Please let me know where to find the Xtreme Mountain Bike sample database for Crystal Reports 2013. I have search everywhere I can think of without success. The sample database was not included in the trial-version download. Thanks very much, SRS

And a few more sample reports are here:

  • Switch database in Crystal Report 2013

    Hi All,
    I have Crystal Report 2013 and my client require to connect multiple database with single report. I have more than 10 MySql database and all database structure are same.
    E.g. Create one report Employee Detail and connect using ODBC (RDO) I have successfully connected my single MySql database. Now I need to use this report for another database.
    My question is how to switch database at runtime?
    Anybody help me please.
    Thanks.

    You can create either a .NET or a Java app to schedule or view the report - it would connect in to the CMS and handle things from there.  It's not difficult to set the database connection in code.  Your best bet for additional help will be to look here:  http://scn.sap.com/community/bi-platform/microsoft-net-sdk or here:http://scn.sap.com/community/bi-platform/java-sdk.  There is sample code available in both places as well.
    Also, while I know that the utility Ido is referring to  will work with Crystal reports, I'm not entirely sure it will work with reports that reside in CRS.  So, you'll need to review it closely to determine whether it will work for you.

  • Patch for crystal reports 2013 takes 3 hours?

    I am deploying crystal reports server 2013 sp2. I started patch 1, three hours ago.
    I is still executing. Is this normal? Server has 8 gig ram.

    When I say locally stored data, I meant did you copy the install file to the virtual machine (did you execute the install from for example c:\temp\) ?
    Typically the patch should take approx the same time as the full install ,sometimes a bit more since it's replacing a lot of files and backing up the old files, so if the virus scanner is running it might impact that. You can check on the CPU usage and see if the virus scanner is working hard.
    How much disk space do you have available on your server. The patch can take a lot longer if your server is low on disk space.
    Is there anything else running on the server at the same time?
    Is the VMWare host busy at this time so your BO virtual server doesn't have all the resources as it should.
    What disk system do the VM Server use? if other VM servers are impacting the storage system then it might also impact your BO server.
    There are a lot of factors in play and it is hard to say exactly what could be the cause. I've seen this before and typically it is just the virus scanner impacting it.
    Cheers

  • Production registration for Crystal report 2013

    Dear SAP,
    I just got a copy of CR2013, i would like to make online registration, your manual link is not work. I also search around sap or crystal report site, also not found the place for registration. Funny.
    Could you give me the registration link directly? Thank you.

    Dear Shahnawaz,
    Thank you very much, are you SAP support staff?
    On the registration page, it haven't  option for version 2013.  And other funny point.  Do you know what can i do? Thanks.

  • Process Extentions for Crystal Reports 2013

    The administrator guide says there is an API document that explains how to use and develop processing extentions.  This is suppose to be a method to row restrict Crystal Reports documents.  Can anyone point me to the API document on how to build a process extension and then how to build a crystal report to leverage that extension (is it as simple as referencing a parameter)?  If anyone has any information on this works I would appreciate just general information too.
    thanks,
    Bob

    Thanks Dell and Ludek!
    I was able to also stumble upon the same documentation as you guys have shared and agree with your assessment that there is lack of various details.
    At my current company, we are using a processing extension that has been carried over from a long time ago and it is a C++ based DLL. I should've been more elaborate with my question in the earlier post but what I am looking for is as as following: (We are going through an upgrade form 3.1 to 4.1)
    Is Crystal Reports Processing Extension API still supported in 4.1?
    Is there an alternative to this API with 4.1?
    Based on the Dell's response (and Bob's original post), since this API is still part of the 4.1 SDK documentation I would tend to think it is still supported. Even further, I was able to look in 4.1 CMC and Extensions registration menus are still available. During our report conversion from 3.1 to 4.1 (using the Upgrade Manager Tool), our reports kept their references to the DLL. Only thing we need to do is to load the DLL in 4.1 environment using CMC which is fairly straight forward.
    However, I am more interested in finding out if SAP has a recommendation on alternatives? In our case we are using this extension for following: (likely suitable for its own post)
    When creating a recurring Schedule our Crystal Reports has a Time frame parameter. Values for this parameter are "Last 7 days, Last 10 day, Last 30 days, Last Quarter....". This parameter then gets mapped to two BW query parameters (start and end dates). Every week when a schedule executes the report, we intercept the request and check the Time frame parameter value, calculate the start and end dates and set those values in report. So the processing extension is to intercept the request and to set the report parameters based on the original parameter. Our current solution is working and it seems we can carry it over with us to 4.1.
    Another requirement of Row Level Security has come up. Processing API documentation suggests Processing Extensions as one potential solution for this. So before investing time further into API, I wanted to make sure that the Processing Extension is the only way to plug in custom processing into a Crystal Reports.
    Best regards,

  • Large Sample Files for Crystal Reports

    Hi, I have an issue where trying to view large Crystal Reports files causes the Web Viewer to crash.  Does anyone know where I can find a sample Crystal Reports file larger than 20MB that I can use to recreate this problem?  Thanks.

    hi Shannon,
    you can quickly create a large report file size by putting a bunch of large images (using Insert > Picture) in the details section of a report that contains several thousand records.

