Using ISCRCommandTable in the Reports Application Server

Hi
We have a report that is linked to a Command but the query may be constructed in different ways (using different tables). In past we've pushed the data to the report but I was looking into pulling the data.
I thought it might be possible to create a Command Object then edit the CommandText Property in code using the RAS API (inproc). Though it's possible to set the CommandText this does not seem to effect the data displayed. Is there a reason for this? Am I doing something wrong?
       Dim mySampleReportPath As String = "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\SetCommandtext\Report1.rpt"
        rd.Load(mySampleReportPath)
        ' Access the ReportClientDocument API in-process using the ReportDocument class.
        rcd = rd.ReportClientDocument
       'Change SQL in Command.
        Dim c As CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ISCRCommandTable
        With rcd.DataDefController.Database.Tables
            c = .Item(.FindByAlias("Command"))
            c.CommandText = "SELECT name, '123' as test FROM Checklist"
            rcd.DataDefController.ParameterFieldController.SetCurrentValue("", "test", "USA")
            rcd.DataDefController.ParameterFieldController.SetCurrentValue("", "title", c.CommandText)
        End With
        ' Set the report source of the Crystal Report viewer to the instance of the report.
        myCrystalReportViewer.ReportSource = rd
Cheers
Alex

    Any ideas how to fix this?

    There is a good process for getting bugs fixed. However, you will have to provide a reliable way of reproducing the issue. E.g.; I can not go to R&D and ask that they fix a bug with a report that sometimes works and sometimes does not work.
    I suspect the best way to approach this, will be to actually see the report and try to determine what part of the report may be the issue. To be able to share the report, you will have to create a phone case here:
    http://store.businessobjects.com/store/bobjamer/DisplayProductByTypePage&parentCategoryID=&categoryID=11522300
    and discuss this at length with a support engineer.

    Hello,
    Whoever wrote the CustomCodeGenerator will have to help you with this one. We know nothing about the underlying code they are using and therefore can't determine the cause.
    Appears the error is it can't even load the report so there is something wrong with the workings. Open the report again in CR Designer and Verify Database and then check the changes you did. Something is not right or the DB driver their application is using does not match with what you are using.

    Hi,
    I am trying to replicate the same issue on new desktop which has crystal reports 9.1 & 10 installed. I still see crystal reports 9.1 controls when i open VS.net. when i compare both desktop installed softwares, i found that the other desktop has "Crystal Reports 10 .NET runtime installed" which is not there on the new desktop. please advise whether i need to install this software to get ver 10 components installed? Appreciate your help on this. can you also advise the software download location for 10 .net run time installation?
    In other words, though crystal reports 10 got installed on this desktop but it is not getting referenced in VS.NET. I am seeing only 9.1 version assemblies are being used. hence my solution is not getting compiled in this desktop. Please advise how to get the version 10 assemblies referenced in the solution

  • What causes The Report Application Server failed exception?

    My environment:
    Windows Server 2008 R2  8 cores 6 gig of ram.
    A Windows Service running:
    Oracle 11g
    Oracle 11.2 64 bit client
    C# 4.0 Framwork
    Crystal Reports Visual Studio 2010 13.0.2000
    This window service needs to create 1100 pdf documents generated by crystal reports per hour for a minimum of 8 hours straight.
    These pdf files are written on the local file system.
    The Windows Service runs 3 threads per core.  Each thread can run up to 5 individual CR .rpt files in a sequential order.
    After 4000 pdf documents created, I get the following errors.
    1) The Report Application Server failed
    2) Server is out of memory.
    3)  Not enough memory for operation.
    4) Invalid report file path.
    Using Windows Task Manager Resource Monitor I noticed the following:
    After running 3000 pdf report requests, I stopped the processing pdf reports and noticed hundreds of
    \BaseNamedObjects\CrystalReportXalanInitizeMutex(Pid of my process)
    Why are they there after a close and dispose of the ReportDocument object?

