SAP Crystal Report Viewer

Hi,
I have developed a application in visual studio to create and view reports. Now I would like to make this application as default viewer for viewing .rpt files instead with sap report viewer programatically in c# in all the systems i install this application. Please help me in regarding this.

Hi Vamsi,
I honestly don't know how are you going to do to transform the method as default to open the report, but below is a code that will make your report open. From it, you can configure all properties, export and automatically set the parameters. Unfortunately he is different from SAP SBO.
Before you will have to add the library reference:
Crystal Reports Report Source Bridge Library or B1CRBridge.dll (SAP SBO path)
Unfortunately I can't remember which of the two to the right.
Report lReport = new Report();
lReport.Load(@"C:\File.rpt");
lReport.SetDBConnection2(0, "\\local-pc", "SBOTest", "sa", "123456");
var lForm = CrystalReportForm.FromHandle(lReport.PrintPreview());
lForm.Text = "Title of window";
lForm.Show();
Regards,
Paulo Henrique

How to set printersettings for the crystal report viewer in SAP BI dynamically

Hello
I have set the URL method for my crystal report and with parameter passing as shown below, it was displaying the crystal report viewer by connecting to the SAP BI 4.0 server with this method.
http://cr:port/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sDocName=CRLabelParam&sType=rpt&lsSnPrinted=0&lsSsTestProjectNr=1
This URL will be called from Web application by different users, i would like to set the printer settings differently for different users for this crystal report viewer how shall i need to set the printer options?
shall i need to set the printer settings programatically for each user. Please advise me how do i need to proceed.
Thanks & Regards,
Rajeswari.

There are no BI / CR APIs that would do this for you. The way I see it, you'll have to have your own print button and populate it with the correct printer information for each user as they request the report. Of course, alternatively, use the viewer printer button and get the users to choose the correct printer.

Vishal,
I would like to let you know of an SBO addon that we have created called CrystalWave. This addon integrates Crystal reports with B1. This might save you a some time trying to recreate the wheel. Please take a look at the following link:
http://www.twbs.com/CrystalWave.html
YOu can download a fully functional copy at http://www.twbs.com/selectcwversion.html
This will work only on the SBODEMO_US company.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Crystal Report Viewer integration with Sharepoint 2010

We had a requirement in our project to view crystal report off an hyper link embedded into sharepoint web part developed using ASP .NET. The report accepted few parameters from the sharepoint page and passed those on to the SQL server to retrive data and
display the data in the report. The challenge was to open the report in the web browser.
The first difficulty was to find the right control to use, the report viewer tool that comes with Visual Studio 2010 is not the right one to use to view Crystal reports, I realised this after spending half a day trying to figure out why wouldn't the report
load. I then downloaded the Crystal Report Viewer for VS 2010 Standard from http://www.businessobjects.com/jump/xi/crvs2010/us2_default.asp. After you install this, you get the crystal report viewer in your toolbar. All you have to do is drag and drop it on
to the web part and configure it to use your report. If any one needs help with this let me know I will show how to do that.
So far so good. The biggest challenge was to deploy this on to the production server which took better part of 3 days to figure out how its done. If you deploy the WSP file as it is expecting that the crystal DLLs would be embedded in it then be ready to
expect a rude shock because it isn't. Here are the steps -
1. Deploy the WSP to the sharepoint server
2. Install the crystal dlls used in the project (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll, CrystalDecisions.ReportSource.dll, CrystalDecisions.Shared.dll, CrystalDecisions.Web.dll) into the GAC using GacUtil command
3. Add following entries to Web.Config file (C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80\web.congif)
 <SafeControl Assembly="CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine, Version=13.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304" Namespace="CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine" TypeName="*" Safe="True" SafeAgainstScript="False"
/>
 <SafeControl Assembly="CrystalDecisions.ReportSource, Version=13.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304" Namespace="CrystalDecisions.ReportSource" TypeName="*" Safe="True" SafeAgainstScript="False" />
 <SafeControl Assembly="CrystalDecisions.Shared, Version=13.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304" Namespace="CrystalDecisions.Shared" TypeName="*" Safe="True" SafeAgainstScript="False" />
 <SafeControl Assembly="CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=13.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304" Namespace="CrystalDecisions.Web" TypeName="*" Safe="True" SafeAgainstScript="False" />
4. Install crystal redistributable package which can be downloaded from http://www.businessobjects.com/jump/xi/crvs2010/us2_default.asp (
SAP Crystal Reports runtime engine for .NET Framework 4 (64-bit))
5. Copy aspnet_client folder from C:\>inetpub\wwwroot and overwrite it on C:\>inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80
And we are done. Fingers crossed it should all work.