  • Regarding Crystal Reports 2013 SP1/SP3 runtime distribution clafrifications

    Hi,
    We are in process of migrating exsisting Crystal Reports from CR 2008 SP4 to CR 2013 SP1/SP3.
    Iam unable to find the corresponding msms for the same for runtime distribution (to install on end user Boxs).
    Can see latest as v.13.0.13.1597 (_http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-7824)
    Please help out link where I can download msi (or msms) for Crystal Reports 2013 SP1/SP3 runtimes that need to be deployed on user PCs.
    Also need advise
    ( i ) Can we install both runtimes (CR 2008 SP4 and CR 2013 SP1) on user PC at same time? 
    ( ii ) We have already deployed CR 2008 SP4 runtimes on user PCs, is that sufficient? or do we need to install any other runtime?
    ( iii ) Will CR 2013 SP1 support old CR 2008 SP4 ?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Rajeshwar Rao

    Crystal 2013 does not come with the SDK, instead you have to download Crystal for Visual Studio  AND update your code to use it.  You can't just install one of the .msi  files or the .msm file (which are all available at the link you show above) and expect it to work with existing code.

  • DB2 support for Crystal Reports for Enterprise And Unx errors

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to create a report in CrystalReports for Enterprise 4 sourcing data from Oracle 11 and IBM DB2 V9 databases. My first approach is to create relational connections for both the databases in the BO Repository (using Universe designer) and use them directley in the CR for Enterprise. Here I was able to create the two connections but unable to use the DB2 connnection in the report. I get the below error:
    "The Database DB2V9 is not supported".
    Is DB2 is a supported database for Crystal reports for Enterprise ??
    My second approach is to create a multisource universe using IDT. Here when I try to create the Datafoundation layer, I get to see the tables from the DB2 databasae but When I expand the Oracle connection, I get this error: "conversion from UTF8 to charset failed: encoding not loaded".
    Im unable to create a multisource universe at all no matter what connections I use.
    Here is some additional info:
    SAP BI4.1 SP1
    Windows 2008 R2 servers
    Oracle 11g
    IBM DB2 V9.7
    Any suggestions please!
    Thanks,
    Ravinder

    Hi,
    First of all I would strongly advice you to only use IDT for your universe development. The old Universe Designer is a legacy tool and should not be used unless you are using products that doesn't support IDT universes.
    The issue you are facing for your Oracle connection is likely caused by a missing path variable.
    Add "C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win64_x64" to the PATH environment variables on the SAP Business Objects Enterprise server.
    Restart the SIA
    NOTE: Modify the path in case the SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise is installed in different folder.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers,
    Josh

  • Redistributable components of crystal report 11 and Crystal Report 2013

    Currently we are facing a peculiar problem where we are having a report with 5 tables and connected using the default crystal report db connectivity.
    The report was created in a very old version of crystal report 8.5 and we have been migrating the same to latest versions.
    When i execute the report from my Application using crystal report 11 run-time components installed it works perfectly (5 Secs). In this we were using the viewer ole control embedded in our application.
    But when the same report is opened up from the application using the crystal report 2013 run-time components there is performance lag of 15 Secs every time using the viewer as separate control using C# .net framework 4.0. 
    Also Installing crystal report 11 run-time and then installing crystal report 2013 run-time resolves the issue.
    Can someone let me know if we are missing something.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Satish VS

    Hi Bhushan
    Thanks for your prompt reply
    - The old application was it a .NET or COM SDK app?
    Old application uses the COM SDK App ( CrystalRuntime.Application) developed in VB & consumed the same as an Ole object in Power builder.
    - What version of VS are you using? (Earlier and now).
    Earlier With Crystal report 11 we were directly deploying the viewer as ole control in our Powerbuilder application
    Now we are using VS2010 with .net framework 4.0 as separate viewer control
    - Is this a windows or a web application?
    Its an windows application
    - Provide the version no of CR 11 you used earlier?
    Old Application uses crystal report 11.0.0.1282
    - There are no runtimes for crystal report 2013, so could you please provide the version no for the crystal report 2013 runtimes you are using? You could check the file version of crystaldesicions.crystalreport.engine assembly.
    Yes we are using crystaldecision run-time  and the version is 13.0.2000.0 & Runtime version - v2.0.50727
    - As runtimes, did you use MSM, MSi or ClickOnce CR runtimes do deploy your application?
    We were using this CRRuntime_32bit_13_0.msi as a pre-requisite before deploying our application.
    -Also, if you could elaborate on how did you upgrade / migrate the application and deployed it, would be helpful.
    In my old application we would be using the default crystal report 11 merge module to be deployed alongwith our application msi.
    To upgrade they would install the CRRuntime_32bit_13_0.msi  and then deploy our application msi.
    Please let me know if you need any further information.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Where is the Manage Object function in Crystal Reports 2013 for the CMC?

    I recently upgraded to Crystal Reports 2013 after upgrading our Crystal Reports server to SAP Business Objects Platform 4.1. Before the upgrade, I could publish reports from Crystal Reports XI to the CMC then right-click on the report title in the Repository Explorer (in Crystal Reports) and I had the option to select Manage Object where I could set the default settings for the CMC. I am not seeing this option in the new version of Crystal Reports. Is there something I need to do to see this option or has this option been removed from Crystal Reports 2013?

    Hi Kelley,
    You're right, the option doesn't exist in CR XI R2 and above.
    All the options now need to be set in CMC.

  • Unable to save reports to enterprise from Crystal Reports 2013 and Crystal Reports for Enterprise

    Dear Expert,
    when we tried to save report to enterprise, error happened:
    "Failed to find a Report Application Server."
    We closed BO server firewall.
    We could check report from PC by browser.
    But when we save report from CR 2013, then error happened.
    Then we install CR enterprise and save report is ok from same PC.
    We launch latest patches too.
    Anyone see this before? Please kindly help~

    April, since you have CR4E, you also have BI and thus free phone support included. My suggestion would be to create a phone incident and work with an SAP engineer on the issue. Only saying because it looks like you're somewhat anxious to get this going(?).
