Hi Esha,
VS supports Managed Code now, using unmanaged C++ code may or may not work. As we've all told you, CR 6 is 12 years old now and it had no concept of Visual Studio 2010 or managed C+. It's still c+ so if you get it working then great, if not there is absolutely nothing we can do for you. There should be no reason it won't work as long as the C++ dependencies included with VS 2010 still supports 1997 VS 5/6 C++ runtime. If those dependencies are not available then Cr likely won't work.
For the last time, upgrade to CR for VS 2010 and move to CR Assemblies, you can still write and use CR in Managed C+, lots of people do, we don't have any samples for you though. Lot's of C# samples which is MS's replacement for unmanaged C+.
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/CrystalReportsSDKSampleApplications
Bottom line is we can't Confirm if it will work, you are mixing 1998 and 2011 technologies so there is absolutely no guarantee from SAP this will ever work and you will never get one from SAP. You are on your own....
There are so many reasons why it likely won't work to list, OS's, DB clients, Windows Dependencies, SECURITY, to name a few that even if it did work does your Company want to sell and support something that if your users have issues there is no way of ever getting it fixed?
Seriously, It's time to talk to your Product team and catch up with current technologies and Crystal Reports.

Seagate Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer error '80043ac4'

Website slows down when users are running reports. Users start getting errors when running any crystal report. After sometime main page itself stops loading and only static html is visible. Following is one of the errors users see:
Seagate Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer error '80043ac4'
Invalid directory.
/opera_mort2/report/AlwaysRequiredSteps.asp, line 54
Other errors seen on reporting site at that time are
Active Server pages error 'ASP 0115'
Unexpected error
/opera_mort2/report/rpt_level.asp
A trappable error (C00000005) occurred in an external object. The script cannot continue running.
authentication and network errors.
Rebooting the Web Server temporarily fixes the issue however the error recurs again after a day or two. We are seeing this problem in both our PROD and DR server. There was no change done to either of these boxes recently.
Also at this pint IIS was crashing. Microsoft Support analyzed the crash dumps created from IIS and came up with the following:
"All the memory dumps captured showed the same DLL that was accessing corrupted memory. This same DLL would also be the one that had originally written to those addresses. The DLL was craxdrt.dll from Crystal Reports 8.0 ActiveX Designer, which was version 8.0.1.0 from 1/28/2000. This DLL should be updated to see if this issue has already been fixed. Other options are to recycle IIS more frequently and move to a new version of Crystal Reports."
Here is a detailed analysis from Microsoft Support:
The issue appears to be heap corruption. Normally these are difficult to troubleshoot, however, in this case every memory dump that I looked at had the same component involved.

This component is from the year 2000 and needs to be updated. I searched our old cases and found several where old version of this component caused the same heap corruption.
Please help as this is a production issue. Please let me know if you need any more information.
thanks and regards

Something must have changed. Were any patches or auto updates done to the OS?
CR 8.0 has been out of the support cycle for some time now.
As Microsoft suggested please log in and download the patches for CR 8.0 from:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/businessobjects-support
If that does not resolve the issue the only option will be to schedule sn IIS restart each night.

Error from the seagate Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer

Hi guys,
I get the following message when I running a report application based on Web. The Message is as following:
The Error Message was Error detected by database DLL from Seagate Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer
Internet Explorer has encountered a problem wiht an add-on and needs to close.
the following add-on is running when this problem occured
Add-on Name: CRview.dll
Company Name: Crystal Decision, Inc
Description: Crystal Viewer for ActiveX
I think the crystal is old version , the IE is version 7
Thank you very much
Clara

OK, an upgrade of Oracle causes Crystal Reports to throw "Error detected by database DLL". It may very well be that version 8 report will not be able to run that version of Oracle. E.g.; version 8 of CR will not run Oracle 10 g for sure...
Something to look at; can you run the report in the CR 8 designer when connecting to that updated version of Oracle?
You'll have to locate the platforms.txt file for CR 8 and see what version of Oracle it supported. I do not have a link or even an idea of where that may be as CR 8 has been out of support for soooo long.

