sql query declared in the report itself?
If yes, how is it done?
Appreciate any help. Thx.

Hi,
You can use REF CURSORs to generate reports from a database package.
For information about REF CURSORs, please see Chapter 40 'Building a Paper Report with REF CURSORs' of the Oracle Reports Building Reports manual.

Crystal Report with subreports breaks when running on different databases.

HI there
I have a report with 5 subreports on that only works on the database I am designing it on. As soon as I run the report through my application on a database different to the one I design on, it seems to have lost all the parameter fields I created in one of the subreports (the one I have just added, the other 4 work fine) used to link to the main report.
It then pops up with the Parameter Value box and asks for values for 2 parameters that I do not use to link to the subreport, nor have added to the subreport in design time, and in code when I step through the parameterfields list property, the parameters I added in design time to the subreport are not in the list but somehow these 2 parameter fields have been added to the subreport? These 2 parameters have the same names as some main report parameters which have been set already, but as mentioned these somehow now belong to the subreport.
When I run the report through my app on the database I design on all parameters are present and the report works fine.
The parameters in the subreport are all command parameters, linking to a command field, a formula field and another non-command parameter in the main report. All these are set and work fine in the main report.
I set all the parameter values in code to the main report, and the subreports all use those to link to.
I am using CR v10.2 with VB2008 using .NET 2.0 framework (although I had similar problems in VB2005), where the report links directly to a SQL databse via commands. There are 4 commands in the main report and one in the problematic subreport. The subreports command incudes a SQL "IF" statement based on one of the parameters I am linking from the main report.
Please let me know if more info is required.
Thanks.

Hello, Eugen;
I understand you are using Visual Studio .NET 2008 with bundled Crystal Reports Basic for 2008 (10.5). Do you have a full version of Crystal Reports you use to design reports with or are you designing inside Visual Studio .NET?
I would like to suggest some ways to test and narrow down the issue.
One subreport appears to be changing the parameters used when the underlying database changes. Is there a change in the Command it is based on?
Create a simple report using the same command and the same database as is used in the problem subreport. Run it to confirm you get the same data as in the original.
Now in design, go into Database|Set Datasource location and change to the new datasource. Do a Database|Verify database. Do you see the change in parameter fields you are seeing at runtime? Has the Command changed? Does it run through the application?
If you see the same change there, it will have to be addressed in the designer first. If it runs well there, let us look further at the application.
What is the order of your code?
   Open main report
   Logon to database
   Pass parameters
   Open each subreport
   Logon to the database
   Pass parameters
   View the report.
Do you set all database locations before passing parameters?
Were any of the parameters created as "NULL" in the designer?
Once I have the answers to these questions we can look a little further.

Login error with report viewer when opening Crystal report with subreport

Hi
I have a problem with a login error (database vendor code 18456) when I try to open a crystal report to view it.
The report uses data from an external payroll database but I'm running it via our Accounts system (it's a convenient front end for users to run the report from). This works fine for another report that doesn't have any subreports. However when I run the Crystal report that has subreports, the report generation process works but when the crystal reports viewer tries to open the report I get the login error. It doesn't seem to be passing the login details for the payroll database down to the subreport.
I'm using Crystal Reports version 11.0.0.1282. The Accounts system is Technology One. Tech One have provided a report template that has several formulas designed to allow Tech One to play nicely with Crystal. One of these formulas allows me to enter the nickname of the external database that the report needs to use. The external database's connection details are fully specified in the Tech One configuration section (server console). So in this case the report says use database U1 & the server console identifies U1 as being the payroll database, specifies the connection path & has the username & password required to logon to the payroll database/server.
The report is running ok & retrieving data, but for some reason the viewer is erroring. If anyone has any ideas for how I can get the login details used to run the main report to flow through to the subreport it would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Sue

