TROUBLE VIEWING DYNAMIC .JPG WITH CRYSTAL WEBSITE VIEWER

With Crystal XI using Website Viewer our report dynamic .jpg is not visible, only showing a red x. It is working fine when previewed in Crystal or if printed as a .pdf from Crystal viewer but not directly Crystal Website Viewer. The graphic location in the Format Formula Editor is linked to a SQL table. Any help with this would be excellent. Thanks, Jayne

Viewing sub reports with Crystal Viewer XI

I am getting an error message when I try to open up a Crystal Report that has sub reports included.
"This report contains invalid subreport linking parameters."
Any ideas on how I can save report with sub-reports so that they can be read with Crystal Reports Viewer XI offline?

Hi Anders
Are you getting the error message in Crystal Report Designer or Crystal Report Viewer?
Would suggest you to follow the below steps in Crystal Report Designer:
-Create a fresh report,in which insert linked sub report based off your database.
-Create a fresh report,in which insert linked sub report based off Xtreme Sample Database.
With this we can narrow down the issue ,whether this error occurs with this particular report or all report?
Thanks

Problem with Crystal report viewer

I am using Crystal viewer 2008 with Crystal report 2008.
I am using a static parameter. When running with viewer I can not clik on modify to change the parameter because the modify button is grey.
Help ty.
Also where can I read limit of using Crystal Viewer ?
And how much to get something better ?

You can update the parameters using Crystal Viewer 2008. I had the same problem with the "CHANGE" button being grayed out.
Go to your Report -> Select Expert -> and now you have three choices: Record, Group, Saved Data. Put your select statement using your parameters in the Saved Data only (remove it from Record if already there).
It works awesome and even works on dynamic parameters!

Problem with Crystal Report Viewer and Dual Monitors

Post Author: jtgoff
CA Forum: .NET
Hey Guys,
I'm running into another problem with the Crystal Report Viewer. Here's a little info before I get started, I'm developing a Windows App using WinForms in VS2005 and Crystal 11 Release 2. I'm referencing all the latest Crystal dlls from Service Pack 2 of Crystal 11 Release 2. The problem occurs when I drag my Windows Form that contains a Crystal Report Viewer onto my second monitor and try to scroll or resize it, when I try this the Report Document within the Viewer becomes glitchy, blocky, and un-readable. I drag it back onto my main monitor and perform the same actions and the Report appears perfectly fine. I notice this occurs after a number of Report Previews through my App. Initially when I start my App, I can drag the reports onto my second monitor and resize it and scroll through it no problem. However, after a number of Previews, I notice the problem occurs on my second monitor. This is a very strange bug that doesn't produce an error and appears to happen randomly. I was wondering if anyone has come across this problem, if so... Is there a solution for this?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Its a best practice to use the code given below in the unload event of the page or the code can also be written in a button press event so that the disposing is ensured manually(If sessions are in use).
boReportDocument.Close();
boReportDocument.Dispose();
GC.Collect();
Note: boReportDocument is the object of ReportDocument.
This code disposes the report object after using it.
Check the issue with [filemon|http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896642.aspx] utility.

Problems using Dynamic parameters with Crystal Reports and SBO 8.8

Has anyone been able to successfully use a dynamic parameter in Crystal Reports with 8.8 using the Business One connector? When we try we get an additional logon to the database that pops up and the logon fails.
We need this because we want to return live lists of PO documents from the server for selection. We are also trying to use nested dynamic parameters, because we want to first return the PO document based on the PO number, and then chose specific rows based on a field value in POR1.
It works if we don't use the Business One connector, but then the report doesn't function properly inside of SAP.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

I have tried using tokens but they are too simple. I need something like a subselect where you first select one value and then another that is a subset of those values. Apparently the tokens can't even use a "where" clause.
SAP dances around Dynamic parameters, but won't come out and say that they can't be used with the B1 connector. If that is the case then they should just say so and stop wasting our time. Apparently Crystal is not truely interfaced with B1, just sort of hanging out with it.
I don't really care other than I have to do this select, subselect. If someone has a way to do that with tokens I would love to hear it.
Thanks,
Roy

Unable to view Dynamic Prompts in Crystal Reports through JSP

Hi,
We are using Crystal Reports, SQL Server and Java in our application. We are using JSP to access Crystal Reports from another machine, get them as "ReportClientDocument" objects and then display them using "CrystalReportInteractiveViewer" object. We are able to view reports with Static Paramter values, but when we try to access reports with Dynamic Parameter values the parameter fields are not visible. It doesn't show any error but we can't see the parameter values.
Any help in this regard will be great. Thanks in advance.

Hi Ted,
We are using the JAVA SDK to fetch the report. These are the steps we do using java.
- Log in to the Crystal Enterprise
- Get the Report Application Factory from Crystal Enterprise
- Get the InfoStore service from Crystal Enterprise
- Retrieve the report by name from Crystal Enterprise
- Open the report in a ReportClientDocument
- Instantiate a CrystalReportInteractiveViewer
- Get the report source from the ReportClientDocument and set it as source for the CrystalReportInteractiveViewer
- Process the HTTP request to view the report
Please let me know if you need any further info.

