Visual Studio 2005/2008 and Crystal Reports versions/upgrade questions.

I've tried posting this question on the MSDN forums and gotten no response.
I've downloaded and installed VS 2008 Beta 2.   The versions on the Crystal Reports files included are 10.5.0.1806
I'm currently using VS 2005, with the included Crystal Reports. The versions on those files are 10.2.0.xxxx. I've created an desktop app (in VB) which stores it's data in a database and uses the CR 10 runtime merge modules to generate a report.
I was considering upgrading the Crystal Reports version to XI. I would like to allow customers to modify my delivered report with their own licensed copy of CR XI. I am not providing any functionality within my app to create or modify the delivered .rpt or use it outside my application.
Questions:
Do I need to update the runtime files to CR XI to support rpt files modified with CR XI? Current runtime files are being delivered with the CR 10 merge module.
I see a Crystal Reports for Visual Studio upgrade to CR XI.
Can I update the merge modules to CR XI and still use the CR for VS2005 for development?
Does it make any sense to update CR for VS 2005? Or to get the full CR XI Developer edition? My usage of CR functionality is very limited.
Would there be any benefit to waiting for the release of VS 2008?   How does that change the scenario?
How does Crystal Reports for Visual Studio fit in with the Crystal Reports Lifecycle? It's not mentioned on Business Objects End of Life Dates page . Crystal 10 has a Patch EOL of 31-Dec-07.   Does this apply to CR for VS 2005? Where does 10.5 fit in?
My main concern is allowing customers with CR XI to change the format of my delivered .rpt to run with my app. Adding their company name, logo, etc.   My testing show a CR XI report still works with my current app. But, going forward, what should I deliver and what do I need to use to continue development?

To use Reports designed in XI, you need to use XI or higher runtime, running them in older versions may work, but you may encounter unforeseen issues doing so.
If you are to use VS2005 for development you need to use XI Release 2 (11.5) runtime.
If you are going to use VS2008 for development you need to use Crystal Reports 2008 with Service Pack 0.
The support end of life for versions of Crystal Reports bundled with Visual Studio are linked to what Microsoft's lifecycle for the product is. Generally if there is a workaround for the issue that is simple enough, there will not be a patch created.
The changes you are expecting the customer to do can be accomplished with our RAS SDK which is available without using enterprise starting with Crystal Reports XIR2 SP2.

Active Directory 2008 and Crystal Reporting

Hello,
My company is planning to upgrade to Active Directory 2008 R2. But before we do so, we must understand how our servers & applications interact/work with Active Directory 2008 R2. Could you please answer the following questions in regards to your application Crystal Reporting (version 10):
1.     How does Crystal Reporting interact with Active Directory (AD)?
2.     Is there a specific domain controller hardcoded with Crystal Reporting ?
3.     Does Crystal Reporting support Active Directory 2008 R2?
Your assistance and timely response with this matter is very much appreciated. Thank you.
- Peter

Hi Peter,
Crystal Reports is a standalone install on the local Work Station. AD won't affect it. Unless there is some info you are telling us about how you access CR?
Thank you

Windows Server 2008 and Crystal Reports 8.5 printing issue

I am having a problem when using the crystal reports 8.5 report viewer ocx (ActiveX) under Windows Server 2008.
When logging onto the server through remote desktop, a report can be shown on screen in preview. When this report is printed, and the user requests more than one copy, the printer only ever prints one copy. Is this a configuration of the terminal server, or simply that the ocx control doesn't cater for it?
I am using the Windows Server 2008 "Terminal services Easy Print" drivers on the terminal server.
Any suggestions would be welcome.

Hi Sastry
I can print multiple pages from notepad without any issues. It is only the print from the crystal OCX control that has the issue. It has it's own print dialog box.
Thanks
Peter

Apex and Jasper Report Integration

Hi all,
If someone was interested to try another way for pdf generation from an apex application can try our Report Chunker based on Jasper Report and now avaiable to download on :
[http://sourceforge.net/projects/reportchunker/]
The latest release includes an APEX DEMO APPLICATION.
Any feedback will be welcome.
Edited by: NeOGeO on 23-set-2008 1.28

A few points here.
Documentation:
You need to state what permissions are required.
eg create table, create sequence, create trigger, read/write directory.
You should also mention the authentication method you use.
Fortunately I could figure that out myself.
Now bearing in mind I am your typical target audience, I have no knowledge of Jasper reports, and very little knowledge of java and xml. So I'm now stuck as I don't know what to use for the xml layout or how to write my report.
At least provide an example xml layout, a example report and a link to where the reports cab be obtained.
If we need to have anything on the system before we start (eg jasper reports) then this should also be stated (including minimum required version)
Thats it. Unfortunately I can't go any further until I know more.

Business Objects Edge and Crystal reports integration.

