Upgraded to Crystal Reports XI R2 - Project needs to be upgraded

Post Author: GlennH
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Two issues I am facing:
1. Whenever I open my existing project that I have added Crystal capabilities to I get a message box stating that "One or more projects in Solution "..." needs to be updated to use Crystal Reports XI Release 2. If you choose "Yes", the update will be applied permanently. If you choose "No", some design-time features may not work properly. Would you like to upgrade your solution?"
For this message box I always click "Yes" - everytime I open the project. Apparently permanent is not permanent!
2. After I click "Yes" above I always need to add the following two references to my web project in order to get my web solution to build without errors. The errors state something to the effect that the version referenced in my project does not match version so-and-so.
So, the problem is I can not open or build the project without user intervention. It has been frustrating for me, but will be a show-stopper when we go into the automated build process.
I am running VS 2005 with SP1 on Windows XP SP2. All project files and the .sln file are writeable.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Glenn

Having same problem. Found out that the upgrade=yes option was removing some of the assemblies in the web.config file. I now answer no every time I start VS2005.

Upgrade from Crystal report 8 to Crystal report 2013

Dear all,
Need some information pertaining to upgrade of Crystal report 8 to Crystal report 2013 (to be invoked from thick client .NET applications)
Is it possible to directly upgrade from 8 to 2013 ? Or should there be a move to intermediate version before going to 2013 ?
How is the upgrade generally done ? (do we just open the report and save in new version, or do they have any upgrade wizard)
What are the typical issues we may face while going from lower version to higher version (I understand queries may break, format and layout may change. Are there any other issues specific to upgradation.
Regards,
Jain

Hi Jain,
Moved your post to .NET Forums.
Since CR 8.0 is 12 or more years old there is no "upgrade path" now. The Database drivers have all changed and the Parameter API's have also.
Best way is to get CR 2011 and manually open each and every report and update the DB connection using the Set Table Location, this requires updating the DB Client to current versions also.
Note there are some old legacy DB sources no longer available so that can be a problem also.
CR 8 is not Side By Side compatible with any other version so make sure it's not installed on the same PC. It will never work and cause all sorts of problems for you.
Basic report layout stayed the same but Printing has changed a lot also so search here, lots of post on the subject.
For more help need to know your data source also?
And check the Overview Tab, on the left side, lots of resources and samples to get you started.
Also, first warning is set your project to X86 and the full Framework, do not use the Client version.
And the SDK is no longer shipped with CR Designer install, VS installer and redist packages are all available from here:

Crystal Reports Server XI upgrade to Crystal Reports Server 2008

I have downloaded the Crystal Reports Server 2008 upgrade from the portal. Questions:
The "Upgrading Your Crystal Reports Server Delpoyment from XI or XI Relase 2 to Crystal Rpeorts Server 2008" (simple install) documentation mentions that the installer should recognize my installation and prompt to upgrade. Instead, the first prompt that I get is for a license key. Is this normal, or should the application be seeing my existing install?
If I do indeed need a 2008 license key, how do I obtain one? It will not accept may CRXI Server keys, and I cannot see anyplace to download the new keys.
Any help would be appreciated.
Jeff

Hi,
I think you can request for new keys:
For a new key:
Request key codes for new orders via SAP Marketplace (SMP), will receive a download letter on new purchases providing them with their SMP login credentials. Using these credentials you can login and click in the "Keys & Requests" tab > Request a License key.
If your Key code does not work
You need create a customer message https://websmp107.sap-ag.de/message using component XX-SER-LIKEY-BOJ.

Upgrading from CRYSTAL REPORTS XI TO X1 RELEASE 2

CA Forum: Migration to XI R2
Hi there
We have crystal reports XI running on our production server. We have now our application converted to Visual Studio 2005 and in order to use crystal reports with Visual Studio 2005 we need to upgrade to crystal reports Release 2 version.
If we decide to update with Release 2 version , should the production servers need also be updated ? Or when the application built in VS 2005 is deployed to production will deploy the Release 2 version crystal dlls to the server which already has Crystal Reports XI.
Any information will be advisable.
Thanks again

I'm having the same issue. Worked fine for me in XI, but stopped working when I upgraded XI to XI R2.
Please post a follow-up if you get this resolved! Thanks!

Where can I find the latest upgrades for Crystal Reports 2008

Hello all
My question is rather simple, I need to know. Where can I find the latest upgrades for:
1) Crystal Reports 2008 Merge Modules
2) Crystal Reports 2008 Runtimes.
Are they incremental upgrades ????
Thanks in advance..

Upgradation of Crystal reports from 7.0 to 11.0

Upgradation of Crystal reports from 7.0 to 11.0I have reports created in CR 7.0 which need to upgraded to CR XI. These upgraded reports are accessed though an application developed in VC++. To view the report created in CR 7.0, i have used PDSODBC.DLL and CRPE32.DLL. What DLLs should be used for the upgraded reports.Thanks in advanceRajkumar S

It will take more than just the .dll files - there are MAJOR changes in the object model when you move to XI.Â You'll want to check the samples in the Developer Library (the link is in the menu above...)Â
Click on "Viewers SDK", "Developer Guides and API Reference", and "COMÂ developerÂ guideÂ andÂ APIÂ reference" for documentation.Â There is also a "Samples" link.Â I haven't found specific C++ examples, but there are ASP and Java examples that you can work from.

