Windows Server 2008 x64 and Crystal Reports Server Embedded

We're attempting to certify our software with Windows Server 2008 x64 and want to know the best way to configure both the server and client of Crystal Reports Server Embedded.  Currently, our software is certified against Windows Server 2003 x86, and we install Crystal Reports Server Embedded XI Release 2 (no SP) on the application server, and we deploy the Crystal Reports .NET merge modules for XI Release 2 (no SP) on any client machines.
I believe I am correct in stating that no version of Crystal Reports Server Embedded officially supports Windows Server 2008 x64 (based on some other forum postings) until SP1 comes out (which I don't think has happened at this point).  If that is true, we can live with installing the RAS on a separate Windows Server 2003 x64, if that's even possible.  With that said, can we even get our Windows Server 2008 x64 running with the latest Crystal Reports 2008 .NET merge modules?  We've tried many different configurations between CR XI R2 SPs and CR 2008 for both client and server and have very little luck (either it won't install correctly because of x64 or missing .cabs, etc.) on both the client and server side of things.
Can someone suggest the optimal configuration when Windows Server 2008 x64 is in the mix, noting that we can use a secondary Windows Server 2003 (x64 preferred but can fallback to x86)?  Or do we have to wait for Crystal Reports Server Embedded 2008 SP1 to be released, and if so, does anyone know of the date?
Thanks,
Ross Beehler

CRSE 2008 is a 32 bit app, it works on 64 bit OS's but all parts must also be running in 32 bit mode.

    How to use Crystal Report Viewer Version 12 instead of Crystal Report Version10 in Vs2008

    see this post:
    Can CR2008 be used with VB6 ?
    COM is a deprecated technology. Became deprecated along with Vb 6 not being supported by MS.
    Thus .NET or Java are your solutions at this time.

  • Windows 2008 Web Server and Crystal Reports Runtime 10 comptability

    We have migrated a website that was previoulsy on a Wndows 2003 server using IIS6 and Crystal Reports Runtime v 10 on ASP.NET 2.0
    After migrating the website, and installing the Crytal Reports runtime, we are getting application errors related to Crystal Reports Runtime in event viewer and the browser.
    For one is Crystal Reports Runtime v10 compatible with Windows 2008 Server, IIS 7 ?

    No it is not. You're looking for about a 5 year forward compatibility. At this time, only CR 2008 (12.x) and Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008 (10.5) are supported on WIN 2008. See [this|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=56787567] blog for more details.

  • VS2008/VS2005 and Crystal Reports 2008 Developer

    Hi,
    1.) I am using VS2008 and Crystal Reports 2008 Developer. Are there any issues I need to consider when developing using both of the above? (or with VS2005)
    2.) The confusion for me is in regards to the SDK. From what I understand from articles etc is that using CR 2008 dev we can use the .NET SDK or RAS SDK for development purposes?
    3.) So downloaded the sample code for RAS .NET from [here|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/businessobjects-samples?rid=/webcontent/uuid/80774579-b086-2b10-db91-ed58c4dda375] and tried "DatabaseLogon_CS" example, as the option. It automatically opened in VS2005 (no problem) however it would not run.
    I would get an error :
    Failed to connect to server "localhost".
    Error returned from Windows Sockets API : 0.
    and line causing this is >>> rcd.Open(ref path, 0);
    Code below:
            string sampleReportPath = @"C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\Samples\en\Reports\Demonstration\World Sales Report.rpt";
            object path = (object)sampleReportPath;
            // Create an instance of the ReportClientDocument.
            ReportClientDocument rcd = new ReportClientDocumentClass();
            // Set the location of the RAS server.
            rcd.ReportAppServer = "localhost";
            // Use the Open() method of the ReportClientDocument to open the report.
            rcd.Open(ref path, 0);
    I have been able to open the RPT file by itself. So it does 'see' the database.
    Reason why it would not run?
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    If you're using the sample code from our website, make sure you have uncommented the InprocRAS option in the ConfigureCrystalReports method (see below). From your error description it seems like you're using the unmanaged RAS option, which requires a RAS server.
    private void ConfigureCrystalReports()
            /* The following methods implement the same sample functionality in three different RAS
             * scenarios. Uncomment the method you would like to use.
             * - inprocRAS() logs onto a databse using RAS and SQL authentication.
             * - managedRAS() logs onto a database using RAS and SQL authentication from a managed RAS server.
             * - unmanagedRAS () logs onto a database using RAS and SQL authentication from an unmanaged RAS server.
             * Undocument the call to the method which applies to your appropriate RAS settings.
            DatabaseLogon_inprocRAS();
            //DatabaseLogon_managedRAS();
            //DatabaseLogon_unmanagedRAS();

