Crystal Report Images Not Showing - JSP inside /WEB-INF folder

Hi Experts,
I am using Crystal report for Eclipse and also using Struts2 and tiles framework combination.
The problem is when viewing the report all I've got is red X on all images and the graph image also not showing. This is when I use tiles and my jsp is inside the web-inf folder.
This is my struts link: href="s:url value='/report/reportOpen.action?report=1'
I've checked that the path to the viewer generated HTML is not correct. see code below.
src="../../../crystalreportviewers/js/crviewerinclude.js"
But when I test to access a simple jsp viewer that resides on the web root folder, this works fine but of course this is not what I want to have. I need to have my banner and menus on top of the report page (using tiles)
This is my jsp link: href="s:url value='/ReportViewer.jsp?report=1'
Viewer generated HTML below.
src="crystalreportviewers/js/crviewerinclude.js"
This might be a common problem and that you can share to me your solution.
Note: I removed the script tags because I can't submit this entry.
Thank you in advance,

Crystal Report Images Not Showing - JSP inside /WEB-INF folder

Hi Saravana,
After a few experimentation from your idea i was able to figure out the problem and now it is working.
I don't have to copy the folder to where my jsp resides but still maintains it in the root location: web/crystalreportviewers
The changes should always be in web.xml.
1st: change the crystal_image_uri value to ../crystalreportviewers
2nd: change crystal_image_use_relative value to "web"
Change to "web" instead of webapp because that is what I named my web root folder.
<context-param>
          <param-name>crystal_image_uri</param-name>
          <param-value>../crystalreportviewers</param-value>
     </context-param>
     <context-param>
          <param-name>crystal_image_use_relative</param-name>
          <param-value>web</param-value>
     </context-param>
Thank you. You showed me the way on how to solve the 3 day problem.
BTW, my next problem is when clicking on any buttons prev/next/print/export, I got this error HTTP Status 404.
Well, at least for now I can view my initial report. I just need to figure out the next issue and with the help of the great people here in the forum.
Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Rulix

Load Multiple Images using link in Crystal Report

Hi Guys,
I am currently in need of developing a new requirement for our company's client. We have to load multiple images using just link in Crystal Report. Let's say that the images are stored in a folder (e.g., C:\Datafolder\Images\) and i have to fetch two images to show in crystal report (say, C:\Datafolder\Images\imageval1 and C:\Datafolder\Images\imageval2). These are actually dynamically created and therefore the number of images are not known and so i have to iterate through the list of image links.
Is it possible using merely crystal report and how?. Please take note that we're also using C# in developing our software applications.
Thanks and best regards.
---CHITO--

Hi Chito,
You cannot load multiple images dynamically. Using the 'graphic location' formula for the OLE Object, you can only point to a location that can load one image.
For the second image, you'll need to manually insert another OLE Object and point the formula to the next image's location.
You can try posting to the SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio space to find out whether this can be done using CR SDK.

Safari has become unusable—it freezes, links are unclickable, then I get "Web pages are not responding..."
Safari has been my favorite browser for a long time. Nothing against the others but I have found it faster and better. Now I can really no longer use it. This has been going on and getting worse for atr least few weeks. Anyone know why?

Problem with subrpt links in crystal reports 8.5 (cr 9 and 2008 installed)

I am trying to add a subreport to an existing CR 8.5 report. I currently have Cr 8.5, cr 9 and cr 2008 on my pc (xp). The subrpt is pointing to a sql 2005 stored procedure that has a parameter (@vvcrCono). When I try to set up the link, the parameter is not listed in the of available parameters to link to. I select a field from the available fields on the main report, hit the > to move it over as a field to link to, and the dropdown that contains the list of parms to link to on the subreport will change to ?pm-(fieldname). I do not see the parm list from the subreport. I am unable to get the link defined. This occurs even when trying to edit an existing subreport.
Is there a problem with running these crystal report versions on the same machine? Or am I just missing something? It has been a while since I've used cr 8.5.

