Scheduling Crystal Report with Subreport in BOE 12.0.0.683

I have scheduled a crystal report in BOE that contains a subreport. The report successfully completes, but the data for the subreport is blank. I know there are records for the subreport because they are there when I run the subreport manually in crystal. Is there a way to fix this?

hi,
You can set the Idle connection time out parameter to desired value (in minutes) for Processing server using CMC.

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.

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...

Hi Sreedhar,
Did you find any option Scheduling for the report with in crystal designer.
We need Crystal Enterprise or Server to schedule the reports at regular intervals.
We can schedule the report for our required destination, we can view the reports with default viewers with in the Enterprise.
There is no need of using any third party tools.

Scheduled Crystal Report with Enterprise Portal

Hi all,
I want to Schedule that Crystal Report which is retrieving data from EXCEL. For that I have followed the following Steps.
Login into CMCApp.
Select the required rpt file and clicked the Schedule.
It opens the Schedule Screen.
In that I have specified the Recurrence Parameter as Hourly. Every 5 min the data is updated and Scheduled For as administrator.
Initially the portal display the saved data in the crystal report. If I click the refresh button manually, then only it displays the updated Data.
The status of object is Success, while seeing the History of the Object. If I click the View Latest Instance in CMCApp, It shows the updated data(Refreshed Data).
Whether I am following the Correct Steps? Other than this What I have to do for scheduling?
How can I retrieve the data from View Latest Instance? Is it possible? or by default Portal displays the saved data ?
Help me in this regard
Thanks & regards,
Hemalatha J

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.

Schedule Crystal Reports on BOE with Parameters

Hi
I would like to schedule Crystal reports with parameters on BOE. How can I pass a parameter if the job is scheduled to run nightly?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hello!
I am going to assume that you know how to schedule a report to run nightly and how to set the parameters/prompts, and what you are really asking is how to change what the parameter/prompt value will be every night?
If that is the case there is no default functionally that can do that. How ever you could create a Java application (or another supported programming language) application that will run as a Program Job Object. The PGO (Program Job Object) will be what is scheduled nightly. Inside the PGO you would schedule your report to "run now" with the parameters/prompts you want for that night.
I hope I have answered your question. Cheers!

Scheduling Crystal Report to fax

Hello,
We have a requirement to schedule the Crystal Report to fax through Crystal Report Server 2008.
We use rightfax server with email gateway configured to SMPT server to send fax as email . In order to send fax as email right fax server uses addressing scheme like below for email address.
/fax= <fax Number>/<domain name)
/fax = 610666666/<arightfax(at)xyz.com>
In Crystal Report Server, I scheduled crystal report with destination as email and for " To field :" entered email address following above addressing scheme. But crystal report server does not recognize above addressing scheme as email address and job fails. Please advice if there is any way to resolve this or achieve my requirement through Crystal Report server.
Thank you.
Regards
Pushparaj.

I was wondering if you had heard or found anything on this Issue we are also trying to perform the same function and I am looking for some way to send several reports to the Right Fax printer or to the system.

Can not view/schedule Crystal Reports in new BOE XI 3.0 Installation

Hello,
I'm having an issue on a brand new installation of BusinessObjects XI 3.0 on AIX 5.2 (using WebSphere 6.0). Installation went smoothly and migration went fine. Can log in, pull up CMC, InfoView (all other apps). But scheduled Crystal Reports (as well as viewing Crystal Report thru InfoView) are failing with the following errors (which to me seem interrelated):
*(1) Error in File ~cec0c55d91e0e015.rpt: The request could not be submitted for background processing*
*(2) Error in Report XXX: Failed to load database information*
*(3) An error occurred while creating a subprocess in the processing server. [RCIRAS0604]*
These three errors indicate to me that the report engines are having issues opening the files, pulling the data and generating the reports. We've checked to make sure that the account that BOE is running under has all the permissions it needs - and it has.
I just turned on tracing (-trace) on the report job processing servers and I'm watching the logs as I retrace my steps...
Any ideas? Would appreciate any feedback...
Thanks,
Will

