Schedule Webi (and Crystal) report without creating a new instance

Hi all,
I'm looking for the way to not create a new instance of the report when we schedule a report? Is it any actions on the InfoObject object? Or is it just impossible to do?
Thanks in advance !

Hi,
With regards to your query, whenever a report is scheduled an instance of it will be created.
Therefore, it is not possible to schedule a report without creating an instance.

  • Not able to schedule Webi and Crystal reports in Infoview

    Hi All,
    We are using Business Objects XI 3.1.
    I am not able to schedule reports in Infoview irrespective of the report type.
    The Webi report throws the error "Bad Request(Invalid URL)" when I hit on the Format Destination section.
    The Crystal report without prompt hangs when I hit schedule button and the report with prompt throws the error "An error has occurred:Invalid postback or callback argument."
    Recently we installed the Fixpack 1.2 for XI 3.1.
    Thanks in Advance

    Hi Kilic,
    You mean to say re-install the Java version.
    Also there is issue in IIS Server. It always encounters a problem and stops. I have to restart the IIS Server. How to deal with these issues? Very confused

  • Embedding WebI and Crystal reports on a web page

    Hi,
    I'm new to BO, so please bear with me. I've also posted this to the .NET-side, so sorry if you've seen this post before.
    We have a project where we will need to embed WebI and Crystal reports on a web page, i.e. we want the people who access the web page to get the reports (mainly graphs) as embedded content on the web page without any controls and other clutter.
    Is this possible and what's the correct way of doing this?
    Thanks,
    Carl

    Hi,
    Thanks for the help!
    We still face the original problem, though. I.e. with openDocoument we get the report, controls, tab selections, scroll bars etc. What we actually would like is to get just the contents of a report.
    Is there any way of doing it? We're not afraid of coding, we have good developers. Or do we need to schedule report creation to some format (e.g. PDF) and then load the PDF to the web page?
    Basicaly it's more important to get this working for WebI reports as we can redo almost all reports from Crystal to WebI. Of course we are happy to find a resolution for both cases.

  • Merits and Demerits of WEBI and Crystal reports!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Dear Experts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I came up with many documents, but i cannot able to find the exact merits and demerits over WebI and Crystal Reports.
    Experts can u people help me out in this regards,
    Atleast the comparison between them.
    Regards,
    Suman Thangadurai

    What angle are you coming at this from?
    Are you talking about in terms of replacing Deski?
    Or as a first reporting tool to learn?
    If you're moving away from Deski, I'd personally go for Webi. Very small amount of learning required to move from one to the other. It's also much easier to pick up and start working with.

  • Help requested on WEBI and Crystal Reports

    Hi All,
    1. Our Sys Admin has installed Business Objects XI Enterprise Server on the Corporate Development Server. The objective is to develop few WEBI objects and Crystal Reports and deploy on the Development Server for further testing. What developer tools I need on my local system to develop WEBI Objects and Crystal Reports?
    2. For crystal reports is there a need to develop universe, or is it possible to fetch from the database directly if the DB meets all the data needs?
    Thanks in advance
    Sunny

    Hi gudurusk,
    For CR creation the you need Crystal Reports. Thats a Report developing Tool which needs to be installed local on your Desktop PC
    WebI is a Java based Reporting Tool. So you create your Reports in a Web Browser. You LogIn to InfoView and click New -> Web Intelligence Document and start.
    Crystal can do both. It can report of a Universe and can by directly connected to your DB.
    Regards

  • Service Manager 9.21: How to create a new instance of scautolistener and assign a port to it.

    Hi,
    2 instances of scautolistener are already running and i want to create a new instance of scautolistener.
    The sm.cfg file entry of scautolistener instances are:
    sm -scautolistener:12670 -debugscauto -log:..\logs\scauto.log
    sm -scautolistener:12690 -log:..\logs\scsmtp.log
    Please guide me as how to create a new instance of scautolistener.

    first, you cannot create instances of methods. but you can create instances of classes (==objects).
    the algorithm for primes does not work yet (its your work) but i inserted the code to create your object.
    import java.math.*;
    public class IsPrime {
    public boolean isPrime1(int arg){
    for(int e = 2; e < arg; e++){
    int remainder=arg%e;
    if(remainder==0){
    System.out.println("This number is not a prime number");
    break;
    else {
    System.out.println("This number is a prime number");
    break;
    return true;
    public static void main(String[] args){
    System.out.println(args.length);
    if (args.length>1){
    System.out.println("Sorry you can only enter one number");
    else{
    String sNum =args[0];
    int iNum=Integer.parseInt(sNum);
    IsPrime myPrimesObject = new IsPrime(); // here is your object
    if (myPrimesObject.IsPrime1(iNum)==true)
    System.out.println("is a prime");else System.out.println("is not a prime");

  • PS2013 - When creating a new instance of Project Server hangs in 'Waiting for resources' status