  • CrystalReport - Getting "The Report Application Server failed" while export

    Hi Experts,
    I am using Crystal Reports 2008 in my ASP.NET application to generate reports. Everythings works fine in the development environment. When I deploy it on my Windows Server 2003 system, I get an error "The Report Application Server failed" while exporting the report from the report control. But, the report assuch is working fine even in the production environement. I experience this issue only while exporting to excel or anyother format.
    Do I need to configure anything or any settings needs to be turned on in the .rpt files!!
    Appreciate any help to get this issue resolved.
    TIA,
    Prem

    First a confirmation. When you say; "...exporting the report from the report control...", you mean the printer button on the viewer?
    Questions;
    What version of .NET?
    What Crystal Reports Service Pack are you on?
    How was the CR runtime installed on the server?\
    Can you print the report OK?
    Are you using sessions?

  • "The Report Application Server failed"

    We are using ASP.NET 4.0 and Crystal 2008 (v12.3) to execute Crystal reports on a scheduled basis. Everything works fine for a while and then we get the error:

    I know this is over kill, but I got it from an earlier post in this forum.
    Thank you for the article.  It suggest I could be running into the default print Job limit.  I'll try editing the registry as the document suggests.
    I'm getting 3 different exceptions, do you think possbly they are all related?

  • How to see the log file on the Reports Application server?

    Hi,
    I am new to this Reports, please correct me if i am wrong or in the wrong forum, we have a java based front-end application which calls oracle reports to display requested reports. We are using oracle reports (9i/10g). I need work on a report, It is working fine if i provide parameters on the report itself, but if i run from the application it is not running properly. I want to see the parameters the application is sending to this report, is there any way that i can some log file or any other one on the report server?
    thanks,

    Thank you.
    When you fire the processes to the report server you
    can trace the report with the following parameter:
    RWCLIENT.EXE SERVER=my_server
    TRACEFILE=c:\my_trace.trc
    TRACEMODE=TRACE_REPLACE
    TRACEOPTS=TRACE_ALL

        Namespace="CrystalDecisions.Web" TagPrefix="CR" %>
    Now, in my code behind I am simply trying to open a pre-built crystal report that came in the sample pack
    When I try and do this in our already built website I get an error:
    "Load report failed"
    With the inner exception saying:
    "The Report Application Server failed"
    This same piece of code works perfectly if I build a new website, however when I try and impliment this into our existing code base I get the error shown above.  Also the samples I've used all use .NET 3.5 and the website is in 2.0.  I'm not sure if that is a factor or not but that is also another piece of information that could be useful.
    Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you for you're time.

  • Getting error: Report Application Server failed

    I started posting my problem in thread below and have been advised to continue in this forum
    Reference thread: The Report Application Server failed
    My problem occurs in a asp application (vb 2005) and also when I run the Crystal Report stand alone (xi rel 2).
    The asp application does not render any other messages than "report Application Server Failed" but running the CR stand alone I get  "error formatting cross tab object". Whenver I get this message and if I switch page setting (either from landscape to portrait or portrait to landscope) it work for the report in question.
    I have now advanced a little further in trying to solve the issue or at least find what is wrong. I have created a .net windows application where I export the CR to disk
    Dim DiskOpts As CrystalDecisions.Shared.DiskFileDestinationOptions = New CrystalDecisions.Shared.DiskFileDestinationOptions
    myCrystalReport1.ExportOptions.ExportDestinationType = CrystalDecisions.[Shared].ExportDestinationType.DiskFile
    myCrystalReport1.ExportOptions.ExportFormatType = CrystalDecisions.[Shared].ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat
    DiskOpts.DiskFileName = ReportPath & ReportName
    myCrystalReport1.ExportOptions.DestinationOptions = DiskOpts
    myCrystalReport1.Export()
    I get the same problems, some reports will not let me export and I am getting error:
    CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.InternalException: The Report Application Server failed ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800003E5): The Report Application Server failed

       at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.FormatEngine.Export()
       at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.Export()
    My default page set up is landscape and  if I now reverse the page set up like: myCrystalReport1.PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Portrait it will let me export.
    My windows application exports hundreds of reports in a single run and by toggling between landscape and portrait I manage to get it working when I get an export error (like above).
    Was hoping that anyone couldm point me in a good direction, I've been fighting this problems for many days now and I do not have a solution as to why this is happening. Thank you.