Joanne, thank you for your posted solution and specifically your mention of miniscule scroll bar of the 'subreport parameter field to use' drop down, I had been on several forums but none of them mentioned this, my subreport now accepts the passed parameter and main report works well. Hope your post helps others as it did me, only wish we could include a graphic to illustrate this as I have seen same question posed several times and several different msg boards.

What is the URL link for Crystal Report samples from Richard Duffy or SAP?

Hey Experts,
I recall there is a website provided by Richard or SAP that gives away free sample of various crystal reports, or charges for some reports at a minimal price.
Anyone know the website link??
Thanks!

Dynamic url link for Crystal Reports Enterprise?

Hi all,
We recently upgraded to SBOP 4.0 SP2 and are looking at migrating our existing Crystal Reports from Crystal Reports 2011 to Crystal Reports for Enterprise 4.0.
Up to this point we have been utilizing the BW Publisher and role menus in BW.
Our long term goal is to migrate users from the BW GUI to the BI LaunchPad but this will be a gradual process.
Until we make the final switch to the LaunchPad we need to maintain the links in the role menus. I found the Document Link option for Crystal Reports so I have a URL to point to the report that we can put in the role menu, but the system value is not dynamic. Is there a way to make this dynamic like we can do with web template URLs?
For example, when using a web template URL we can use the <bsp_server> parameter in the URL to determine the SAP system. Is there an equivalent that can be used in the Document Link for the Crystal Report to determine the respective SBOP system?
Thanks.

Report links in Crystal Reports portlet for IBM Websphere 6.0

Hi,
We have some problem when we try to use BusinessObjects XI Release 2 Java Portal Integration Kit for WebSphere (http://ftp1.businessobjects.com/outgoing/products/pik/BusinessObjectsPortlets.zip), that was downloaded from http://www.businessobjects.com/products/downloadcenter/boepik.asp.
This portlet configured for work with Crystal Reports Server XI Release 2 Service Pack 2.
The portal server that we use is IBM WebSphere Portal Server 6.0.
In Portlet interface we can see list of reports on Crystal Reports server, but links for this reports lead us from browser window direct to Crystal Reports Server without Portal links rewriting. It is problem because we have access to Crystal Reports Server only from Portal Server computer. It is not accessible from users computers due to security reasons and network restrictions. Coud you help us and provide some advices how to configure this portlet in way to show reports through Portal?
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards
B.M.

Here is a list of all the communication types available. You must enter them as a comma seperated list. I personally hard code them in the WEB-INF/portlet.xml and then redeply the BOportlet.war file. If you don't want to do that, you should be able to add them by logging in to the Webspere Portal admin interface.
Portlet Management>Portlets>Document List>Configure Portlet>Page 2 edit the Communication Types.
CrystalReport, Analysis, Webi, Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Pdf, Txt, Rtf, MyInfoView, AFDashboardPage, Analytic, FullClient
I am also attaching a snippet of my portlet.xml where I added the comunication types in there.
Once these are added, when you run/view a report in the document list portlet, the report will open in the document view portlet.
Let me know if this helps.

Crystal Report Chart not showing up in Web Portal

I have a created a chart using Crystal Reports(runs fine in Crystal) and published it on our Report Server. When I went to look at the report on our Web portal, the text objects were visible however the chart was not. Portal is in JSF technology (IceFaces) on JBoss server.
Anyone know why this happening?
I founded post

Yes I did. I created file "crystalreportviewers115" in my "WEB-INF" and coped there all file from "C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\4.0\crystalreportviewers12\".
In tutorial which i founded [here|http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/businessobjectsxir2/en/en/JRC_SDK/jrc_java_dg_doc/doc/jrcsdk_java_dg/Tutorials2.html#1459845] they saying that I must copy file "crystalreportviewers115" but in my case I have "crystalreportviewers12" and:
- ChartSupport
- java
- managed
In my case i haven't file "crystalreportviewers115" but "crystalreportviewers12".
In eclipse the structure of my app (its "Dynamic Web Project") looks like:
- myapp:

Crystal Report Export not working in Server 2008

Hi
Please Help..
I am Using Crystal report Report 9 with VB 6 and SQL Server 2008. All my Client PC s (Windows XP SP3) are able to export the reports in any format but with my SERVER - (Windows Server 2008 (32 Bit)) it isn't possible. The Button is very much enabled
but when I click on it, Nothing happens.. Please Help...