Turns out this is a pretty nasty issue on Unix environments. Being that the BOE application is developed on Windows then ported to Unix environments, the services (daemons) still end up depending on an emulated registry (MainWin) sort of like in a Windows environment.
For some reason (we're still trying to figure this out), the BOE registry entries got corrupted and then started preventing the processing servers (which in the case of CR ultimately depend on CRPE - Crystal Reports Print Engine) from opening up and processing CR files.
We engaged BusinessObjects/SAP support and have been able to resolve this issue on our test AIX system. The resolution included deleting all the mainwin (mw) tmp directories and files in the root temp directory and also in the
/bobje/enterprise120/aix_rs6000/crpe>
directory. Then we stopped all BOE services and reran the MW script to regenerate registry entries. This repair was a pretty intricate multi-step process. The SAP Technical Rep who worked on this case is writing a knowledge base article (an SAP note). Once I get details, I'll update this post.
The good news about this issue is that the upcoming SP1 of XI 3.0 removes the dependency on the mw registries...

Schedule a report with the system date imbeded in the file name

Hello,
Could anyone tell me how I can schedule a crystal report with the system date imbedded in the file name (FileNameYYYYMMDD) through BOE? When I scheduled the report through BOE, I gave a file name and selected Attach Date Time, but the file name is coming out slightly differently and with the time imbedded as well (FileNameYYYY-MM-DD-HH-MN I think). Is there a way to change the default system date time format in BOE so that the date stamp comes out the way we want it?
Thanks!

%SI_STARTTIME% will add the time the report ran too.
Adding onlt the date will necessarily have to be done via the appropriate SDK.

Duplicate Object Name Error When Publishing Crystal Reports from BW to BOE

Hi,
We recently upgraded our systems (all client and server) to SP2.7 in order to solve a problem with saving Crystal Reports to BW. Now we are experiencing a new error when trying to publish a Crystal Report from BW to BOE (either all in one step from Crystal Reports application or directly from within BW).
Upon trying to publish a Crystal Report from BW to BOE, we get the following error:
"An error occurred while saving and / or publishing. The return code 1 was returned from the server. Logon to Crystal Enterprise failed. Unable to commit the changes to Enterprise. Reason: Failed to commit objects to server : Duplicate object name in the same folder."
We have repeated this issue numerous time with different reports, users and logon credentials and have verified that there are NOT any duplicate object names.
Additionally, in some cases, the report ultimately publishes to BOE, but with the above error interruption along the way.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Josh

Ingo,
Apologies for the delayed response. We've spent a few days poking around with this issue, and had even opened a customer message for it (13641).
In the end, it seems that the problem was somehow associated with the "Prepare this report for translation." flag in the "Save to BW Options" dialog box of Crystal Reports. If we try to Save & Publish with the Translation flag selected, we get the duplicate entry error. If we Save & Publish without the Translation flag selected, everything is fine.
There are still some details we need to look into, but for the time being it looks like we don't have an issue anymore(assuming we ever did) as we're not concerned with Translation capabilities.
If we come across the problem again, I'll post again.
Thanks,
Josh

Exporting Crystal Reports with embedded Xcelsius content to PDF

Hi,
I have a crystal report with an embedded xcelsius chart. I would like to schedule this report using Crystal Server 2008, sending it monthly as a PDF file attached to an email. But after exporting the report through Crystal Server, the xceslsius content is just blank. Shouldn't this be working?

What is the version of Adobe Reader? Adobe Reader 9 should be there.Also check whether you have Flash Palyer/ flash Active X control installed.
If you can view the dashboard after exporting it to PPT,it means you have Flash Player installed. You need to try with Adobe Reader 9.

How to do Scheduling Crystal Reports?

Hi All,
I request any one of you, to let me know how to schedule Crystal Reports. I am unable to find any option in Crystal Report Designer.
Please list if any step by step procedure on scheduling crystal reports(lets say hourly, or weekly and save the crystal report with data).
And also any idea on how to maintain crystal reports instances?
Thanks in advance !

There are actually a dozen or so tools out there that can schedule Crystal Reports. The two mentioned here are SAP products. For a complete list of third-party scheduling products (ranging from free to several thousand dollars) you can go here:
http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html
There are even a few more at the high end that will be added to that page in the next month or so. I am currently working on a feature comparison for scheduling engines for my March newsletter.
