Upgrading to CR11 Crystal Reports 8.5 and Crystal Enterprise 8.0 problem

Hello,
We have classic ASP intranet applications, SQL Server 2000 and I use Crystal Reports 8.5 to create reports and Crystal Enterprise 8.0 to view reports in our web applications.
Recently Iu2019ve installed Crystal Reports 11 and migrated all existing reports. Now Crystal Enterprise 8.0 fails to read data from report files.
Please advise what version of Crystal Enterprise I have to upgrade to and where to get it.
Thanks in advance.

SAP B1 Crystal Reports Add On and Crystal Report 2008

Hi,
I have posted the question at SAP Reporting Forum, but not much luck.
The following reports is created in Crystal report 2008.
From http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/cr2008V1/en/CR2008_SP2_Fixed_Issues_en.pdf, I tnocie there could be moemry leak for Sybase Connectivity, but we are using ODBC.
My client is using SAP 2007 SP00 PL49, SAP Crystal Report Add on is 2.0.0.7 and they have Beas 6.70.07
They have encountered problem "The request cannot be submitted for background processing" after printing about 8 times of the same reports consecutively. It is a work order reports which my clients prints for one operations at a time, with each operations generated 8 pages of output. There are 5 jpeg on the report, which is not huge.
Yes, I am aware there could be any problem related to that.
What I notice is, on the workstation with SAP Business One client running, whenever user print a report named "Work Order", in the temp folder it creates one .rpt and 26 tmp files (Note that I have made up the number)
Work Order {C0ECP901-C6F6.......}.rpt
~cpe{51DD9109........}.tmp
~cpe{71DD9109........}.tmp
~cpe{52DD9109........}.tmp
~cpe{53DD9109........}.tmp
~cpe{54DD9109........}.tmp
At the moment, for a temporary solutions, everytimes when the error comes up, my client have to log off from SAP Business One, clear the temp folder and then relogin before they can print the same report.
Anyone encounter the problem and manage to resolve. it.
Edited by: Shwu Hua Gan on Aug 12, 2010 8:43 AM

In case anyone is interested.
I managed to drill down and get around with the following solutions. Still in progress of monitoring, but seems to solve part of the problem.
1. Open up the JPEG in Accessories--> Paint and notice that the JPEG is too big and cannot be seen without adjustting the scrolling bar. Reduce the image size seems to work.
2. The report is using dynamic graphic and reading JPEG path from a UDT with column 'type' and 'path'. Subreport is used with record selection Type='Precheck'. When there was no Precheck type JPEG, it seems to crash. We have asked client to add in type='precheck' and hyphen in path when it is not applicable. In that sense, it will return something to the report.
3. We also have subreport that read material issues. when there was no material issue in the subreport, it crash. So, we do the following:
- section express - tick suppress blank section
- right click subreport, tick suppress blank subreport.
- in Subreport, at report option, we select suppress printing when no records.
Note that workaround in point 3 does not seem to work for pictures. So, it might be worth suppressing with formulas.

Is there any difference b/w Crystal reports accessed from Crystal reports XI R2 and Crystal reports accessed from BO Eneterprise Crystal Reports Explorer

Post Author: Sriramkusumanchi
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Hi All,
We are using BO XI R2 version.
1. Under this version, the BO Enterprise product consists of Crystal Reports Explorer feature through which we can develop the crystal reports.
2. And under the same version, the Crystal Reports XI R2 product consists of Crystal Reports feature through which we can develop crystal reports.
I want to know, wheher there is any difference in the features for developing crystal reports through point 1 and point 2. If yes, then which product is the better option to go for Crystal reports development. (please note: I want the all the scheduling, automatic printing, printing on pre printed forms, etc features to be supported)
Please help us to solve this confusion ASAP.

Hi Nancy,
The server info still needs to be updated. Are you setting location for each subreport also?
Possibly this registry key will help, I only have CR 2008 installed so you'll have adjust for what ever you are using:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions - VerifyStoredProceduresOnFirstRefresh = No
and
VerifyStoredProceduresOnSetLocation = No
And
VerifyWhenDBDriverUpgraded = No
And
ViewOutOfPlaceSubreports = No
Close CR designer before making any changes. And the usual warning about modifying the registry.
Thank you
Don

Crystal Report Server xi and Crystal report 2008 Barcode

Hi, I have a crystal report server running (version xi) and have designed some reports using crystal report 2008.
My problem is that I have used barcodes in the new reports and the server throws up an error about the barcode dll.
Error message is
Unable to retrieve Object.
Error in File Report: Error in formula . 'BarcodeC39ASCII( ToText(CurrentFieldValue) )' UFL 'u2lbcode.dll' that implements this function is missing.
Can I copy this dll to the server so that it runs ?
Also, is there a crystal report server 2008, I dont see an install option on my CD?
Is my only option to purchase Crserver 2008 ?

