Visual Studio - Crystal Report: Abnormal Behavior from Crystal Report with Charts

Hi,
I'm using Crystal Report 13 under visual studio 2012 where i build a report that contain pie chart and bar Chart in two different sections in the report header the report get the data from a DataTable.When i display the report in Crystal Report Viewer it is fine and as expected but when printing the report i get the first chart overriding the second chart: here the right report as displayed in CRV:
And here the wrong print out where the pie chart is duplicate and override the bar chart:
I inserted both charts in two sections in Report header and they get the data from the same DataTable. the pie chart: On change of: Discipline show values SumTotals and the Bar Chart On Change of Disciplie show values SumTotals and SumCompleted. I need your help to prevent Pie chart form overriding the bar chart by duplicating itself
Thanks in advance.

Hi Hussein
I moved your post to the SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio
SCN Space.
First I'd like to make sure you are using Service Pack 8 for CRVS:
SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio: Updates & Runtime Downloads
(Note SP 9 should be releasing in a few days - if yo want to wait).
Next, what happens if as a test, you export the report to an rpt file format and then view it in the designer without refreshing?
Is this a web or a win app?

Visual Studio 2008 Toolbox - i can use crystal reposts 2008

Hi
I have a strange problem. I reintall my machine with a new copy of windows vista 32 bits, then I install the visual studio 2008 Pro (not install de crystal reports basic). Then I install de crystal reports 2008.
In the vs2008 toolbox donu2019t appears the icon to use de crystal reports view. I try to add this items from de list (.net frameworks components) but they are no there. I try view in de c:\windows\assembly in they are there.
I can I put in the vs2008 ?
Thanks
Jorge Rocha

Hi Jorge
It seems that you are having issue with Visual Studio .Net.
Post your question in :Crystal Reports and Xcelsius » .NET Development - Crystal Reports.
That forum is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there. Also, all .NET SDK queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.
Thanks

Visual Studio 2010 Upgrade - Unable to view some reports

I converted an application that had been developed in VS2005 so that it would run in VS2010. The application contains several Crystal Reports. Now when I debug the application I can only view some of the reports. With the others I get an exception with the message "Unable to find the report in the manifest resources. Please build the project and try again."
The ones that work and the ones that don't all have the Build Action set to Embedded Resource. I have tried removing a report from the project and then adding it back, but that made no difference. A new report displayed fine.
Does anyone have any ideas about what could cause some of the reports to throw this exception?

OK, here is the link to the thread I am replying to Visual Studio 2010 Upgrade - Unable to view some reports

As you can see, I have described the exception that occurs when I try to view some, but not all, or the reports while debugging. I have also tried deleting a report and adding it back in but it made no difference.
Is this enough information?

Memory Leak in Report after upgrading from Crystal Reports 10.5 to 13.0.1/2

I'm currently having an issue with crystal reports 13 (Visual Studio 2010), We have recently updated our CRM Solution to use the newer crystal reports runtime as we are now using Visual Studio 2010,
We have a client who has a report which contains a sub report which basically contains a Image pulled from a MSSQL Database as a BLOB Image Field which is basically scanned images relating to the report, Previously the report worked fine before the Client Updated our CRM Solution to the latest version, Now for each individual page which has the scanned image the application is swallowing 100 MB of ram, as there are around 32 of these scanned images and our solution is a 32 bit application we are getting out of memory errors due to the whole 2GB addressable to a 32 bit process limitation,
The images are around 4MP and stored in JPG format in the database so should not be consuming over 100mb of ram per image displayed by the report even if they are being stored uncompressed in RGBA Format,
Likewise when viewing the pages of the report manually after a specific page (when the amount of memory addressable by a 32 bit application gets hit) the images just don't display and then any pages with the image are not being displayed and not giving an error / exception.
I have tried re-saving the .rpt files to cause them to be in the newer crystal reports format and this is still happening, likewise I have tried un-installing the 13.0.1 and installing the 13.0.2 runtime.
I am just about to check SQL which pulls the image for the sub report, although I am sure for each sub report it should only be pulling one row with one jpeg image in case the sub report is holding quite a few images but only displaying the first.
Likewise If all else fails I will try re-creating the report as I have experienced issues with some other specific reports doing strange things after being updated from the 2008 runtime which I really am not liking the idea of due to how fiddly crystal reports can be, It is good and does the job but takes far longer than some other solutions to get what you are trying to achieve done.
This report had been working fine for 2+ years before the client updated to the most recent version of our CRM Software.
Has anyone else experienced simular issues with the latest runtime.