Hi Mahesh,
How are you loading the report in your webpart? This is what I have done. I have tried to explain what I am doing in the program comments. Hope this helps. Good luck.

 EventLog.WriteEntry("Reports", "Inside PAge Load ", EventLogEntryType.Error);
 SPFolder folder = thisSite.GetFolder("Reports");
 if (folder.Exists)
 // get collection of Crystal Reports rpt files in the document library

Error in Preview and Print in Crystal Report Viewer 2.0.0.7 in Workstation

Hi Guys,
I am encountering a problem when clicking preview and print in Crystal Report Viewer 2.0.0.7. It returns an error
Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue the application will ignore and attempt to continue. If you click quit, the application will close immediately. Load report failed.
I already install the runtime crruntime_120_mlb, . net framework 3.5 sp1 and the add-on itself. The viewer is working properly in SAP Server. My version of SAP is SBO 2007 A SP00 PL10.

Integration of Crystal Report Viewer in VS2010 WPF

Hello,
I google and research and founded that the viewer control is not attached with VS2010 so, we have to install it separately. I found it form here [http://www.businessobjects.com/jump/xi/crvs2010/us2_default.asp].
I installed "SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio 2010".
Now, I want to add Crystal Report Viewer on my WPF Page. how can I do this ?
I tried to find that control to add in toolbox but I didn't find it.
Please can someone help me int this that how can I add that control and call the report to view in that and change the sql server dynamically for that crystal report.
Bunch of thanks in advance, this would save me a lot....Appreciated any ones help.
Thanks

If I change the user agent string in Firefox to that of Firefox 7.0.1 everything works as expected, this implies there is some logic in get_IsNetscape6Up() which is failing because the major browser version as reported by the user agent string is two digits instead of one.
We encountered a similar issue for our legacy pages containing Infragistics 2007 controls but were able to fix that by overriding the System.Web.Configuration.HttpCapabilitiesBase.BrowserCapabilitiesProvider and faking the browser version to 9.80. Crystal Report Viewer is apparently not using .Net's built in HttpBrowserCapabilities object, is there anything else I can adjust to stop the viewer failing?

hello Robert
Today must be my day. I already got a reply from PM (normally it takes a "bit" longer...). Anyhow, here is what he said:
With Firefoxu2019s release cycles, I donu2019t think weu2019ll be able to officially support the latest versions
of Firefox at every service release. We do our best to test the released versions of Firefox
that align with our releases. I donu2019t know the details but Iu2019ve heard there is a plan in place where
the support team(s) (?) will test the most recent releases of Firefox with whatu2019s currently
shipping by SAP and log bugs as necessary.
(umm, this is my - Ludek note here ) -> news to me re. support doing QA... find out something new every day. Anyhow, continuation of the message from PM:
The current plan for CR for VS2010, the SP3 release (expected in April) will support up to
Firefox 9. If there are reproducible bugs in Firefox 10 (or higher), then please enter a bug
and escalate and it will be investigated for the next available release.
I'll revisit this once SP3 is out there and do an escalation for Firefox 10 - ok?

Crystal Report Viewer Control error

Please Help, I have a web application developed in .net 2005 which is using crystal reports developer product version 10.0.0.533.
This web application with crystal is working fine on my local machine with OS windows xp, but on the windows server 2003 the application web form is running into "couldnot load file or assembly 'CrystalDecision.VSDesigner, Version=10.0.0.3300' or one of its dependencies"
I have compared the assembly information of my local machine with that of the server and could not see the crystaldecision.vsdesigner version 10.0.0.3300 on the server 2003. I have uninstalled microsoft .net 2005 and crystal reports and installed crystal first and visual studio .net 2005 next and vice versa but still could not see that particular assembly available in the windows 2003 server.
Please suggest as what to do for the assembly to be available on the server so crystal report viewer control can be created with out error. Thanks for any help.