Paging problem with Crystal Report Viewer in VS 2013

I am attempting to upgrade a VS 2008 project that uses a dozen plus Crystal Reports to display data for our owners.
The problem that i am having is with navigating to other pages of any multiple page report using the paging buttons of the Report Viewer control. The report will load fine and display the first page. If I try and go to page two an overlay covers the screen and a progress graphic displays and will never go away. I have to stop debugging the project and restart it. I have been able to get the paging buttons to work if I click on one of the asp.net buttons that I have added to the page that run the .ShowFirstPage(), .ShowNextPage();.ShowPreviousPage(); or .ShowLastPage(); methods of the ReportViewer control. When in click on one of these buttons an error displays within the ReportViewer control that reads simply "ERROR". From there I can click on one of the asp.net button described above and the report displays and at this time the navigation buttons work as expected.
The parameters are being set via a series of asp controls and then stored in ViewState then passed to the ParameterFieldInfo of the ReportViewer control.
This all works just fine in VS 2008 project but I have not been able to resolve the paging issue since upgrading.
Does anyone have any ideas as two what may be causing this behavior?

Thanks for your reply.
I am on SP 9.
I moved the block assigning the report source of the ReportViewer to the Page_Init method, but that did not change anything.
The reports are loaded when the user clicks on a link button specifying the report that they wish to view. In the click event of the button a method is called to set the LogOnInfo for each table of the reportsource;
Tables tables = reportSource.ReportDocument.Database.Tables;
foreach ( CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table table in tables ) {
var logonInfo = table.LogOnInfo;
logonInfo.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo;
table.ApplyLogOnInfo( logonInfo );
Then all the parameters are set;
crvReportViewer.Visible = true;
crvReportViewer.ParameterFieldInfo.Clear();
SetDateValuesForParameterFields();
SetEquipClassValuesForParameterFields();
crvReportViewer.ParameterFieldInfo = paramFields;
crvReportViewer.ParameterFieldInfo.AddRange( equipClassParamFields );
Session[ "CurrentReportSource" ] = crvReportViewer.ReportSource;
Then in the Page_Init I assign the ReportSource of the ReportViewer control;
if (Session["CurrentReportSourceId"] != null)
crvReportViewer.ReportSource = Session["CurrentReportSource"];
And in Page_Load;
if ( Page.IsPostBack ) {
ApplicationSettings appSettings = AppConfigSettings.LoadSettings();
connectionInfo.ServerName = appSettings.PrimarySettings.Server;
connectionInfo.DatabaseName = appSettings.PrimarySettings.DataSource;
connectionInfo.UserID = appSettings.PrimarySettings.UserId;
connectionInfo.Password = appSettings.PrimarySettings.Password;
startDate.Name = "StartDate";
endDate.Name = "EndDate";
trailerNumber.Name = "TrailerNumber";
location.Name = "LocationId";
equipClass.Name = "EquipClass";
txtStartDate.Focus();
When in run this the reports will populate and display the first page but if I try to navigate to another page I get a error;
Unhandled exception at line 12, column 82761 in http://localhost:63034/aspnet_client/system_web/4_0_30319/crystalreportviewers13/allInOne.js
0x800a138f - Java Script runtime error: Unable to get property 'length' of undefined or null reference
And on the screen there is a wait spinner.
This all works fine in the VS2008 project.
Thanks,
Shannon

Unfortunately you cant. Design view is only a 'guidance' POV. Use Live View to see how it will really look like or test on browser.

Problem in crystal report viewer control's toolbar "export"button using SSL

Hi,
I would like to ask. My project is using BO XI Release 2 and VS-Studio 2005. Initially my project doesn't use SSL... At that time when i view the report with crystal report viewer control and can export (using built-in toolbar "export button"). Now project is using SSL and canu2019t export the error is
u201CInternet Explorer cannot download file from server.
Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later.u201D
Actually this error can solve "Cache-control" change to "no-cache". But I donu2019t know in crystal reportu2026
Anyone can help ???
Thanks

In Internet Explorer, go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced and ensure "Do not save encrypted pages to disk" is unchecked.
Default is to have that option checked.
It was considered a IE security issue that IE saves all content to temp disk location unencrypted, even those pages served by HTTPS (for example, let's say you use HTTPS to download your bank info, and it's stored to temp disk for someone else to retrieve later). So more recent versions of IE implemented that option setting.
How that option setting works is strange - it downloads the file, saves to disk, then deletes the copy from the disk immediately, before passing it to the application responsible for the MIME type. So the application tries to open a directory path to a non-existing file.
Issue is specific to IE, and it's not something you can control via the SDK.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

