Web based Crystal Report not appearing

Hi
Hope this hasn't been asked before, had a look in the forum but couldn't find it specifically.
I am developing a web application with one CR in it.
VS 2010 + CR for VS installed on development machine.
The development environment is all fine, works a treat. The problems started when I tried shipping to our staging environment, and also a test area on our live server.
Our live web server is running Windows Server 2008 Web edition R2 with dotnet V4 x86 runtime installed.
After overcoming 'Type Initializer' error, 'log4net.dll' error and 'LoadReport' error on the live server, the live server now just displays a blank page.
When I had this problem on the staging server I found that this was caused by the 'aspnet_client\system_web\4_0_30319\crystalreportviewers13' folder not existing or in the right place. It works on the staging server when I'm browsing using http://localhost etc.
Things I have done to get the report working on the live server:
1. Install CR Runtime 32bit V13
2. Set security settings on C:\Windows\Temp to allow web user (actually set to 'Everyone' until it's all working properly) read/write access
3. Moved folder 'aspnet_client\system_web\4_0_30319\crystalreportviewers13' to the application folder and the www root folder (have tried in various places also)
I have to say that the report is displayed when I'm on the live web server and browse using http://localhost etc., and I can repeat the problem by moving the crystalreportviewers13 folder out of where it should be.
After getting all this done over the past 2 DAYS I believe that the problem lies with the location of the 'crystalreportviewers13' folder. Although it could be something else.
Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Julian

OK, apologies. posted in haste!
It seems that the report is working, it's just the browser I was viewing it from simply doesn't display it. No idea why yet, but not too worried as all other machines I try it on, it works.
A little annoyed however at the amount of time I've wasted trying to get this working. Is it documented anywhere for instance that C:\Windows\Temp needs special privileges set up to make a web crystal report work?
Anyway, please ignore this, and the last post!
Cheers

BusinessObject 4.0 API to get SQL statement from webi or crystal report

Hello,
Need your help.... could you confirm whether BusinessObjects 4.0 provides any SDK, API or Web Service to get physical SQL statement from the webi or crystal reports file?
If so, could you provide name of package, class and method?
If I am not wrong, there is an SDK in v3.0 that allows to extract the SQL. But I am reading a lot on these forums that lot of SDK classes and functions are deprecated / removed in v4.0.
Thanks for your help.
Omer

For Crystal Reports in BI 4.0 to retrieve the SQL query you can use Report Application Server SDK. Here is a code snippet that retrieves the SQL statement.
//oInfoObjectReport is of type IInfoObject corresponding to the crystal report.
ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc = reportAppFactory.openDocument(oInfoObjectReport, 0, Locale.ENGLISH);
        //for all crystal reports
        GroupPath grpPath = new GroupPath();
        //get CR SQL query string
        String reportSQL=reportClientDoc.getRowsetController().getSQLStatement(grpPath,null);
        System.out.println("report SQL String: "+reportSQL);
        //for report whose datasource is command object:
        Tables tables = reportClientDoc.getDatabaseController().getDatabase().getTables();
        for (int i = 0; i < tables.size(); i++)
         ITable table = tables.getTable(i);
         ICommandTable ic= (ICommandTable) table;
         //Command can be obtained from the report using getCommandObject() method
         //get CR SQL query string
         String SQLText=ic.getCommandText();
         System.out.println("SQLText_"+i+": "+SQLText);

Embedding WebI and Crystal reports on a web page

Hi,
I'm new to BO, so please bear with me. I've also posted this to the .NET-side, so sorry if you've seen this post before.
We have a project where we will need to embed WebI and Crystal reports on a web page, i.e. we want the people who access the web page to get the reports (mainly graphs) as embedded content on the web page without any controls and other clutter.
Is this possible and what's the correct way of doing this?
Thanks,
Carl

Hi,
Thanks for the help!
We still face the original problem, though. I.e. with openDocoument we get the report, controls, tab selections, scroll bars etc. What we actually would like is to get just the contents of a report.
Is there any way of doing it? We're not afraid of coding, we have good developers. Or do we need to schedule report creation to some format (e.g. PDF) and then load the PDF to the web page?
Basicaly it's more important to get this working for WebI reports as we can redo almost all reports from Crystal to WebI. Of course we are happy to find a resolution for both cases.

Empty report returned from WEBI and Crystal report when using external hier

Hi,
WEBI and Crystal report build from BEX query returned empty report when we used external hierarchy 0PROFIT_CTR. In BEX we don't have any problems with it.
No authority check is perfomed on the hierarchy when we start the report in WEBI/Crystal. Only check on the hierarchy is performed when the root authorization is assigned to the user

GP, callable object Web Dynpro Application (bespoke) not appearing in list

Hey y'all
We're developing our first GP, and we would like to call an existing bespoke Web Dynpro. When creating the callable object, we're selecting type Web Dynpro Application, but our Web Dynpro screen is not appearing in the drop down list on the next page. We think that this is because the application has been deployed to a different server (i.e. it has not been deployed onto the portal server).
So the question is, has anyone faced this problem before, and is there a solution?
Kind regards
Jon

Hi John,
Please have a look at this Exception on creating GP Action
This will solve your issue definitively. Do not take care of a given SDA, just redeploy everything and make sure that everything is overwritten by selecting the right option.
Best regards,
David

Edit web part option does not appear in browser on lists

I've inserted some lists on a wiki page. However, when viewing in the browser the checkbox and the dropdown containing the Edit Web Part option do not appear. On the properties tag I thought I enabled all the correct properties such as Allow Edit, Allow
Minimize etc. What am I missing?

