Which is the lowest version of Crystal reports that shall work on BW 7.3?

Hi,
Can you tell me which is the lowest version of crystal reports that will work with BW 7.3?
If given any reference document also it will be useful.

Vignesh

Just adding to Vitaly's point that when you load CR 2008 Sp4, you also need to upgrade SAP IK to the same patch level i.e. SP4
You also have to load the respective transports for the service pack that you are loading.

  • 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?)

  • When will the next version of Crystal Reports be released ?

    I had asked this question last year and was told by the SAP agent there would be a new version of Crystal Reports released in 2015. Is this still true ? Are I better to wait or should I be looking to migrate to 2013 (currently on 2011) ?
    Thanks

    Hi Craig,
    CR 2013 is just a rebranded CR 2011 that was released alongside BI 4.1.
    I can't say for sure if 2015 is the year when a 'new' CR version would be released.

  • Which are the lowest versions of UCM and UCCX with corresponding client software supported on Windows 7 64bit?

    Hello,
    currently using UCM 7.0(2) and CIPC 7.0.2 for hotline using UCCX 7.0(1) and Agent Desktop 6.6.54.
    Which CUCM and UCCX Versions are needed to support Win7 64bit Client Software and which Version of CIPC can than be used?
    We dont want to upgrade to latest versions yet! We only want to realise 64bit compatability for our clients. Therefore upgrading to lastest releases of UCM an UCCX would not be the correct answer.
    My understaning of release documentation for this is following.
    Win7 64bit supported when
    UCM 7.0(2) using CIPC 7.0.4 or 8.6
    UCCX 7.0(2) using CAD 7.0.2xxxx
    Therfore we only have to do a maintenance update of UCCX from 7.0(1) to 7.0(2) to get new CAD Version compatible to 64bit.
    Next we only have to update CIPC from 7.0.2 to 7.0.4 or 8.6 regardless of the UCM version because both newer CIPC version list CUCM 7.0 as compatible system.
    I'm I right here????
    Additionally is the expectable update cost free or does it bring any change in licensing?
    PS: I know some other client software is not 64bit compatible in this solution like historical reporting client and so on. but this is no K.O. criteria and can be compensated otherwise.

    My apologies John I didn't realize that I was addressing the official custodian of Photoshop.
    Incidentally my advice is intended for others in a similar situation who find themselves stalled during installation and otherwise contemplating a re-installation of Windows. I believe this would be obvious to most forum participants who had actually read my original post.

  • Latest Version of Crystal Report

    Hi all,
            Kindly Let me know the Latest version of Crystal Report and the Release Versions after Crystal Report 10 in hierarchicaly.
    Thanks for your support in advance.
    Regards
    Sivaramakrishnan

    Hi Siva,
    The latest version of Crystal reports is version 12.which is released in 2008.
    You can find more info below regarding the version and history of Crystal reports.
    The product was originally created by Crystal Services Inc. as Quik Reports[2] when they couldn't find a suitable commercial report writer for their accounting software. After producing versions 1.0 through 3.0, the company was acquired in 1994 by Seagate Technology.[3] Crystal Services renamed itself to Seagate Software, and later Crystal Decisions,[4] and produced versions 4.0 through 9.0. Crystal Decisions was acquired in December 2003 by Business Objects, which has so far produced versions 10, 11 (XI) and the current version 12 (2008). Business Objects was acquired by SAP on October 8, 2007.

  • What version of Crystal Reports do I need for ClickOnce Deployment VS2005?

    Hello,
    I have a Windows application that is currently being maintained in VS2005. Eventully we plan to upgrade to VS2008 but for now this is what we are using.
    I used the version of Crystal Reports that shipped with VS2005 to build some reports. Now I need to deploy them and I prefer to use ClickOnce. Some time ago, I checked into this process and only one specific version of Crystal could accomplish what I needed: CR XI R2.
    Now that Crystal 2008 has been released, I am curious if I can use it as a direct replacement for this package, or if it only supports ClickOnce on VS2008, or if there are any other deployment or version mismatch issues I need to be aware of. If CR XI R2 is still the only option I have for ClickOnce with VS2005, please let me know so I can buy that package instead.
    Thanks

    You can use click once with .NET 2005 and .NET 2008. Click once MSI is here:
    https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100005986302008E/cr120_clickonce.zip
    CR XI r2 and CR 2008 are side by side compatible, so if you have apps using the two runtimes on the same computer, it should not be an issue.