BO XI R2 - "Blank "Crystal Reports Viewer" window - attempt to print report

My company recently set up a Business Object Enterprise XI Release 2 server. On the server are a number of crystal reports that are run interactively by users, through the user console. The expectation is that the user will log on to the BI server, click on the report title, enter the parameters, see a preview of the report in the Crystal Report Viewer, then click the print icon on the Crystal Report Viewer toolbar.
Our corporate standard is current Windows XP SP3, with Internet Explorer 8; By default, users are set up to use the DHTML report viewer. The reports were developed with the Crystal Reports XI R2 report designer, and connect to an Oracle 10g database through Oracle client.
When users attempt to view, then print the reports, the user is able to select the report, enter the parameters, view the report data, and even page through the report preview with no issues. However, when the user attempts to print the report by clicking the print icon on the Crystal Reports Viewer toolbar, a blank "Crystal Reports Viewer" window pops up and remains indefinitely.
The really puzzling thing about this issue is that for about 1/3 of our users, printing will work - a print dialog will appear, allowing the user to select a printer, and when the user clicks OK, the report will print. For the other 2/3 of our users, the blank "Crystal Reports Viewer" window pops up.
I have added the BO XI R2 server's address to trusted sites, adopted the lowest security settings for trusted sites, and enabled all activity I could think of in IE security settings (ActiveX controls-related). I also ran the web site in compatibilitiy mode.
Has anyone on this forum experienced this issue, and does anyone here know how to resolve it?
Thank you,
Bob Gardner

I suspect that this behavior occurs because the client computer is unable to download ActiveX controls.
The report viewer requires the PrintControl.dll to print reports from the client computer. The PrintControl.dll downloads automatically if it has not been previously downloaded on to the client computer, provided that the user that is currently logged on is able to download ActiveX controls.
To enable the download of ActiveX controls on the client computer, perform the following steps:
1) Open your Internet Explorer.
2) From the Tools menu, select Internet Options.
3) In the Security tab, select the web content zone that corresponds to your web application.
4) Click Custom Level.
5) In the Security Settings dialog box, scroll down to find the ActiveX controls and plug-ins section.
6) Select Enable or Prompt for the Download signed ActiveX controls item.
7) The print dialog box will now appear successfully when clicking the print button in the report viewer.
If the above does not help, try to troubleshoot this as follows:
1) click the print button (this will cause a postback to the web page) and then cancel the print dialog. right-click in the web page and select "View Source".
2) Search for the word "printcontrol.cab". This will show you where the application is trying to download the printcontrol from.
Paste the URL into a browser.
3) If you get prompted to "open or save to disk" the url is correct and there is a browser setting or possibly even a system policy preventing the download.
4) If you get a "404 page not found" or a similar error message, investigate the URL.
5) If the issue is on your local web server, see if it is possible to browse to the URL in IIS manager.

I couldn't use Crystal Report Viewer Control in my ASPX page.

Please I'm having a problem with crystal report viewer control which I couldn't resolve. I'm using VS 2008 and Framework 3.5.
I building an ASP web application and when I add a CrystalReportViewer to my ASPX page I'm getting the following
error.
"Error 20 Type 'CrystalDecisions.Web.CrystalReportViewer' is not defined."
I think maybe because I'm not having the right reference file. I'm using Crystal Reports 2008 and also I installed the following
Service Packs:
cr121_redist_install
CR2008-SP1
CR2008SP1-Fixes 1 and 2
cr121_clickonce
I check all the reference files in my project and they are as follow:
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine (12.0.2000.0)
C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\4.0\managed\dotnet2\CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll
CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.Framework (12.0.1100.0)
C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\4.0\managed\CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.Framework.dll
C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\4.0\managed\CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.InfoStore.dll (12.0.1100.0)
C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\4.0\managed\dotnet2\CrystalDecisions.ReportSource.dll (12.0.2000.0)
C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\4.0\managed\dotnet2\CrystalDecisions.Shared.dll (12.0.2000.0)
Please Why I'm getting this problem? How I can resolve it?
Thanks.

If you have a viewer on one of your forms, delete it off the form and re-add it, ensuring that the crystalreports.web assembly referenced in your project is version 12.

Crystal Report Viewer & Parameters

Hello,
I have designed a report n Crystal Reports and works on my machine fine. When I preview the report it ask me what parameters I want to search for. When I tried to view this report in Crystal Reports viewer it doesn't ask me. So I learned that I need Crystal Report Server (using 2013 for both Server and Report Writer) and now I am stuck what I need to do. I have downloaded a trail version (intent to purchase it works as I need to) of Crystal Server and used it defaults. I just need some help in direction in what I need to do on Server and Report side to make this report work on the View Side to prompt the user to enter in parameters. When I saved my report I deselected the Save Data to Report. I have tried to look for documents in what I need and came up with a road block or not sure what I really looking for. And I am sorry that I still a newbie for this software.
Thank you,
Gerald

Hi,
Try to use the parameter panel to change the parameter value of the report in the Viewer:
Open the report in Crystal Reports Designer.
Edit the parameter.
Change the Show on (Viewer) Panel value to Editable
Republish to Enterprise