Hi Larry,
According to your description, my understanding is that the Edit web part option disappeared in the list web part.
I recommend to check if the account has permission to edit the web part, please check the permission of the account in Site Permissions and the list permissions.
Please also check if the target audience is set in the web part.
Best regards.
Thanks

I need Web based Dynamic Reporting tools

Hi,
I need a Web based Dynamic Reporting tool.
I have to user oracle products and this reporting tools must support OLAP and Data Warehousing.
thanks,

Hi Shima,
Let me quote from Oracle Reports website:
"Oracle Reports is Oracle's award-winning, high-fidelity enterprise reporting tool. It enables businesses to give immediate access to information to all levels within and outside of the organization in an unrivaled scalable and secure environment. Oracle Reports consists of Oracle Reports Developer (a component of the Oracle Developer Suite) and OracleAS Reports Services (a component of the Oracle Application Server)."
Since you need a web-based reporting tool, this is what is available with Oracle Reports:- you cannot design reports on the web, but you can use Oracle Reports Developer to design high quality reports that are suitable for viewing on the web.
Oracle Reports support OLAP as a data source.
From your requirements, it seems that it might be worthwhile for you to check out Oracle Discoverer which is again a powerful reporting and analysis tool. Oracle Discoverer is more suitable for ad-hoc reporting and web-based analysis of data by the end-users:

Merits and Demerits of WEBI and Crystal reports!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Experts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I came up with many documents, but i cannot able to find the exact merits and demerits over WebI and Crystal Reports.
Experts can u people help me out in this regards,
Atleast the comparison between them.
Regards,
Suman Thangadurai

What angle are you coming at this from?
Are you talking about in terms of replacing Deski?
Or as a first reporting tool to learn?
If you're moving away from Deski, I'd personally go for Webi. Very small amount of learning required to move from one to the other. It's also much easier to pick up and start working with.

Hi,
Put an image field in your report, then change the image’s Graphic Location:
right click the image, select Format Graphic, select Picture tab, click the conditional-formula button that look like a x2 and set the formula’s text to
the name of the formula or parameter field that will contain the image’s URL.
Save the formula and click the OK button. Save the report and test it.
Be carefull with the size of the image field. If this size is not equal to the image itself it could get resized.
Good Tutorial

Not able to schedule Webi and Crystal reports in Infoview

Hi All,
We are using Business Objects XI 3.1.
I am not able to schedule reports in Infoview irrespective of the report type.
The Webi report throws the error "Bad Request(Invalid URL)" when I hit on the Format Destination section.
The Crystal report without prompt hangs when I hit schedule button and the report with prompt throws the error "An error has occurred:Invalid postback or callback argument."
Recently we installed the Fixpack 1.2 for XI 3.1.
Thanks in Advance
Umesh

Hi Kilic,
You mean to say re-install the Java version.
Also there is issue in IIS Server. It always encounters a problem and stops. I have to restart the IIS Server. How to deal with these issues? Very confused
Thanks and Regards,

Web Crystal Report not working after period of time

Hi
I have had a problem for a long time now on one of our web servers, it's becoming more of an issue lately due to a web site using Crystal more. The problem is that the Crystal Report Viewer does not load after a few hours. If I re ship the main DLL into the Bin folder for the site, then something gets 'reset', and hey presto, Crystal starts working again.
The problem would even arise with a basic CR, with just one Textfield on it (i.e. not show)
Web server is 32 bit Windows Server Web Edition SP 2. Asp.Net project built in VS 2012 against .Net 4.0.
Anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks,
Julian

Make sure you are on SP 8
Make sure you are using .Close and .Dispose on your report objects as you get done with them.
What OS? (2003, 2008, 2012)
Provide more info on the following:
The problem is that the Crystal Report Viewer does not load after a few hours.
What does that mean? Errors? Warnings? Behavior? Symptoms?

Universe based Crystal report date prompt appears as DateTime

I have faced this issue in all XI versions and was hoping there is a solution for this in XI 3.1 and/or Crystal 2008.
There is a date dimension in a universe which is tied to a datetime datatype on the backend SQL server field. If a Crystal report (XI,2008) uses this date dimension as a prompt, the prompt created in Crystal report is of type Date Time and therefore when the report is ran, the required syntax for this prompt is with timestamp. There was a fix for a similar issue in XI R2 Fix Pack 3.3 by creating a useDateInsteadOfDateTime registry key and setting its value to the DSN of the ODBC based universe connection. I could never get that to work by the way.
Any ideas on how to change the prompt data type to Date without the timestamp in XI 3.1 and Crystal 2008 reports?
Thanks.

Hi Farhan Jaffery
Have you tried to change the object defination in universe level and crate a prompt and check.
Also try to use Add Command to retrive the database field with only date and create a prompt.
Thanks,
Sastry