  • Crystal reports and crystal report viewer

    Hi.
    I have up to recently used crystal report version 11.5 and reports have been made available for users in the organisation via Crystal report viewer.2010 ver 11.2.1.3.
    The reports have been saved without data, and the different parameters have been available for the users for them to select approriate dataset,.
    I have now upgraded Crystal reports to version 2013 ver 14.1 and crystal report viewer to same version.
    The problem now is that the parameters are no longer available for the users, and it is also a requirement to save the reports incl a dataset to even open the report in the new report viewer.
    What have I missed? Anyone that can help me ?
    brgds Torunn

    Hi Torunn
    An alternative may be to create a web app using either the Crystal Reports .NET or Java SDK. Depending on what development software you already have, this may be cheaper than CR Server or "BO server". E.g.; both the .NET SDK and the Java SDK are free:
    SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio: Updates & Runtime Downloads
    SAP BusinessObjects - SAP Crystal Reports, Version For Eclipse Download
    The above would be predicated on the assumption  that your org has some developer experience (or is willing to acquire it) and that you have the development software (e.g.; VS 2010, or 2012, or 2013 for the CR SDK for .NET).

  • Help requested on WEBI and Crystal Reports

    Hi All,
    1. Our Sys Admin has installed Business Objects XI Enterprise Server on the Corporate Development Server. The objective is to develop few WEBI objects and Crystal Reports and deploy on the Development Server for further testing. What developer tools I need on my local system to develop WEBI Objects and Crystal Reports?
    2. For crystal reports is there a need to develop universe, or is it possible to fetch from the database directly if the DB meets all the data needs?
    Thanks in advance
    Sunny

    Hi gudurusk,
    For CR creation the you need Crystal Reports. Thats a Report developing Tool which needs to be installed local on your Desktop PC
    WebI is a Java based Reporting Tool. So you create your Reports in a Web Browser. You LogIn to InfoView and click New -> Web Intelligence Document and start.
    Crystal can do both. It can report of a Universe and can by directly connected to your DB.
    Regards

  • BOBJ Auditing - Activity Universe and Crystal Reports

    Here are the user requests.  Are these possible with BOBJ Auditor? There are some sample reports in Infoview Public folders and Activity Universe connection is working.
    1. User and Group access and type of access to all folders and Crystal reports.
    2.Develop a report of the inventory of all scheduled reports indicating report name, location, frequency/schedule and distribution list (include FTP / file location if not e-mail).
    A monthly report would probably be sufficient and would be used to facilitate management oversight of report distribution.
    3.An inventory of all reports indicating report name, location, database connection, scheduled or not scheduled, when created, when last time run, by whom
    4.Automated report for failed instances - Crystal report failures within folders.  Most of the reports are run overnight
    Environment: BOXI R2, Crystal Reports, Activity Universe

    Hello,
    I'll attempt to answer your question. I should point out that not everything you need is an audited event. You might be better served by the Query Builder for some of your requirements.
    1. It is possible to create a list of all folders/ reports a user/group has access to. The type of access a user/group has is not audited.
    2. This is possible (more or less). You might have to move the distribution list portion to a different tab/ report.
    3. Again, I'm uncertain how much of this info is audited. Needless to say, a report that has never been run will have no audit information. Report name and location (i.e. within BOE) are audited. It doesn't look like the database connection is audited.
    4. This is possible and relatively simple.
    Best,
    Srinivas

    difference between Crystal Report 2011 and Crystal Report for Enterprise 4.0?
    I think Crystl Reprt 2011 has more function, is it right?

    Hi,
    I recently attended a SAP Virtual trianing on SAP Business Objects BI 4.0.
    Here are few extracts from that which probably shows some light to you:
    SAP Crystal Reports 2011
    1. UI and associated processing servers remain the same as CR 2008
    2. Incremental update to CR 2008 with a few new features*
    3. Continue to provide current CR 2008 functionality as-is for existing customers
    SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise 4.0
    1. Major update & redesign of the Crystal Reports Designer and associated processing servers
    2. Focus on streamlined report design, reporting against BI 4.0 Universe, & reporting against SAP BW data
    3. Provide the foundation for all future releases of Crystal Reports
    Differences between these two releases:
    Data Source & Usage Type                                       General Recommendation
    1. SAP BusinessObjects BI 4.0                                        SAP Crystal Reports Relational Universe (UNX) for Enterprise

  • Windows 7 pro x64 and palm centro

     I'm running windows 7 pro X64 and the software installed just fine, but not the driver.  Does Palm have any plans for a solution?  Are there any third party drivers that will solve my problem without having to install a bluetooth device on my pc?  
    Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

    Hello rpiquette, Welcome to the Palm Support Community!
    Palm has moved away from their legacy operating system (PalmOS) and on to a new one called webOS.  Since Palm Inc. doesn't even own their own software anymore (Palm Desktop) I'd seriously doubt any further support will be forthcoming for Win7, especially for 64-bit architecture. 
    Palm Inc. has historically not divulged any "future plans" for software (or hardware).   Will a third-party develop a desktop client?  I have no idea at this point, but the opportunity certainly exists!