Upgrading to Crystal Reports 2011 from Crystal Reports XI

Hi,
I hope someone can provide some assistance. I am a current user of Crystal Reports XI and am upgrading my notebook to Windows 7 so therefore need to upgrade my version of Crystal.
I have downloaded a trail of CR2011 and installed. I am wanting to purchase the new version but what to know if I am able to purchase the Upgrade or need to purchase the Full Version ?
Which ever way I go, can I simply relicence the version I have installed or do I need to uninstall and re-install ?
It is being installed on the same notebook although the HDD has been replaced.
I look forward to your assistance.
Thanks,
Shaun

"Load report failed" after upgrading to Crystal Report for VS 2010

I switched to Visual Studio 2010 few months ago. Today, I needed to update my Crystal Report reports, so I installed the Crystal Report for Visual Studio 2010 on my local server. I updated my reports and it works fine on my local server.
On my remote server, I installed the Crystal Report runtime engine for Framework 4.0 (note that my project use the framework 3.5) and published my project. But now I got the following error when I want to create a report "Load report failed". I double-checked the path of my report and its permissions (note that it was working before the update).
Am I missing a step ?
Thanks for your help.

Googling 'FILE LOCKED WITH ONLY READERS' I came up with the following:
http://forum.sysinternals.com/topic21378.html
So, no, that does not appear to be the issue.
However my assertion - given that the correct dlls are loading - is still that either the report is not there (do you see it loaded in Process Monitor?) or the process has no access to either the actual rpt or the temp files that the print engine creates. Those really are the only reasons for report load errors.
This being a web app, try a simple win app - as a test. All you need is the viewer and CrystalreportViewer1.ReportSource = <path to report> (use a saved data report). Compile, throw the exe on the server. Run. What happens there?

Upgrade from crystal report 4 to crystal report 11

hi,i have an old application developed use vb5.0 and crystal report 4,
now i want to upgrade it to vb6.0 and cystall report 11, does the cystal report 4 and 11 are compatiable?

Hello,
Crystal Report 4.6 reports are pretty old. There have been 3 or 4 major code rewrites to Crystal Reports between CR 4.6 to CR XI. I think your CR 4.6 reports will run from CR XI but I can't be sure. I haven't seen CR 4.6 in quite a few years and have never tested it. You will probably want to update the old reports to CR XI. To update the reports open them in CR XI and save them in the CR XI format. Please be sure to keep back up copies of the original CR 4.6 reports.
Your VB application will have to be migrated to a different component. The Crystal OCX (crystl32.ocx) that was available in CR 4.6 was retired after CR8.5. In order to run your CR XI reports you'll need to migrate your VB6 application to the Report Designer Component (RDC) object model.
There are a number of documents that will help you with the code migration. Here are some links:
[Migrating to the RDC in CR9|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/105181db-cb1d-2b10-38a4-b0a30e268e40] - applies to CR 9/10/11/11.5
Upgrading from CR4.6 to CR9/10/11/11.5 is essentially the same. The above document was written for CR9 specifically; however it will work for CR10/11/11.5. You will have to make minor adjustments to account for DLL file name changes (e.g. crviewer9.dll in CR9 vs. crviewer.dll in CR10/11/11.5).
You will also want to review the changes to [database connectivity|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/0003c6cc-891e-2b10-678e-8b1a2dd96556] at runtime from earlier versions of Crystal Reports compared to CR XI.
Here's the link to the [Online SDK Library|https://boc.sdn.sap.com/developer/library] - this includes the RDC SDK.
[RDC 10 Sample Applications|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006012702008E/rdc10_smpl.exe].
Please note that the RDC has been retired with the release of Crystal Reports 2008. Crystal Reports XI Release 2 (v11.5) is the last version of Crystal Reports that is shipping with the RDC. While you can migrate your application to the RDC for CR XI or CR XI R2 you may want to start planning for future releases of your application since the RDC will no longer be available. The upgrade path for the RDC is to move to the CR .NET object model. Here is the [RDC Statement of Direction|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/80bd35e5-c71d-2b10-4593-d09907d95289].

Upgrade of Crystal Reports from version 7 to 2011.

I have a LIMS system that uses Crystal 7 to generate Certificates of Analysis (COAs) for products that my company produces. The LIMS app resides on a terminal server and user connect to the terminal server via citrix. The app has been around since 2000 and is running on Windows Server 2000. The crystal 7 is apparently a runtime version.
I have been tasks with upgrading the terminal server to Windows 2008 64 bit server. I have installed the app on the server and the app performs as it should except for printing the COAs. I downloaded a trial version of Crystal Reports 2011. I can open and print COAs from with the Crystal 2011 application.
The App Devloper states that the existing system uses a call to crpe32.dll to print the reports. When I try generate a COA I get the following errors.
Crystal Reports error:525
Function: PEOpenPrintJob has reported an error.
There is something wrong with the report you are trying to open.
Crystal Reports error:512
Function: GeneralPrint has reported an error.
The print engine must be open for the call to be sucessful. Your code is lacking a PEOpenEngine call.
The crpe32.dll file is in the application root directory, in the c:windows\system32 directory, and the c:\prgram files(x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0/win32_x86 directory.
This may be more information that needed. Anyway, any Idea how to get my app to print from Crystal Reports 2011.