I have just been reviewing the code for this and it appears that the sub report is pulling all of the images,
It is strange that previously this was working fine seems like the newer runtime does not dispose of the data once it has been displayed on a sub report which would explain memory leak as it will call the select again pulling approx 60 images which are probably approx 8 - 900KB plus sub report + uncompressed image to display and then filtering.
I am about to modify this report and will post if fix i put in place resolves the issue.

Having trouble getting Visual Studio Professional 2008 to rec. Crystal 2008

I am used to the tricky business of installing Crystal Reports every time there is an new version. I did not have a problem getting VSS 2005 to recognize CRXI R2, and used the reportdocument object to develop web reports within my ASP.NET 2.0 applications.
In my current virtual server development environment, after uninstalling and reinstalling in various combinations, I still haven't got VSS 2008 Professional to recognize that it has upgraded dll's for Crystal Reports 2008.
In my opinion this Business Objects/SAP website for support has got to be the worst website I have ever encountered for trying to find the information that I need to support Visual Studio and Crystal Reports. Very frustrating.
Can anyone tell me what the sequence and/or trick is to get VSS professional 2008 to recognize the updated DLL's???
Thanks in advance....
SMA

Sorry. I'm not sure if you are actually working with CR 10.5 or CR 2008 (soundes like 10.5). But the latest SP (SP1) for CR 10.5 is here:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009351512008E/crbasic2008sp1.exe
and the latest SP (SP1 also) for CR 2008 is here:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100010503722008E/cr2008_sp1.exe
Now, remember if your reports are created in CR XI and you are running them with CR 10.5, you may run into issues as you're looking for a forward compatibility from CR 10.5. And there are a number of changes in CR XI that CR 10.x will have trouble resolving. Parameters for starters.

Unable to save reports to enterprise from Crystal Reports 2013 and Crystal Reports for Enterprise

Dear Expert,
when we tried to save report to enterprise, error happened:
"Failed to find a Report Application Server."
We closed BO server firewall.
We could check report from PC by browser.
But when we save report from CR 2013, then error happened.
Then we install CR enterprise and save report is ok from same PC.
We launch latest patches too.
Anyone see this before? Please kindly help~
Environment:
SAP Crystal Reports 2013
SAP Business Intelligence 4.0
Regards,
April.

April, since you have CR4E, you also have BI and thus free phone support included. My suggestion would be to create a phone incident and work with an SAP engineer on the issue. Only saying because it looks like you're somewhat anxious to get this going(?).

Visual Studio TestStand API runtime enable/disable XML reporting file creation

I am looking for a Visual Studio C# solution to selectively disable creation of the report generation XML file using the TestStand API.
These XML files are useful for active troubleshooting for technicians, but wind up cluttering important directories with useless information most of the time.
I am aware that the XML file creation can be disabled through the TestStand Sequence Editor menu item Configure | Result Processing | Output Name Report | Enabled unchecked option.
This is helpful, but:
1. I have not found a way to check-uncheck this feature at runtime.
2. I do not believe that this would be an effective solution for my instal-less Base Deployment Paradigm.
Any help or ideas would be appreciated!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thank you for the quick and concise response James_Grey!
This is useful, complete, and implementable but not exactly what I was hoping for.
I was hoping to be able to enable/disable the XML file creation for the currently executing instance of the engine prior to sequence start.
I would rather not disable reporting through a configuration file that would effectively disable it for all uses of TestStand until it was re-enabled again.
Are my expectations unrealistic?
Does anyone have any idea how creation of the XML file can be enabled/disabled for an active instance of the engine prior to sequence start through the API without altering the file based configuration of TestStand?
I have seen some postings around 2008 that indicate this can be done, but I was unsuccessful implementing those solutions in TestStand 2013.