    Hi,
    I have one instance of Project Server 2013 fully operational and I tried to duplicate the instance to make some tests. As I know the issue of using the same Content Database of Project Server in the same Server Farm, I used the powershell  backup/restore/dismount
    and mount the content database to change the site IDs to avoid index duplication. The Project server database was a regular SQL backup and restore in another database.
    I created a new Web App in the port 90 as show below.
    Then I included the Content database of Project Server as separated DB from SharePoint for this new SharePoint -acme90 and I tried to create the new instance. The creation hanged in "Waiting for Resources" status.
    To make another check excluding the reuse of the SharePoint-80 I tried to create another instance both in the SharePoint-80 where is the working instance and in the SharePoint-90, everything default and again they all hanged in Waiting for Resource.
    If I try to create the instance using PowerShell I got the following error:
    PS C:\Users\epm_setup> Mount-SPProjectWebInstance -DatabaseName Test_EPM -SiteCo
    llection http://acme02/epm -Lcid 1046
    Mount-SPProjectWebInstance : Cannot find an SPSite object with Id or Url:

       ountPwaInstance
    All SharePoint and Project Server services are running, all App Pools and sites are started at the IIS. I could not find a hanging timer job.
    I cannot stop the hanged process or dismount the instances using Powershell since no instance created.
    How should I solve the hanging status of creation of the instance? As they are in Hyper-V I can go back using one snapshot.
    Thank you.
    Best regards, Ricardo Segawa - Segawas Projetos / Microsoft Partner

    Hi Eric,
    Thank your for your interest in this case.
    I checked for running and crashed PWA jobs and deleted all of them just after restoring the snapshot and tried to create the new instance in the new web app in port 90 (besides the existing and working instance in port 80), but again it hanged in "waiting
    for resources". There is not any timer job hanging, no error in event viewer or in log. So the error is well before working with cloned dbs.
    Answering your questiion, I am working all on 2013. My intention is backup one instance of the port 80 and copy to the instance of port 90, changing of course the url and the index of the content db of SharePoint. The process I used was:
    Create a new web app in port 90, creating a new SharePoint_Content_2 on a
    http://server:90 site.
    Created the top level site called Portal using the Team Site template.
    Create a new content db for new instance of Project Server named EPM_Content_2 using Central Admin.
    Backup content db from port 80 instance of Project Server and restore to this EPM_content_2 using PowerShell cmd.
    Dismounted and mounted this Project Server content db to create new index for existing sites to avoid index conflicts.
    Backup the Project Server DB from port 80 using SQL backup and restored as ProjectWebApp2 db for port 90 instance.
    Tried to create a new instance of Project Server
    http://server:90/pwa on web app of port 90 using the ProjectWebApp2 db and using the same app pool of the other instance. But as in the previous case, it hang out in "Waiting for resources".

  • Windows 2008 Web Server and Crystal Reports Runtime 10 comptability

    We have migrated a website that was previoulsy on a Wndows 2003 server using IIS6 and Crystal Reports Runtime v 10 on ASP.NET 2.0
    After migrating the website, and installing the Crytal Reports runtime, we are getting application errors related to Crystal Reports Runtime in event viewer and the browser.
    For one is Crystal Reports Runtime v10 compatible with Windows 2008 Server, IIS 7 ?

    No it is not. You're looking for about a 5 year forward compatibility. At this time, only CR 2008 (12.x) and Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008 (10.5) are supported on WIN 2008. See [this|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=56787567] blog for more details.

  • Views on CF Report Builder and Crystal Report

    Dear all,
    I would like to get your opinions on CF Report Builder and
    Crystal Report.
    As we all know, CF Report Builder is a new reporting tool.
    But I find it very difficult to design a complex report maybe due
    to limitation in its functionalities. Sometimes the tool shutdowns
    by itself without any warning and reason. But the output is nicely
    presented on a flash paper / pdf and it can be run on non-MS
    platforms.
    On the other hand, Crystal Report is a more matured product
    but runs only on MS platform. It is very easy to use and very
    powerful. I have been using it for almost 10 years. But the output
    is not nicely presented on the web browser unless if we purchase
    Crystal Report Enterprise to generate the report which is very
    costly.
    Can you all share your views? I need to make decision which
    tool(s) to use. Really appreciate it.
    Cheers,
    Keiko

    Hi Keiko,
    Yes, CF Report builder is new and initially there was few
    issues with this. But I guess now it's good after hotfixes.
    Well, I am using CF Report Builder. It's good for me. You can
    also design and develop complex reports, that depends upon the
    query you are writing. You can also add subreports to your main
    reports.
    Mainly CF Report is platform independent and you can also
    generate reports in PDF, EXCEL and FlashPaper.
    Crystal Report is no doubt is very good, and it's there for
    long years. I agree you can create complex reports with this, but
    you also can do the same in CF also. You are using this for last 10
    years, so I guess you should try something new and that is CF
    Report Builder and you can judge then.
    I am sure you will have fun with CF.
    Thanks