Hello Sunitha,
Visual Studios 2005 ships with a bundled edition of Crystal Reports. This bundled edition is based on the v10 code stream, but it is not CR10. It's CR.NET for Visual Studios and it's v10.2. Crystal Reports 10.0 and the bundled CR.NET 10.2 for VS2005 are not interchangeable.
The stand alone version of Crystal Reports 10 is not expected to integrate correctly into VS2005. If you have CR10 Developer installed on your VS2005 machine you can force VS2005 to use the CR10.0 assemblies, but it is not supported.
You need to clean up your application so that it's referencing the 10.2 version assemblies and then deploy the 10.2 runtime files. You can visit the [Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET Runtime Distribution - Versions 9.1 to 12.0|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/wiki?path=/display/bobj/crystalReportsruntimeforVisualStudio.NET] Wiki for a nice overview of the various versions of Crystal Reports, as well as a listing of the runtime files to match the version of Crystal Reports that is being used. For VS2005 and bundled CR.NET look at the "CR 10.2 (VS .NET 2005)" section of the Wiki.
Sincerely,
Dan Kelleher

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 Toolbar Images missing

I have Crystal Reports XI R2 installed on a windows server 2008 R2 Enterprise server and when a when I browse to my asp.net page withe the crystal reports viewer I get the red x's for the toolbar images. The viewer and web.config entries all reference the 11.5.3700.0. When I view the source of the page the source is "../aspnet_client/system_web/2_0_50727/crystalreportviewers115". At first the crystalreportviewers115 was not in subfolder at my sites root aspnet_client folder and so I copied it there. But it still doesn't work.
What seems odd is that we I was using the embedded version from VS 2008 (10.5.3700.0) the view source of the page showed the image path as "/aspnet_client/system_web/2_0_50727/CrystalReportWebFormViewer4" and this worked fine but when I use XI R2 (11.5.3700.0) the path is "../aspnet_client/system_web/2_0_50727/crystalreportviewers115" so where and why is there ".." for the XI R2 version.

CR 11.5 is not supported on WIn 2008 server. See [this|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=56787567] wiki.
You may also want to take a look at the article [Viewer toolbar images appear as red u2018X on Crystal Reports VS .NET web viewer|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/50aa68c0-82dd-2b10-42bf-e5502b45cd3a]. It may help, but if not, you'll have to move on to a supported version of CR.

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
The following add-on was running when this problem occurred:
Add-on Name: CRViewer.dll

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

Crystal Report Viewer (SmartViewerActiveX/ActiveXViewer) barcode problem

I am using the crystal reports viewer to show my reports in my asp website.
In the reports, I have a barcode using the font source IDAutomationHC39M.ttf.
This code must be a certain size that I indicated in my report design.
The problem is that the viewer appears in the browser with the barcode expanded to full size, and not with the size that I indicated in report design.
If I print from the program Crystal Reports, it appears according to the size indicated.
It seems that this is a problem of the Viewer in the browser.
Someone can help me? this matter is very urgent.
Thank you.

Thread moved to the .NET - SAP Crystal Reports forum.
A few details missing:
1) Version of CR?
2) CR updates applied?
3) Version of .NET?
4) OS?
5) What browser and version?
6) is the issue present on dev / deployed computer / both?
Oh, BTW.; if this is urgent, consider creating a phone case here:

Crystal Reports Viewer - pdf, prompts, icons problem

Hi all,
I am a new in BO.
I have some answer about Crystal Reports Viewer (not about setup.exe but about CRV application that I uploaded on Tomcat)
1) The old version (11.5) works good, only Export to PDF functionality is wrong. There are in the pdf file wrong display of specific czech characters (charset)
2) A new version, Crystal Reports Viewer 2008, show the same pdf mistake. I have J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 4 and Apache Tomcat 5.5.9.
I upload application on Tomcat, configuration (web.xml, crconfig.xml and context.xml) is the same with version 11.5.
Crystal Reports Viewer 2008 displayed reports, but the problem with PDF is present. The second problem is the look of CRV. First one, the icons (for export, print...all icons) are not displayd. I can copy old jar files into java (in application folder C:\WebReports\WEB-INF\lib), but then CRV looks like old version.
And CRV 2008 doesn't display listbox in dynamic prompt on crystal report. What shall I set to displaying prompts in CRV 2008 (on CRV or on report in Crystal 2008)?
Have you some idea? What and how can I set and configure application and where?
Veronika

Hi,
To confirm, are you talking about "Crystal Reports Viewer 2008" http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/reporting/viewer/index.epx
I suggest sending in the report, in the viewer, select "Help" - "General Feedback" and then pick the option to attach the report. In a couple of months there will be a refresh version of this view which will have Czech language support so it would be good if we could test out your PDF issue.
As for showing parameters in the prompt panel in Crystal Reports Viewer 2008, since the viewer cannot refresh the data, make sure the parameter does not used in the record selection formula but only in the saved data selection formula.