After installing visual studio, I get continuously disconnected from internet

Hi all.
I just installed Visal Studio 2013 Community on my new Acer R13 with W8 Pro. After installation, I get continuousy disconnected from internet. It seems to be something with the virtual adapter that VS creates in order to run WP emulators. Some times I have
to wait a minute or two and the connection comes back up, but sometimes I have o restart my system in order for it to work. Has any one run into this? Any suggestions?
The same thing happend o me on my old latop, a Samsung Chronos Serires 7. I used to think it was a problem with that compuer, but now it seems like a VS or Windows issue.
Thanks.
:. HUGONNE .: Please mark as answer if the post helps. Coding tips - http://hugonne.blogspot.com/

Hi Hugonne,
Based on your issue, to check this issue is related to the VS IDE or your Windows OS, I suggest you could try to install same version of VS on other machine check the issue.
(1) If you get same issue, I suggest you can try to repaid or re-install the VS2013 Community and then reset the VS setting check this issue.
(2) If you did not get same issue, I suggest you try to check your network connections on your windows. If the network connections did not have issue, maybe you will need to repair or re-install your OS check this issue again.

Visual Studio 2012 is no longer able to interact with any TFS server

I can connect to the on-premise TFS2012 server using the instance of VS2012 installed on the server machine as well as the instance of VS2012 installed on a coworker's machine.
I was able to interact with TFS2012 using the instance of VS2012 installed on my Win7 x64 machine, but only one time. Many reboots later, both of the server itself and my machine, I haven't been able to get VS2012 to interact properly with TFS.
When I click on "Team" and select "Connect to Team Foundation Server", the "Team Explorer" VS window opens. In that window, no matter what button or link I click on, Visual
Studio won't connect to TFS or allow me to choose a TFS server.
1. Clicking on the Home icon takes me to page with two buttons: Pending Changes & settings.
Clicking on "Pending Changes" takes me to a page where I can do 3 things: click on "no workspace" (nothing happens), click on Actions -> Open Source Control Explorer (which opens an
empty Source Control Explorer Window, from which I can do nothing), click on "Settings", which shows me a page with 4 options:
Security: clicking it results in the message "Team Foundation Error. Object reference not set to an instance of an object"
Group Membership: clicking it results in the message "Team Foundation Error. Object reference not set to an instance of an object"
Source Control: clicking it results in the message "Value cannot be null. Parameter name: serverName"
Process Template Manager: clicking it results in the message "Value cannot be null: Parameter name: tpc"
2. Clicking on the "Connect to Team Projects" icon takes me to a page where I can click on either:
"Configure Team Projects": clicking it does nothing
"Connect": clicking it does nothing
"Sign Up": opens a Visual Studio Online page on my web browser
If I instead go to File -> Source Control -> Advanced, there is only one option which appears to be working:
Change Source Control. When I click on it I get a window with a table with rows that correspond to the current solution and the projects in the current solution. ie:
Solution/Project: {item name}
Server Name: "<No Server>"
Server Binding: "<No Server>"
Connected: {gray uncheckable checkbox}
Status: "Not Controlled"
Local Binding:
Provider:
Relative path:
The buttons "Connect", "Disconnect", "Browse" are disabled. Clicking on the "Bind" button results in a window with the message "The mappings
for the solution could not be found" and two buttons: Ok and
Help. Clicking on Help results in a white window with the message:
"The 'EurekaPackage' package did not load correctly. The problem may have been caused by a configuration change or by the installation of another extension. You can get more information by examining the file 'C:\User\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\ActivityLog.xml'.
Continue to show this error message?"
Clicking "yes" open the following page on my web browser, which essentially tells me to go back to the "Change Source Control" window and unbind the project, which VS is not letting me do:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/query/dev11.query?appId=Dev11IDEF1&l=EN-US&k=k%28vs.tfc.sourcecontrol.MessageConnectionManagerCantBind%29;k%28TargetFrameworkMoniker-.NETFramework
The following is an excerpt from the "ActivityLog.xml" file mentioned in the white window that appeared when I clicked on the "Help" button:

What, if anything, can I do in order to be able to get Visual Studio 2012 to interact with TFS?