I'm new to the SAP BO application and I would like to know how to allow users to create and publish Crystal Reports via the Business Objects applicaiton. Currently I have published some reports and the users are able to View then via the InfoViewer Web interface. Now I have a request to allow the users to create their own Crystal reports and publish them. The problem is that the users are not part of my companies network but we have a VPN connection that they user to login to the InfoViewer Web front end to view the reports I have published.

Hi Ed,
what for a Database do you mean ? The Repository Database or the Database with your productive Data for Designing the Reports?
1.
When they enter their username and password in InfoView the Application Server (Tomcat) does it.
2.
Via their ODBC connection. Or when you use Oracle via the native client.

SSRS 2008 R2 SharePoint 2010 integration error?

Hi, I have SSRS 2008 R2 in SharePoint 2010 integration mode. I'm getting kind of strange error with below scenario:
1) SSRS report has data-source to SQL Server 2008 R2 database store procedure.
2) SQL Server procedure execute SELECT query using linked server to Oracle database (Oracle driver).
3) SSRS report has parameter call 'Customer' which allows user to filter the data. This customer report parameter drop-down is also get execute SQL store procedure and get data from Oracle linked server.
Oracle database <---------> SQL Server 2008 R2 (SQL procedure & linked server to Ora) <-----> SharePoint SSRS Report
Problem : When user select one customer from parameter drop-down and click 'Apply' to render report it works. But if user change report parameter then it got error. This error is relate to can't execute main SQL procedure Oracle package to linked server.
Not sure why this happening when user select new parameter value and got this error? Interesting enough, I replicate scenario using Visual Studio 2008 and run report with different values by selecting customer parameter and it works perfectly fine! Not sure
why it doesn't work on SSRS report on SharePoint? FYI - all properties to SQL linked server and report data-source are set to default values.
Any idea? like SharePoint do some-sort of caching report data-source or any other hints where things going wrong? Thanks.

Hi KM,
Thanks for your post.
It seems a little strange. Do you mean the reports is working fine with parameter change behavior in report design tool(Visual Studio 2008), however, when you publish this report from design tool to Reporting services SharePoint site, it works with only
default parameter values, once you change the parameter value, you would encounte the error “can't execute main SQL procedure Oracle package to linked server”? If so, I would suggest you to create a SQL Agent job on your SQL Server engine to timely synchronous
data from Oracle database to SQL Server Database, and then you can create report to retrieve the relevant data from SQL Server table objects.
Thanks,

Hi,
BOE 3.1, Crystal Report 2008 and SAP Integration Kit 3.1 installed on the window server 2003.
Trying to build the Crystal Report on top of SAP BI 7.
Set the MDX driver setting in Crystal Report.
In Crystal Report, I click on Create Report from Query.
Now on the Field Explorer, I can see that each Characteristic has generated the following:
Example:
Company Code
-->Company Code Node ID
-->Company Code Parent Node ID
-->Company Code Member Unique Key
-->Key
-->Medium Name
-->Char of accounts (Key)
-->Chart of accoutns (Long Name)
1) I understand that the following are generated by Crystal Report, but where are the Chart of account (Key and Long Name) coming from??? I dont have this in the Query Designer.
There are many other field appears under the Company Code charateristic but I dont know where are there coming from?
-->Company Code Node ID
-->Company Code Parent Node ID
-->Company Code Member Unique Key
-->Key
-->Medium Name
Now, I have drap-and-drop the characteristic Company Code and use it in the Crystal Report.
2) Strange, when I preview the Crystal Report, it is display as Text (Medium Name) where as this is display as Key in Query Designer.
Why?
Please help, thank you.

UCCX 7.0.1SR5 to 8.0 upgrade while also adding LDAP integration for CUCM - what happens to agents and Historical Reporting data?

Current State:
•    I have a customer running CUCM 6.1 and UCCX 7.01SR5. Currently their CUCM is *NOT* LDAP integrated and using local accounts only. UCCX is AXL integrated to CUCM as usual and is pulling users from CUCM and using CUCM for login validation for CAD.
•    The local user accounts in CUCM currently match the naming format in active directory (John Smith in CUCM is jsmith and John Smith is jsmith in AD)
Goal:
•    Upgrade software versions and migrate to new hardware for UCCX
•    LDAP integrate the CUCM users
Desired Future State and Proposed Upgrade Method
Using the UCCX Pre Upgrade Tool (PUT), backup the current UCCX 7.01 server.
Then during a weekend maintenance window……
•    Upgrade the CUCM cluster from 6.1 to 8.0 in 2 step process
•    Integrate the CUCM cluster to corporate active directory (LDAP) - sync the same users that were present before, associate with physical phones, select the same ACD/UCCX line under the users settings as before
•    Then build UCCX 8.0 server on new hardware and stop at the initial setup stage
•    Restore the data from the UCCX PUT tool
•    Continue setup per documentation
At this point does UCCX see these agents as the same as they were before?
Is the historical reporting data the same with regards to agent John Smith (local CUCM user) from last week and agent John Smith (LDAP imported CUCM user) from this week ?
I have the feeling that UCCX will see the agents as different almost as if there is a unique identifier that's used in addition to the simple user name.
We can simplify this question along these lines
Starting at the beginning with CUCM 6.1 (local users) and UCCX 7.01. Let's say the customer decided to LDAP integrate the CUCM users and not upgrade any software.
If I follow the same steps with re-associating the users to devices and selecting the ACD/UCCX extension, what happens?
I would guess that UCCX would see all the users it knew about get deleted (making them inactive agents) and the see a whole group of new agents get created.
What would historical reporting show in this case? A set of old agents and a set of new agents treated differently?
Has anyone run into this before?
Is my goal possible while keeping the agent configuration and HR data as it was before?