Hi Deano,
Using Crystal 7 runtimes on Windows Server 2008 is really not a good idea.
Please take a look at
Crystal Reports Developer Solutions - Flexible Options for Developers
Crystal Reports Legacy SDKs Upgrade Options
Blog by Ludek on CR2011 can be useful here.
Do look at it.
So, what's up with CR 2011 and .NET SDK - actually, any SDK?
Thanks,

Upgrading from Crystal Reports Server V0 to V1

We're looking into upgrading Crystal Reports Server V0 to V1. According to the upgrade guide we have to do a complete uninstall of our V0 before installing V1. It seems risky to uninstall before we have a working version of the upgrade. Wondering if anyone out there has gone through this process and if so what were your experiences? Did you have a method to test the upgrade process before uninstalling V0?
Thanks!

Crystal Reports 2008 Page Header needed on all pages.

I have Crystal Reports 2008.
In my report I need the Page Header and Page Footer to appear on all pages.
When I have over 50 detail records/lines the Page Header appears on only odd pages, the Page Footer is OK on all pages.
How do I change the Page Header to print on all pages in CR 2008?

Thanks what work was creating a Page Header b and moving all header info there.
This report has 4 levels of groupings and I am finding that group effects a lot.

Crystal Report-Amount in Words Need correction and Delivery date.

Dear Experts,
Issue 1
                        In crystal reports i'm converting Amount in to words using the following formula. In that i am getting Every thing in Uppercase with - i.e. RUPEES ONE THOUSAND-FIVE HUNDRED AND .
I need in Sentence case i.e all First Letters in Capital and also want to Remove '-'
Amount in Word
numbervar RmVal:=0;
numbervar Amt:=0;
numbervar pAmt:=0;
stringvar InWords :="Rupees ";
Amt := {OPOR.DocTotal};
if Amt > 10000000 then RmVal := truncate(Amt/10000000);
if Amt = 10000000 then RmVal := 1;
if RmVal = 1 then
InWords := InWords + " " + towords(RmVal,0) + " crore"
else
        if RmVal > 1 then InWords := InWords + " " + towords(RmVal,0) + " crores";
    Amt := Amt - Rmval * 10000000;
    if Amt > 100000 then RmVal := truncate(Amt/100000);
    if Amt = 100000 then RmVal := 1;
    if RmVal = 1 then
        InWords := InWords + " " + towords(RmVal,0) + " lakhs"
    Else
        If RmVal > 1 then InWords := InWords + " " + ToWords(RmVal,0) + "Lakhs";
        Amt := Amt - Rmval * 100000;
        if Amt > 0 then InWords := InWords + " " + towords(truncate(Amt),0);
        pAmt := (Amt - truncate(Amt)) * 100;
        if pAmt > 0 then
            InWords := InWords + " and " + towords(pAmt,0) + " paisa only"
        else
            InWords := InWords + " only";
        UPPERCASE(InWords)
Issue 2.
At Delivery terms I'm using the following formula to display the delivery data. If the document date and due date is same it will print Delivery Immediate otherwise it should calculate the Delivery date from document date, but now it's printing DocDue date.
I need to calculate Delivery Date = DocDuedate - DocDate.
If {OPOR.DocDate} = {OPOR.DocDueDate} Then
    "2. Delivery immediate"
Else
    "2. Delivery on or before " & {OPOR.DocDueDate}
Thanks
Kamal

Upgrade from Crystal Reports 10

We have an web application written with dot net 1.1 and it has many reports running on crystal reports 10.0 .It was on windows 2003. Now we have migrated app to frameowrk 4.0 and we planed to run it on windows 2008 server. As you may guess reports became a problem when we deploy it on windows 2008. I found many thread about this problem. But None of them show a way to over come it. I want to now how can i get rid of crystal report V10 and make my app work on windows 2008 ? Should we buy a newer version of Crystal Report Server?If then, does just installing it solve my problem?Or Is there a way to convert them?
Please show me a way.I 'm soo confused
Thanks

I'll be making a lot of assumptions as you are not providing enough coherent information. Assumption is that you are using VS2010. In that case you need [Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/crystalreports-dotnet].
Re.; I want to now how can i get rid of crystal report V10 and make my app work on windows 2008 ?
- See above. Also, see the wiki [Crystal Reports v. 9.1 to CRVS2010 Runtime Distribution & Supported Operating Systems|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/x/b4JiAw]
Should we buy a newer version of Crystal Report Server?
- Depends. Were you using CR Server? Or were you using Crystal Reports?
If then, does just installing it solve my problem?Or Is there a way to convert them?
- Would be nice to know what the problem is? Errors? Symptoms? Behavior?