Windows 7, 64 bit support to Crystal Reports XI R2 SP5

Will the Windows 7, 64 bit support to Crystal Reports XI R2 SP5 be added?
Moving to CR 12 is the only solutions?
What are the options?
regards,
Srini

Hi Srini,
No, XI R2 is getting close to legacy mode so no new OS platforms will be added unless some large Partner requests it. Cr 12 is the only option, R2 will likely anyways. It wont be officially supported but it should work.
Thank you

Seagate Crystal Reports: Database Error

I am using Crystal reports Version 8 and frequently get the error 'Seagate Crystal Reports: Database Error' when I try to open a previously working crystal report file. The error occurs when I click on the Database menu. Every time I get this error I end up redesigning the report as the I have not yet found a solution and I cant run the report.
The error is a message box with the title 'Seagate Crystal Reports: Database Error' and an ok button - nothing else.
Its very frustrating!
Please help.
Thanks.

Hi,
What database are you using and how are you connecting to it?
What are you clicking in the Database menu: Set Location, Verify Database, Show SQL Query?
Before opening the report, can you connect to the database first then open the report?
I would have expected an error code or a more descriptive error to follow.
Thanks,
Brian

Where is the Tech Support for Crystal Reports

Where is the technical support for Crystal Reports? I have just been through one of the worst technical supports circles in my entire career - this phone# to that phone# and only to be told you cannot talk to a Tech Support person. My dilema for anyone that can help - I am using Crystal Report 2008. I have mapped to a database in MS Access 2002. I copied the database to my desktop and created a test report. I can see the fields in the Field Explorer. I have dragged the fields onto the report and they are visible in Design View. I can see the data in the fields when I browse the fields. In the Preview View I do not see any data what-so-ever. I have not changed any defaults and have not suppressed or hidden information. The $1M question: Why can't I see the data on my report? I never had the problem when I used Crystal Reports v8.

The datasource shows my database. I believe that is what you meant. No data. IT has asked me to ask ? if in the Control Panel DSN if we need some information there. I don't have a clue - I am just a report writer and not an IT person.

Flawed Support Offerings - Crystal Reports

Finding information on your web site is extremely cumbersome and awkward. I'm looking for solutions to ClickOnce deployment of Crystal Reports 2008. Searching forums gives me lots more questions, few answers. This kind of problem should be in a technical note or FAQ somewhere, where is it? or why not?
Downloaded files all seem to be corrupted (regardless of what browser you use.) example ClickOnce Fix 1.6 and 1.7
If you actually get a non-corrupt file, there are no instructions contained within on what to do with it.
Crystal Reports contains an auto-update feature. But it doesn't seem to work!
Were can I find useful information on ClickOnce deployment of Crystal Reports 2008 SP1 within a Visual Studio 2008 application? Where are valid non-corrupt files? Where should these files be placed? Should deployument files be "download from the vendor" or downloaded from the deployment directory?
Edited by: Shane Brodie on Sep 4, 2009 6:35 PM

Hi Shane,
For your download problems try using a download manager, it may be that it was interupted and caused a byte to get altered.
Could also be the site has problems, try again.
With the changes to the support sites those links in CR Designer simply re-direct to the way SAP supports downloads. They are still there, just a different way to get them.
As for documentation you will find it under the BusinessObjects tab above and the Articles. We now separate the file from the info. Just select the Product and version and you'll find all the info you are looking for. Do not use IE 8, it's a known issue with this version.
Thank you for your feedback. I'll pass it onto those who manage the site.

Mail barcode support in Crystal Reports 2008 - does it really exist?

We are looking to add mail bar codes to our existing reports. The cover letter of the report includes a mailing label and we would like to add a mail bar code underneath it. I called 888-229-2276 yesterday and explained what I wanted to do. I was instructed to download a trial version from the website and take a look at the help as this feature was added in Crystal Reports 2008. The help didn't explain much more than right click the fieled you want to bar code and select the Bar Code option listed. What this created was a regular bar code that looks like a UPC you would find in the grocery store. I tried both Azalea fonts, but got the same result.
How does one create an Intelligent Mail barcode or PostNet barcode?

