Version of Crystal Report file?

Hi All,
How can I find out which version of crystal reports was used to create a crystal report (.rpt) file?
Thanks.

Hi Mlong,
Please select u201CReportu201D menu -> Performance information ->Report Definition
Here file format schema specifies the report developed version.
Thanks,

Overwrite crystal report file name with new version but keep history

I am writing a Crystal Reports .NET SDK in C# code to upload a crystal report files from its destination to CMC folder on BO XI R2 Platform.
On "Upload Button" click_event, validate the two check boxes controls named "Keep History", and "Remove History". Once "Keep History" check box is selected, check If the SAME report file name exists in the same destination CMC folder, if Yes, overwrite it BUT Keep the History and all its associated objects like "recurring objects". If "Remove History" is selected, then remove the existing report and upload the new report file name.
Please provide me some codes on how to do this task. This is definitely a "WIN" - "WIN" effort and contribution to my Team Goals.
P.S. This is a similar scenario when you are uploading report on BO Enterprise R2 CMC.
When Uploading a new report to a folder but same report file name exists, the BO System will promt message "Report File Name" already exists. Do you want to Overwrite it?" If Yes, then system will overwrite the file but it will keep the history and recurring objects.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bien

Help required in embedding flash file object into Crystal Report file.

Hello,
      I use the default version of Crystal Report (i.e.'Crystal Report Basic For Visual Studio 2008 - version 10.5' ) which is the part of 'Visual Studio 2008', to create and display the Report. Further, as a requirement, I have to show 'Event Video' into the Report. But, as this default version of Crystal Report does not support Flash File, I uninstalled it and downloaded and installed the 30 days trial version of the Crystal Report (i.e. Crystal Report 2008 - version 12.0).
      Then, I created a new Crystal Report File using 'Crystal Report 2008 Designer', embedded the video as a Flash File(i.e. SWF file) into it. Now, when I add this newly created Crystal Report File into my sample application, which is created using VS 2008, it does not shows the embedded video.
      So, can anybody please tell me, how can I embed the Flash File into Crystal Report, so that it will be visible in the sample application?
I would like to appreciate your help and support.
Thanks,
-Yogesh.

Symptom :
When embedding a pdf document into a Crystal Report, only the one page shows.
Reproducing the Issue
Environment:
Crystal Reports OLE object
Cause
An OLE object only displays the first page.
Resolution
Embed multiple objects, one for each page
Or
Use a hyperlink to the object instead
Hope this helps!

How is the best way to install the latest version of Crystal Reports 2008

I have been downloading for hours all the service packs, hot fixes, fix packs and chasing my tail for way too long on this.
I keep getting errors about a file being out of sequence.... I assume there is a very loooooong list of fixpacks that need to be applied!!!    This is such a nightmare.
Is there a simple way to just install the latest version of 2008 Crystal Reports?
If I have to follow a long sequence of updates, is it written down anywhere?
The reason for this in the firstplace is because I moved to Visual Studio 2010 with .Net 4.0 framework and now none of my crystal reports work.
I am using the full version of Crystal Reports 2008 installation, not the one built into Visual Studio
HELP!!!!!!

When I try installing SP2 it starts the update and just locks up... no errors... just sits there. I let it sit for about an hour.
Is it compatible with Windows 7 ?
When I tried installing a fixpack, I kept getting errors that a file was out of sequence.   I will try uninstalling all of Crystal and just reinstall in this order:
1. Crystal Reports 2008 from CD
2. Install Crystal Reports 2008 SP2
3. Install FixPack 2.6
This is what I tried the first time and got all the errors, but I will try it again...   is this correct?
(I don't need to install SP0 or SP1 or any other Fixpacks.... Correct?)

Having trouble opening Crystal Report files from a document library

I am trying to open Crystal Report .rpt files from a document library in either the native, client Crystal Reports software or in Crystal Reports Viewer. When I add the Crystal Report files to a document library and attempt to open them SharePoint displays
a prompt asking me to save the file locally instead of opening the file. I have done a lot of research online and found several sites discussing similar scenarios, however, I have not been able to get these solutions to work. Here is a short list of sites
I have referenced for possible solutions:
http://naadydev.blogspot.com/2013/03/crystal-report-viewer-sharepoint-2010.html?showComment=1383339860122

http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/42731/Crystal-Reports-WebPart-for-SharePoint
Here are the steps I have done to try to get the .rpt files to open:
Added the Crystal Report extension .rpt as a MIME type
Installed the Visual Studio 2012 Crystal Reports Viewer toolbar
Installed the 64-bit Crystal Reports runtime
I have also created a solution file based off the Code Project site which partially works, but not quite right. In this project I have created a document library called "Crystal Reports rpt Files" and deployed the solution file to a site. When
I open the Web Part Maintenance Toolbar I can see the selected .rpt file in the drop-down, but no Crystal Report file is displayed on the page itself.
I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Does anyone have experience working with Crystal Reports and SharePoint 2013 (or earlier versions) that could lend some advice?
Thank you,
Alex

We are having the exact same issue, has anyone resolved this yet?