I understand your frustration. We can do a few things. But really, it should be Technology One contacting us. To use an analogy (which you are free to share with Technology One). They built a car and sealed the hood. You bought the car, but he engine does not quite run as it should. You bring the car to the mechanic and all he can do is look at the car as he can not even open the hood.
In any case, here is what I would do if I could open the hood (e.g.; if I was dealing with Technology One):
1) Look up database vendor code 18456. This is simply the error our print engine is receiving from the database client and it simply passes it through relatively unhandled. This you should be able to do your self or ask Technology One to tell you what that means.
2) Break out the subreport and see if it runs on it's own in the application (if this is a permissions issue - which I doubt - it should come up here too). Unfortunately, this is for Technology One to do...
3) Run the report (with the subreport) in the CR designer. Does it work there? If this is a win app and it works, we again eliminated permission issues. And we also confirmed that the report is good. Again, Technology One should do this for you.
BTW.; CR 11.0 is out of support - not sure if you or Technology One are aware of this...
4) Can the developer duplicate the issue on his development computer?
Now, there are couple of instances where you say something like; "the report works and gets data, but the viewer errors out":
+The report is running ok & retrieving data, but for some reason the viewer is erroring.
However when I run the Crystal report that has subreports, the report generation process works but when the crystal reports viewer tries to open the report I get the login error. +
How do you know the report is retrieving data? From the error I would say the report never connects, thus the error / request for a logon...
So, the short of all of this is; get Technology One to contact us. They can do it over the forums or obtain a phone case here;
http://store.businessobjects.com/store/bobjamer/en_US/pd/productID.98078100
Now, here is a warning. As CR 11.0 is out of support Technology One will have to upgrade to CR 11.5, before that can create a phone case, which for them and you brings up another bunch of issues...
If you do not get any joy from the support person at you are talking to at Technology One, get him to escalate the issue. They are the ones that should be talking to us...

Originally the stored procedure had the last parameter as an integer. I tried everything with the formulas, CDBL(1.00) ToNumber(1.00) 1.00 1 hoping it just wasn't recognizing that the value needed to be a number but nothing worked. I changed the stored procedure to require a VARCHAR for the last parameter, updated the report and it worked for me.

Report with Subreport very slow from SharePoint

HI,
I have a report with a sub-report that runs in about 9 seconds from my PC using the Report Designer with SQL Server 2008R2.
When I run the deployed report from SharePoint it takes 4 minutes. If I remove the sub-report it again runs fine from SharePoint.
The sub-report is pretty simple and links to the main report using 3 parameters.
What would cause this?
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Publishing Crystal Report with subreport in BOE

Where can I find specific step-by-step instructions on how to publish a Crystal Report in BOE that contains an on-demand subreport that contains links (passed parameters) to the main report? I havepublished the 'main' report and the subreport in the CMC and have run the main report in Infoview. But I can find no instructions on how to link the subreport to the main report at run time. The user should be able to click on a summary field that will in turn run the subreport that generates details about the specific summary he clicked on.
Thanks very much for your help,
Holly

Alright, so you wish to click on the summary field and open a Detail report that should be an on-demand sub-report that is linked with some other field in the Main report?
You can insert the sub-report and place it on the section where you want it to be in. Link the Main report to the subreport on a field and then right-click the subreport > select Format subreport > Check On-demand Subreport > Click the formula button beside On-demand subreport caption and type the name of the summary field in the formula.
This will make sure, the sumary field value is printed as the caption and it appears as a hyperlink.

Report with Subreport - Summary Table On First or Last Page

Post Author: andbort
CA Forum: General
All-
My apologies in advance for the long post. I would like to know if something can be done in a single report instead of having to spread it across two reports. I will use generic (Xtreme sample database) field names to explain my dilemma. I currently have the following report:
Main Report
Customer ID, Customer Name
Subreport
Order ID, Order Amount, Customer ID
Each Customer and its associated subreport are displayed on a separate page. So it looks like this:
(first page)
1 City Cyclists
100    $200    1
101    $5000 1
102    $350    1
(second page)
2 Pathfinders
103    $760    2
104    $20      2
(third page)
3 Bike-A-Holics Anonymous
105    $120    3
106    $270    3
107    $400    3
And so on. This report often has numerous customers (i.e. ~10 or more customers, thus ~10 or more pages). The business users would like to have a "summary" page at the beginning of the report. This summary page would be in basic tabular format, with one row per customer, but each row would contain values from the subreport. So the updated report would look like this:
(first page)
Customer ID       Customer Name                        Most Recent Order Amount
1                       City Cyclists                             $350
2                        Pathfinders                              $20
3                        Bike-A-Holics Anonymous        $400
(second page)
1 City Cyclists
100    $200    1
101    $5000 1
102    $350    1
(third page)
2 Pathfinders
103    $760    2
104    $20      2
(fourth page)
3 Bike-A-Holics Anonymous
105    $120    3
106    $270    3
107    $400    3
Is this possible in Crystal Reports 10?
Additional Background: The application in question is ASP.Net 1.1 (Visual Studio 2003) which displays reports designed in Crystal Reports 10. The actual report displays customer records in the detail section Da. There are 5 subreports, one in each section Da, Db, Dc, Dd, and De. The summary page could be rendered either at the beginning of the report (e.g. report header) or at the end (e.g. report footer), but will ultimately need to contain Customer table field values, as well as field values from two of the five subreports. I am hoping that this requirement can be addressed in a single report, instead of having to spread it across two reports (each displayed in its own CrystaReportViewer control on the web page). I am assuming that a solution to the generic example above will be applicable to my specific report.
Thanks,