  • Crystal reports and crystal report viewer

    Hi.
    I have up to recently used crystal report version 11.5 and reports have been made available for users in the organisation via Crystal report viewer.2010 ver 11.2.1.3.
    The reports have been saved without data, and the different parameters have been available for the users for them to select approriate dataset,.
    I have now upgraded Crystal reports to version 2013 ver 14.1 and crystal report viewer to same version.
    The problem now is that the parameters are no longer available for the users, and it is also a requirement to save the reports incl a dataset to even open the report in the new report viewer.
    What have I missed? Anyone that can help me ?
    brgds Torunn

    Hi Torunn
    An alternative may be to create a web app using either the Crystal Reports .NET or Java SDK. Depending on what development software you already have, this may be cheaper than CR Server or "BO server". E.g.; both the .NET SDK and the Java SDK are free:
    SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio: Updates & Runtime Downloads
    SAP BusinessObjects - SAP Crystal Reports, Version For Eclipse Download
    The above would be predicated on the assumption  that your org has some developer experience (or is willing to acquire it) and that you have the development software (e.g.; VS 2010, or 2012, or 2013 for the CR SDK for .NET).

  • BOBJ Auditing - Activity Universe and Crystal Reports

    Here are the user requests.  Are these possible with BOBJ Auditor? There are some sample reports in Infoview Public folders and Activity Universe connection is working.
    1. User and Group access and type of access to all folders and Crystal reports.
    2.Develop a report of the inventory of all scheduled reports indicating report name, location, frequency/schedule and distribution list (include FTP / file location if not e-mail).
    A monthly report would probably be sufficient and would be used to facilitate management oversight of report distribution.
    3.An inventory of all reports indicating report name, location, database connection, scheduled or not scheduled, when created, when last time run, by whom
    4.Automated report for failed instances - Crystal report failures within folders.  Most of the reports are run overnight
    Environment: BOXI R2, Crystal Reports, Activity Universe

    Hello,
    I'll attempt to answer your question. I should point out that not everything you need is an audited event. You might be better served by the Query Builder for some of your requirements.
    1. It is possible to create a list of all folders/ reports a user/group has access to. The type of access a user/group has is not audited.
    2. This is possible (more or less). You might have to move the distribution list portion to a different tab/ report.
    3. Again, I'm uncertain how much of this info is audited. Needless to say, a report that has never been run will have no audit information. Report name and location (i.e. within BOE) are audited. It doesn't look like the database connection is audited.
    4. This is possible and relatively simple.

  • VS2008/VS2005 and Crystal Reports 2008 Developer

    Hi,
    1.) I am using VS2008 and Crystal Reports 2008 Developer. Are there any issues I need to consider when developing using both of the above? (or with VS2005)
    2.) The confusion for me is in regards to the SDK. From what I understand from articles etc is that using CR 2008 dev we can use the .NET SDK or RAS SDK for development purposes?
    3.) So downloaded the sample code for RAS .NET from [here|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/businessobjects-samples?rid=/webcontent/uuid/80774579-b086-2b10-db91-ed58c4dda375] and tried "DatabaseLogon_CS" example, as the option. It automatically opened in VS2005 (no problem) however it would not run.
    I would get an error :
    Failed to connect to server "localhost".
    Error returned from Windows Sockets API : 0.
    and line causing this is >>> rcd.Open(ref path, 0);
    Code below:
            string sampleReportPath = @"C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\Samples\en\Reports\Demonstration\World Sales Report.rpt";
            object path = (object)sampleReportPath;
            // Create an instance of the ReportClientDocument.
            ReportClientDocument rcd = new ReportClientDocumentClass();
            // Set the location of the RAS server.
            rcd.ReportAppServer = "localhost";
            // Use the Open() method of the ReportClientDocument to open the report.
            rcd.Open(ref path, 0);
    I have been able to open the RPT file by itself. So it does 'see' the database.
    Reason why it would not run?
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    If you're using the sample code from our website, make sure you have uncommented the InprocRAS option in the ConfigureCrystalReports method (see below). From your error description it seems like you're using the unmanaged RAS option, which requires a RAS server.
    private void ConfigureCrystalReports()
            /* The following methods implement the same sample functionality in three different RAS
             * scenarios. Uncomment the method you would like to use.
             * - inprocRAS() logs onto a databse using RAS and SQL authentication.
             * - managedRAS() logs onto a database using RAS and SQL authentication from a managed RAS server.
             * - unmanagedRAS () logs onto a database using RAS and SQL authentication from an unmanaged RAS server.
             * Undocument the call to the method which applies to your appropriate RAS settings.
            DatabaseLogon_inprocRAS();
            //DatabaseLogon_managedRAS();
            //DatabaseLogon_unmanagedRAS();