    Hi, did you get this working? I'm really struggling to get up and running on 2008 R2, the CMS service just refuses to connect to the database. It also looks like the database wasn't created properly during the install. I set it up on an MSDE database, and when I look at it with sql management studio the database is there but there aren't any tables or anything else
    Can anyone either confirm or deny that its possible to run Crystal XI on 2008 R2?
    The error I'm getting when trying to start the service is:
    The root server reported an error Initialization Failure. (Reason: Unable to connect to the database using the provided connection string. Reason: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified).
    I've confirmed that the ODBC connections work (both 32 bit and 64 bit) via the built in test, but Crystal for some reason isn't happy

  • Where can I find which versions of Crystal Reports are compatible with the Runtimes?

    The Crystal Runtimes run reports authored in Crystal Reports.  Where is it documented which version of Crystal Reports can be used to author reports for which version of the Runtimes?
    If I use the latest Runtimes can I consume reports authored in any version of Crystal Reports, e.g. Crystal Reports version 10?  Or Crystal Reports 2013?

    Latest runtimes is rather vague(?), but yes the runtime for CR 2008 and "SAP Crystal Reports, Developer Version for Visual Studio .NET" will have no issues running reports create in previous versions of CR - all that way back to CR 9.x. After that, it gets more difficult the further back you go.
    As for reports create in CR 2011 and / or CR 2013 no issue in "SAP Crystal Reports, Developer Version for Visual Studio .NET", guaranteed. Using those reports in CR 2008 should also not be an issue - e.g. I can't think of any features introduced in CR 2011 / 2013 that would not work in CR 2008.

  • Which version of crystal reports can link to Windev 14 and SQL server 2008 applications

    I am developing an application with windev 14 and sql server 2008, i would like to know which version of crystal report can i use?

    Hi GS,
    Move to .NET SDK forum.
    I don't know how CR for Visual Studio will integrate into WinDev but to get the installer for VS 2010/2012/2013 go to this page:
    SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio: Updates & Runtime Downloads
    It's the runtime for CR 2011 or 2013 now.
    As for SQL 2008 you need to install the Client tools and when creating reports use the SQLNCLI10.dll as the client DB driver for ODBC or OLE DB.

  • Which version of Crystal Report XI do I have?

    Post Author: MarinoDp
    CA Forum: .NET
    Hello everybody.I know this may sounds odd, but I'm currently facing some problems (about PDF output) that should have been resolved with Crystal Reports R2 and I'm not sure which version I have. The fact is that all the 'old' developers left the company and currently no one exactly knows which version of Crystal Report we use.The embedded .msi we install is named "CrystalReports11_NET_EmbeddedInstall.msi" and all the dll versions are numbered "11.0.0.1424".So, is this R1 and I have to upgrade to R2 or my problems are due to something else? Thank you in advance, Marino Della Puppa

    11.0.xxx is R1, not R2.

  • What version of crystal report distribution should I install? CRforVS_redist_install_32bit_13_0_5 or CRforVS_redist_install_64bit_13_0_5

    Hi,
      On Production server, we use window 2008, 32 bit machine, the application is visual studio 2010, sql 2012, what version of crystal report should I install for this production server?
      I should install CRforVS_redist_install_32bit_13_0_5 or CRforVS_redist_install_64bit_13_0_5?
      On test server, we use window 2008 R2, 64 bit machine, the application is visual studio 2010, sql 2012, I install both version in order to make the crystal report working correctly on the application.  if I miss one of them, there are some crystal report function doesn't work..
      For production server, we want to install only one, so, could you give me suggestion which version is correct version to make the crystal report work totally correctly on the VS application?
    thanks
    Kelvin

    Hi Kelvin
    First, you should really be using SP 10.
    next, if your app is compiled as 32 bit, deploy 32 bit runtime.
    If it is compiled as 64 bit, deploy 64 bit runtime.
    If it is compiled as Any CPU and deployed to a 64 bit OS, install 64 bit runtime.