Hi,
If I understand you correctly, you could simply use a crosstab at the begginning of your report to summarize all customers. If you put it alone in its section you'll be able to specify that you want a page break after.
The remaining of the report should be a simple report where you group on your customer and the detail line showing a sale.
finally, if I was wrong above and you still need subreports, you can use a shared variable (or a parameter) to allow the main report to receive the total from the subreport.
Good luck!

Reports with wrong Server details (using ODBC name instead of server name)

Post Author: jomuir
CA Forum: Administration
When I save a report either in Crystal Reports 11 (File save as, Enterprise u2013 Central Management Server) or Central Manager Console, Objects New Object I get an error.
On looking at the database all reports I am adding or saving are automatically taking the wrong server details, and it is a greyed out field, so I cannot edit it. I presumed it is getting this information from my ODBC settings, but appears to be using the ODBC name/description as the server name (The Database and usernames are correct). This is happening on every report!
Any ideas what I am doing wrong? How I can save or add new reports with the correct details?
Not sure if this will help, but the error message is:- Failed to open the connection. D:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11.5\Data\procSched\wdcsql1.reportjobserver\~tmp117852b044ee296.rpt

No, Crystal Reports in not installed on the server, and the ODBC settings are not setup on the server. However I did add the correct ODBC settings on the server but this has made no difference.
So do I need to setup all the ODBC settings in advance of anyone saving a report (I will need to try and find obtain them all)?
Should the server also have a version of Crystal Reports on it?
One report is working but it was added by the guy that installed it, and this report is using the same database as all the reports that I have added, and should be the same ODBC settings.
The server (server username) does not have access to the original location of the reports, so it cannot run the reports - however when I save them to the server via enterprise or the import tool, does a version of the report get saved on the server? If so can you point me in the direction of them, so I can try and run them via the server?

- Runtime files on customers pc installed by .msi created from merge modules for Crystal Reports XI RDC Deployments (latest available SP4 for CR XI R1: [crxi_rdc_merge_modules.zip|http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/communityCS/FilesAndUpdates/crXI_rdc_merge_modules.zip], as listed on [this|http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/additional_downloads/runtime.asp] page)
- target OS: WindowsXP SP3, all updates are installed
- i'm using COM crviewer, but there are some points in application where report is opened using CRPE api - it is also crashing on reports with custom functions from COM DLL
- UFL DLL is registered and loaded correctly (investigated by debug output), looks like crash occured during attemt to call function
- just for test I tried to install CR Developer on customers PC: it successfully opens all "problem" reports, but the viewer in application still crashing ...
I would appreciate any tips / suggestions. Please also let me know if I need to specify versions of other products / components.
Thx,
Andrew

Sorry, but you have to define "viewer just crashed". To different people this means different things; error, viewer never shows up, application terminates, etc., etc., etc....
If the issue is only 10% of computers then it is not
Re. "...could be caused by:"
- previous installation of CR8.5 (or earlier) runtime (how to cleanup it correctly?)
possibly - see below
- OS configuration (what we need to ajust?)
probably not - as long as it's the same OS and SPs
- something missing in our code (but why it works in 90% cases?)
-no
- something wrong with CRXI runtime (but we a using latest available MSMs, and again, this works in 90% ...)
possibly see below.
I would approach the issue by running [Modules|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006252802008E/modules.zip] and comparing the dlls loading on a computer that works and one that "crashes"...
Your second utility is [Process Monitor|http://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx] but ProcMon creates large and difficult to read files.
Oh, and get the powers that be to start to consider moving away from this legacy "stuff". Like I said, PE APIs have been gone since version 9 of CR and RDC has been retired in CR XI R2 (11.5). Neither product is supported anymore.