Having dealt with both PostNet and Intelligent Mail Barcodes (IMB), using CR XI R1, here are a couple of things that might shed some light:
1. PostNet and IMB are vastly different, so you choose which one you want to generate. PostNet requires some calculation based on the zipcode and/or zip+5 whereas IMB requires specific information such as Mailer ID etc assigned to your company by USPS.
2. You can download a PostNet font, which can be found on the web as shareware etc. IMB font can be downloaded from USPS for free. For more info on IMB check out [https://ribbs.usps.gov/index.cfm?page=intellmailmailpieces]
3. IMB is very specific to your company and as such requires a thorough understanding of the type of mail you will be sending and if it is bulk or BRM etc etc. It would be better to consult with the USPS customer rep for your company to determine if IMB is appropriate for you.
4. PostNet is a breeze compared to IMB. All you need do is determine if the barcode will be based on zip or zip+5 and delivery point codes which determines if the barcode will contain 32, 52 or 62 bars. You then download the font from the web and off you go. Information on how to calculate/generate PostNet barcodes is all over the internet, the key is downloading the font.
I bet it is all clear as mud but feel free to post if you have more questions.

Fonts supported by crystal reports XI

Post Author: kapsi
CA Forum: General
Does Crystal reports XI support postscript fonts?
Does Crystal Reports XI allow postscript fonts to be exported to PDF? (I know that this was not possible in Crystal Reports 9. Has this been resolved in XI?)
Many thanks in advance...

First check is to ensure the Java JVM can see the font. The Java SDK comes with the JFC demo Font2DTest. Do the fonts show up there?
Note that the Java JRE has a lib/fonts directory, where you can place TrueType fonts that the JRE then would use.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Support for Crystal Report XI runtime on Windows Server 2008 R2

Hi all,
I was wondering if Crystal report XI runtime is supported on Windws Server 2008 R2.
I've found this url http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e06b8953-a62b-2d10-38b9-ca71f747e2b1?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true&59511066859035
We are develping with .Net framework 2.0.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
Roberto.

Hi Roberto,
By 'Crystal report XI runtime' if you mean CR 11.0, then it is not supported with Windws Server 2008 R2.
See the compatibility chart.
http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?original_fqdn=wiki.sdn.sap.com&pageId=56787567
The link you have referred is for Crystal Reprots for VS 2010 / 2012 / 2013 which is the lates version of CR which provides the SDK.

DB2 support for Crystal Reports for Enterprise And Unx errors

Hi,
I have a requirement to create a report in CrystalReports for Enterprise 4 sourcing data from Oracle 11 and IBM DB2 V9 databases. My first approach is to create relational connections for both the databases in the BO Repository (using Universe designer) and use them directley in the CR for Enterprise. Here I was able to create the two connections but unable to use the DB2 connnection in the report. I get the below error:
"The Database DB2V9 is not supported".
Is DB2 is a supported database for Crystal reports for Enterprise ??
My second approach is to create a multisource universe using IDT. Here when I try to create the Datafoundation layer, I get to see the tables from the DB2 databasae but When I expand the Oracle connection, I get this error: "conversion from UTF8 to charset failed: encoding not loaded".
Im unable to create a multisource universe at all no matter what connections I use.
Here is some additional info:
SAP BI4.1 SP1
Windows 2008 R2 servers
Oracle 11g
IBM DB2 V9.7
Any suggestions please!
Thanks,
Ravinder

Hi,
First of all I would strongly advice you to only use IDT for your universe development. The old Universe Designer is a legacy tool and should not be used unless you are using products that doesn't support IDT universes.
The issue you are facing for your Oracle connection is likely caused by a missing path variable.
Add "C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win64_x64" to the PATH environment variables on the SAP Business Objects Enterprise server.
Restart the SIA
NOTE: Modify the path in case the SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise is installed in different folder.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Josh