Hi,
I would like to suggest you try to run SAP Crystal Reports under Compatibility Mode to check if it works.
Run in compatibility mode with administrative privilege
================================
1. Right-click the .exe file of the SAP Crystal Reports program and choose
Properties.
2. Switch to the
Compatibility tab.
3. Please check the
Run this program in compatibility mode for and choose
Windows XP (Service Pack 3).
4. Check the
Run this program as an administrator box under the
Privilege Level.
5. Click
Apply, click OK.
Note: If the option is unavailable when running this program as an administrator, it means that either the application is blocked from always
running elevated, the application does not require administrative credentials to run, or you are not logged into the computer as an administrator.
If it does not work, it is high recommended to contact your local SAP Support Engineers for further assistance. They are more familiar with their own
product.

Crystal Report Alerts not firing when no records are fetched from the DB

Hello,
The crystal report alert i have created in the report in the event of no records being fetched from the query is not firing. The condition used is isnull ( count(DB Field ) ).
Is there a limitation with alerts that they would be fired only when some records are fetched in the report.
Appreciate any pointers
-Jayakrishnan

hi Jayakrishnan,
as alerts require records to be returned here's what you will need to do:
1) delete your current alert
2) create a new formula with syntax like
isnull(DistinctCount ()) or DistinctCount () = 0
3) create a new Subreport (which you will put in a report header)
4) the subreport can be based off of any table
5) have the subreport record selection always return only 1 record...for performance reasons
6) change the subreport link to be based on the new formula
7) the link will be a one way link in that you will not use the "Select data in subreport based on field" option
8) now in the subreport, create the Alert based on the parameter created by the subreport link
i have tested this and it works great.

Link a Crystal Report report with an SQL Azure database

Hi,
I want to use my database on SQL Azure in Crystal Report. So I want to link my reports with data contained not in a local db, but in a SQL Azure one.
Insiede Crystal Report I have created a new ADO connection to my SQL Azure, providing server, db, user, password, and Crystal Report have recognized the database. But when I go to the Database Expert and I try to set this ADO connection inside my report,
I recieve this error:
"Not Implemented
Source ADODB.Connection
L'operazione richiesta non è supportata dall'oggetto o dal provider (operation not supported by the object or by the provider)"
Why? How can i use my SQL Azure data in my Crystal Report reports?
Thanks

Hi Delfins,
Please create a UDL file to test the connection, ensure the connection is fine and then use the same connection string in your Crystal Report.
For UDL file, you can refer to:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/e38h511e(VS.71).aspx
Hope this helps,

Crystal Reports 2011 not working in windows 2008 server CITRIX

Hi All,
We are using Crystal reports 2011 in windows 2008 server which is CITRIX farm., having crystal reports 2011 runtime in it..
We are using .net applicationton to run the reports.
The crystal reports parameter popup is getting opened. But the calendar icon is not fuctioning ..clicking on the calendar control no pop up appears. no error too..
OK button is not responding. Cancel button too.
Can you please help us why we are facing this issue in CITRIX only. When we are using the same version in desktop, Crystal report is working fine.
Please feel free to ask if required any more details about my problem.
Regards,
Venkat.K

Ido's idea is excellent, only addition I'd like to make is the following:
You are trying to run a .NET app. However, CR 2011 does not install any SDKs. So, the directory specified by Ido is not correct. Assuming that by CR 2011 you actually mean "SAP Crystal Reports, Developer Version for Visual Studio .NET", then the directory would be:
C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Common\Crystal Reports 2011\crystalreportviewers\prompting
If that does not help, use Process Monitor and see what the logs tell you (look for Access Denied messages).