Hi Philip,
If you check in Crystal Reports designer when you created your formula, you will notice in the 'Function Tree' of the Formula editor the DLL that responsible for 'Barcode39ASCII'. The DLL is u25azalea.dll.
Since this DLL was only shipped for CR2008 and not Crystal Reports XI there may be other dependencies. As far as the location where it should be placed for CRS-XI, it would most likely need to reside in:
\Program Files\Business Objects\common\3.x\bin

Crystal Report 2008 SP3 and BO XI 3.1 conflict

Hi every body,
We have a BOE system:
BO XI 3.1
Oracle db 10g
All running successful and can create some types of WebI report.
But we also want reports with Crystal Report.
1> So we install Crystal Report 2008 SP3 (without knowing the conflict error between BO XI 3.1 and Crystal Report 2008 SP3 and overwrite some .dll file). After installing, we can not create WebI report any more. And a error message box display: "DBDriver failed to load: C:\Program File\Business Objects\BusinessObjects ENterprise12.0\win32_x86\dataAccess\connectionServer\dbd_oci.dll ".
2> We uninstall Crystal Report SP3. But this is not the solution. Still error because of missing .dll files.
3> We open BO XI 3.1 setup and repair BO XI 3.1. Even we uninstall BO XI 3.1, delete all of its components and delete in regedit key. We install BO XI 3.1 again. Now we have full .dll file, not missing them any more. But when we open universe and click on Table browser, cannot fetching any tables.
We set rights for Oracle DB user again. But still error: cannot fetching.
4> We searched the solution for this problem on the internet. But not worked, no answer.
Can somebody help me bring back the BOE system state again ? pls :"<
T______T

Hi Paul,
I hope I read your question right!
Yes, It is possible to run XIR2 and 3.1 on the same server although it's not recommended by BO. You will need to make sure they are both pointing to different CMS databases and different FRS repositories, like you already mentioned you will need to specify different ports for the CMS db and Tomcat.
Why not uninstall Business Objects XI R2 in your BO development environment or a spare server (if you have one), and do a clean install of XI 3.1 SP3.
Tip: If you were already having performance issues with your XI R2 environment, I would seriously consider upgrading the hardware. XI 3.1 needs a bit more RAM and CPU than XI R2

Upgrade from crystal report 8.5 to crystal report 2011

Hi All,
Currently we are using crystal report 8.5 (PEAPI and dictionary files) (with VB6) to generate historical data for our product. Reports can have millions of records. We are using 2-tier architecture ( our client resides on windows machine and database
- Oracle10g dedicated server- resides on linux server).
We are planning to upgrade it to CR2011(with .NET)
My understanding is :
Crystal report designed in SAP Crystal Report 2011/SAP Crystal Reports(version for Visual Studio 2010)/.NET SDK for CR2011 and developed in VS2010 will use Crystal Reports(version for Visual Studio 2010) runtime. Please comment.
Is there any way to use PE APIs in Crystal report 2011 ? If not which is the best way to upgrade ?
Please comment.
Thanks,
Gaurav

Hello,
Not sure which viewer you are using, should be CR.Windows.Form and in code using RAS ( Report Application Server ) you'll get these options which are now controllable by you to allow all or just some:
private void ViewReport_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    rptClientDoc = rpt.ReportClientDocument;
    //crystalReportViewer1.ShowProgressAnimation(false);
    crystalReportViewer1.ShowGroupTreeButton = false;
    crystalReportViewer1.EnableDrillDown = false;
    //rpt.Refresh();
    crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = rpt;
    // next line causes a delay due to the engine having to go to the last page.
    //rpt.FormatEngine.GetLastPageNumber(new ReportPageRequestContext());
// set up the format export types:
int myFOpts = (int)(
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.RptFormat |
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.PdfFormat |
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.RptrFormat |
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.XLSXFormat |
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.CsvFormat |
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.EditableRtfFormat |
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.ExcelRecordFormat |
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.RtfFormat |
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.WordFormat |
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.XmlFormat |
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.ExcelFormat |
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.ExcelRecordFormat);
    //CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.NoFormat); // show no export types
    //int myFOpts = (int)(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.AllFormats);
crystalReportViewer1.AllowedExportFormats = myFOpts;
Only change is the Excel Export formats have changed, and no option to use the old Excel types available in CR 8.5. Search Kbase for Exporting to Excel, there is a great article on how to optimize your reports for best output.

Crystal Reports Server 2011 and BW 7 as a data source for uploaded reports.

Hello,
I am hoping someone can provide me with a clear answer for this.
Lets assume..
1. We are running crystal reports server 2011 and BW 7
2. We want to publish a report in the BI Launch pad so users can view it
3. Can we create a crystal report in the report designer with the data source as BW 7 then upload it to the reports server and have it run on-demand and Run over night?
Can anyone shed some light in this area?
kind regards
david

Hi,
Crystal Reports Server is not supporting the SAP Integration Kit. You will need BusinessObjects Edge or BusinessObjects Enterprise

Crystal Report 8.5 and 9 installed on the same box

Is it possible to have Crystal Report 8 and 9 installed on the same server?

Hi Michael,
You can install Crystal Report 8.5 and 9 on same box.
However, there are chances that dll may conflict and few issues may occur.