    Hi, 
    The cross-tab reports that are causing this error, do they have any formatting formulas on any of the objects? 
    Are your using any running totals or setting the Evaluation Time using WhilePrintingRecords? 
    I've run into this problem with crosstabs when I created a Display String formula using Running Totals. 
    The report cannot render the report because the running total is conflicting with the results of the crosstab. 
    When you right-click an object and go to Format Field.  In the Common tab if the Display String has a formula set, remove or comment it out.  Do this for all the objects and try running the report again. 
    Good luck,
    Brian

  • Problems starting Crystal Reports Page Server and Report Application Server

    Hi,
    We have migrated to a new server and I have re-installed our Crystal Reports Server XI R1.
    It is being installed on a Windows 2003 SBS Premium Server with MSSQL 2005 Workstation Edition
    I have been told that I need to start the following Crystal services after installation.
    1) Crystal Reports Page Server
    2) Report Application Server
    These services simply wont start
    When I try to start Crystal Reports Page Server, I get a Visual Studio Just-In-Time Debugger window that says...
    An unhandled Win32 exception occured in pageserver.exe [14892], subsequently, another window pops up [svrmgr] that says
    "The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion"
    Also, when I try to start the Report Application Server, I get another VS JIT debugger window that says
    An unhandled win32 exception occurred in crystalras.exe [12748]
    I also get the same SvcMgr Window that says..."The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion"
    Thanks all
    Paul

  • Report Application Server won't start. CCM always says Starting....

    I am complete newbie to doing admin for Crystal Servers, forgive the question:
    (Win Server 2003 r 2 / CR XI)
    Report Application Server won't start which is preventing other servers from starting in CCM.
    Reboot machine several times and still having the issue.

    We installed some Windows Server Updates about 3 months ago (at the time, over 70 Windows updates were installed) but, this problem hasn't shown up until 2 or 3 weeks ago. I think a .Net Service Pack might have been part of the updates at that time. When we did the updates, Windows was shutdown and updates installed per the preferred option of Windows. But now when rebooting since that time, the server continually reccomends the install updates and shutdown option. Do we need to rollback the server to date prior those updates if possible?
    I have also uninstalled .Net Framework back to 2.0. Is 1.0 or 1.1 the max that will work with XI?
    Should I also try to uninstall all other Windows updates?
    Thanks in advance for any help, Ed

  • Report Application Server Failure

    Hello All,
    I tried to import crystal reports into a folder in infoview and I got the below error message.
    Error message:
    Adding Crystal Report "AP Open Items_US.rpt" failed. A server communication error occurred. All servers with kind rptappserver could be down or disabled by the administrator.
    I checked CMC and I found out the Report Application Server(RAS) was down. I tried start/restart and force termination. All my efforts to bring it up were in vain.
    I checked the properties of RAS and I see a error message in red
    This server is considered failed because it has stopped 5 time(s) in 60 minute(s).
    System Details:
    BOBJ Edge 3.1 on windows server in virtual environment.
    I have installed Fixpack 1.1 and 1.2 for server components and client components
    Any idea why the RAS is down? Any possible solutions?
    Any input is highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Shivkumar

    Also I have tried cloning the server.
    I stopped and disabled the existing RAS and then cloned it and try to bring it up. That didnt work either.
    I also tried restarting the BOBJ server.
    Also under C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\serverpids where process id for each server gets created , I don't see any process id for RAS.
    Thanks