I'll add that when I run devenv.exe with the flag /TFSLink, VS opens a Team Explorer window that contains the following text:
An exception was encountered while constructing the content of this frame. This information is also logged in "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\ActivityLog.xml".Exception details:System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.   at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.IVsShell5.LoadPackageWithContext(Guid& packageGuid, Int32 reason, Guid& context)   at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Platform.WindowManagement.WindowFrame.GetPackage()   at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Platform.WindowManagement.WindowFrame.ConstructContent()

Visual Studio Online can send you back to zero with one simple mistake.

I was recently motivated by Microsoft team to move my code from other cloud services to Azure. I found out that it was very easy to make changes to the code using visual studio online until I lost all my code today and Microsoft team was unable to help me.
When you click git section and further click on 'intialize git' it brings all your code into a git, in case you don't like that and want to go back the moment you'll click 'undo all' you'll lose everything you have. I believe when someone clicks undo all
the code must go back to explore where it initially was.
I know many of you would think of me as a noob but there are millions like me who are not very familiar with visual studio online and if I've lost my code someone else might too. Only coders know what it means when you loose a live web app which has hundreds
of beta testers on it.

i'm very sorry to hear that. I saw your tweet and provided my email address - I'd like to see if there's anything I can do to help.
Also, if you haven't already, try a disk recovery tool to retrieve deleted files before (hopefully) they are overwritten in case we cannot come up with anything else.

Virtual station (w/ Win 7, Visual Studio, SQL Server) accessible by web for students with Dreamspark license.

Can an educational institution using Dreamspark Premium license create a virtual machine running Win 7, SQL, Visual Studio which will be available for students to use from their home?

Hi Sir,
I assume that you are using 2012/R2 server .
As you know , standard version can run two instance and datacenter with unlimited number of VM.
For server , it allows two account logon at the same time by defult .
For client , it only allows one account logon at the same time .
If you need more than two students to use that hyper-v server via RDP connection at the same time you may need to enable "RDS" and it will need RDS CAL .
I would suggest you to contact Microsoft Activation center for further assistance of license issue :

Issues running Crystal Reports (Open Doc) from IE 9 with locale not set to English

Hello Experts.
This thread is more or less a sub thread of http://scn.sap.com/thread/3541526 . We continue to experience Crystal Report failures from a location in China when our users enter report parameters and click execute. The error message we are seeing is: “logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect Error code:0 [CRWEB00000119]” (in Chinese).
After a fair amount of troubleshooting (see aforementioned thread) we discovered that the reports would not only run fine in Firefox, from this location, while set to a Chinese Language, but if we changed IE to US English, the reports ran from there as well.
While we have narrowed down the issue we have not been able to find a viable solution. Firefox is not ideal because it does not run many of our other application properly, including some SAP products and switching browser locale settings from user’s native languages to run a report is also not ideal. Has anyone else run into this issue in the past, if so how did you work through / around it. Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Some environmental information
- We are currently running BOBJ 4.0 SP 4
- We have a test environment running BOBJ 4.1 SP 2 and the issue is persistent
- We run IE 9 throughout our organization as a requirement for most of our internal tools

Is it possible to create a report combining data from 2 reports?

Post Author: swalker
CA Forum: General
We are upgrading the application, ServiceCenter. We have reports that show our Response and Resolution Metrics. I have 2 set of reports, one for the old version and one for the new version. I need to combine the results of both reports into 1 and do calculations on the data from both. Can this be done with 2 sub reports in the main report that does the calculations? Can 1 report connect to 2 separate databases? I am using Crystal Reports v8.5. Is there any documentation on this or sample reports? Can any one please give me some guidance? Thanks

Post Author: swalker
CA Forum: General
yangster thanks for the quick reply. I am not really sure about combining reports, so I looked into what you said. I tried to create a shared variable on the field that I need to share but that field is a running total and I get an error when I try to run the report "This field cannot be used becaus eit must be evaluated later." So I am not sure what to do now. Is there a work around for this? Thanks for any help.