Can I get the Version a Crystal Report Was Designed Against

Hi,
I'm working on a web application developed in C# using the Crystal Reports runtime 10.5 that came with Visual Studio.
What I am trying to do is to check the version of a Report File that the application is trying to run before actually running it.
So that a Report written in Crystal Reports 11 can be flagged as being potentially incompatiable (as it may contain new features not supported by the runtime).
Is there any way to get this version number in C# code?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Steve

Thanks for the reply.
In the application I'm working on people can write and upload their own Crystal Reports. The application then runs these reports for them (also doing other things such as exporting (PDF) and emailing the report).
At the minute, and in past releases the application uses the 10.5.3700.0 runtime. Everything functions fine in the application.
My only concern is that a user could write a report in Crystal 2008 using functionality that is in Crystal 2008 but not supported by the 10.5.3700.0 runtime.
Therefore when a user uploads a report I was hoping to analyse the rpt file to find out what version they used to design the report. Then if it is not designed in version 10, inform them that some functionality may not be supported by the current runtime.
I've had a go through code and found a property called MajorVersion which seemed to be just what I wanted, but it was Non-Public so unfortunately this wasn't available to use.
((CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportClientDocumentWrapper)((CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.EngineObjectBase)(sInfo)).m_rasRptClientDoc).MajorVersion
I was hoping to go for this solution of warning users rather than compiling using the Crystal 2008 runtime, as updating the runtime may incur a cost to current customers who are happy using 10.5.3700.0.
I hope that is a bit clearer.

Hi, everybody.
I have one problem.
How to create crystal report file(*.rpt) in php dynamically.
I mean, I want to create the "*.rpt" file with php code.
Please help me. thanks everybody.

Post Author: PWilkens
CA Forum: General
It sounds like you're defeating the power and purpose of Crystal Reports, or replace it with pure PHP (which I suppose could be done... but why?)
What exactly are you trying to do?
If you're trying to make certain parts of the report hide or reveal or change depending on variables settings in the PHP file, that's easy enough to accomplish by sending parameters with your PHP values into the report. But the dynamic actions really need to be done within the report itself, accomplished through ample use of the section and field settings provided within the Report Designer.

Crystal report files created, but why not all?

I am using several (total 19) Crystal report files (*.rpt) in my project as report or subreport. When I delete these rpt files under my "...\bin\Debug" folder and run the application I see that some (exactly 14) of them are automatically retrieved back into the "...\bin\Debug" folder.
But there are several other reports (remaining 5 of them) I also want them to be created at the application start. I have debugged the application from tha main entrance and saw that the rpt files are generated even the first line of code is executed. Also checked my "App.config" file (where I hold the paths for these report originals) and added the most recently created report that is not retrieved into the file, but the file is not retrieved.
I have also checked the contents of "XXXXX.exe" (XML Configuration file), "XXXXX.vshost.exe" (XML Configuration file) under "...\bin\Debug" folder and "XXXXX" (Microsoft Visual Studio Solution), "XXXXX" (Microsoft Visual Studio Project file), "XXXXX.csproj" (Visual Studio Project User Options file), "XXXXX" (XML Configuration file) under the project folder but I still can not figure out how the Visual Studio determines which ones to retrieve and leave others
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards.

This could be related to the Build Action property for the .rpt file. Compare the settings for this property to see if the files that are not copied have a different setting.

How to publish non-Crystal Report files in BO XI R2?

Development Environment: Visual Studio 2005, C#
I'm working on a project where I need to publish non-Crystal Report files - specifically Excel and Text files - to a specified folder in BusinessObjects XI R2. However, I'm having a very hard time finding any samples for how to do that. I know how to publish Crystal Report files, so I figure I'll need to instantiate a PluginManager object of the correct type, but I'm not sure how to load the file from there.
Can anyone provide some sample code or point me in the right direction so that I can figure this one out? Thanks!

Trial version of crystal report

Hi,
Do anyone know where to download trial version of crystal report and components to connect R3? Thx.

Hi,
You can integrate CR 2008 SP1 with R3.
Download CR 2008 trial version from here - http://www.businessobjects.com/campaigns/forms/downloads/crystal/2008/default.asp
Also you need to install SP1 in order to integrate it with SP1.
Also I don't know that trail version of CR 2008 Sp1 can be integrated with R3 or not.
Note:- Currently CR 2008 SP1 is not available.
Hope it helps,