I was doing some more research looking at the DB schema for UCCX 8.
Looking at the Resource table in UCCX, it looks like there is primary key that represents each user.
My question, is this key replicated from CUCM or created locally when the user is imported into UCCX?
How does UCCX determine if user account jsmith in CUCM, when it’s a local account, is different than user account jsmith in CUCM that is LDAP imported?
Would it be possible (with TAC's help most likely) to edit this field back to the previous values so that AQM and historical reporting would think the user accounts are the same?
Database table name: Resource
The Unified CCX system creates a new record in the Resource table when the Unified CCX system retrieves agent information from the Unified CM.
A Resource record contains information about the resource (agent). One such record exists for each active and inactive resource. When a resource is deleted, the old record is flagged as inactive; when a resource is updated, a new record is created and the old one is flagged as inactive.

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 Viewer 2008 and parameter fields

Hello,
I saw this product on the main Crystal Reports site this afternoon and decided to download it to try it out. I have a number of users who would benefit from being able to preview their report results prior to actually running the report. This seems like the perfect product. I have a large number of Crystal Reports which were created in Crystal version XI. I also downloaded the free 30 day version of Crystal Reports 2008 yesterday to see what new features are there.
While testing Crystal Reports Viewer, I tried to run one of my reports which needs a parameter to run properly (account number). This type of parameter is needed for probably 98% of this business' reports.
The problem: Crystal Reports Viewer does not prompt me to input the parameter. In my actual Crystal Report, I had the box "Save Data with Report' left unchecked, as the account number frequently changes. However, if that box is left unchecked, Crystal Reports Viewer will give me the error message "No Saved Data. This report file does not contain saved data and cannot be viewed. To get data into the report, please open and re-save it in the Crystal Reports designer application with the "Save Data with Report" option selected."
Thinking that possibly it was the version of Crystal Reports in which the report was created (XI), I downloaded the free trial of Crystal 2008 and created a very simple test report with one parameter for account number where the account number is retrieved from our database. And I am having the same trouble.
The "Help" section of Crystal Reports Viewer tells me that I can select my parameters in the parameter panel. I do not see anything in my parameter panel other than the words "Current Data Set Last refreshed: 04/12/10 2:58 PM". The help tells me that I can "select the parameter directly in this panel by entering a new value", but there is no option to do so.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks,
Noel

What I've learned is that I was originally using Crystal Viewer XI and upon opening it I received a message indicating there was an update.
I ran the update which put me on Crystal Viewer 2008.
Since then I have not been able to refresh my screen to bring up the parameters.
See the attached forum for another post concerning this same issue.

Crystal Reports 2008 and Sharepoint Services in 64bit

Hi,
I have searched and post questions about the problems with the fact that thera are no great support for 64 bit. And still no solution. Why? Why? Why?
Now to my question. I have Crystal Reports 2008 in a Windows 2008 64 bit. Yes, I have got it running with the help of: Enable32bitAppOnWin64. But now to my problem...
I want to run Sharepoint Services 3.0 on the same server. But read on Microsoft.com:
The hardware and software requirements described in this article apply to both x32-bitu2013based and x64-bitu2013based systems. However, if you installed the 64-bit version of Windows Server 2008 and then modified the Enable32bitAppOnWin64 registry key so that Internet Information Server (IIS) is running in 32-bit emulation mode, you cannot install Windows SharePoint Services 3.0. To install either 32-bit or 64-bit Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 you must run IIS in 64-bit mode.
Does this means that I cannot run my webapp and Sharepoint Services on the same machine just because you havent find any solution to the 64-bit problem? What to do???
/R

Raymond,
We have 64 bit runtime for Crystal Reports Basic that comes with Visual Studio .NET 2008. The version number for CR Basic is 10.5.
It sounds like you are out of luck if you want to use Crystal Reports XI R2 or Crystal Reports 2008 because there are no plans to release native 64 bit assemblies in those versions.
