We are looking to use CR to support our application deployment across both .Net and Java frameworks, supporting both Web and Rich clients, and we want to confirm that the reporting content designed and deployed in any framework or client will function in the same way and present output in the same way across every other combination of framework or client?
Thanks for any feedback.
Hi,
I want to integrate reports written in Crystal Reports XI with J2EE application. I have searched the internet to get an idea on how to integrate. I found somehelpful PDFs that describe about it. When I follow those steps, I imported ".ReportClientDocument" from package "com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application", the following statement in JSP failed
reportClientDocument.open(reportName, 0);
Got the following error.
"com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKException: remainingValuesReference---- Error code:-2147467259 Error code name:failed"
When I researched on internet, it was found out that I have to import from "import com.crystaldecisions.reports.sdk.ReportClientDocument;" since I am not running these reports from Report Application Server.
I again researcehd how to get "com.crystaldecisions.reports.sdk.ReportClientDocument" and found that I have to use JRC. But, it seems like getting this jar file is not at least straight forward.
I tried to install the eclipise plugin(Crystal Reports for Eclipse - http://downloads.businessobjects.com/akdlm/crystalreportsforeclipse/2_0/update_site/). But, it complains that " com.businessobjects.crystalreports.integration.eclipse.feature.feature.group [2.0.13.r1733] cannot be installed in this environment because its filter is not applicable."
I also looked at "All-In-One Installation". But, nothing seems to work.
Any help in get these run in a J2EE app is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Satya
Hi,
I need to use two types of charts in a graphic: area and lines. I've read an article where they use a transparent background to place a chart over the other, but they use Crystal Reports. I tried it with Crystal Reports for Eclipse (CRE) but charts are not transparent. How can I do it? Is it possible with CRE?
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I have successfully created and implemented UFL DLLs using C# & Visual Basic into Crystal Reports 2008 but now have a need to use Java UFLs. Using the SAP article that describes how to create a library, I created MyFunctions.java and MyLibrary.java, which I was able to compile into MyFunctions.class and MyLibrary.class. (I did this using the command line.)
My question is, is a Java UFL a .jar file, a .class file or something else? I did archive the .class files into a .jar file but was not able to see the functions in Crystal Reports.
I added all the correct files into the correct paths (CLASSPATH & PATH), including CRConfig.xml. I also changed CR options to Java UFLs only.
Is there any more definitive information about creating Java UFLs?
Thanks.
Ron

Hi! The "Crystal Report Java runtime component" is available as a separate download to "SAP Crystal Reports, Version for Eclipse". So where can I find the javadoc for the API and the Development Guide for the 12.2.216 release of the runtime libraries?

<p>I'm having a very severe problem that is having me completely stalled on any further CR4E evaluation. The worst part is that it's somewhat random. Basically, the way it works, is that if I don't edit any reports in my Eclipse session, then everything is fine. Once I've done something with a report, (I don't know if it's related to just opening a report, going into the crystal reports perspective or editing a report) then I'm almost guarranteed to lock up within the next 5-15 minutes. Here's the catch though, it ONLY happens when some kind of UI event is initiated. This generally means me clicking on something. So for example, clicking on a db connection to expand it or clicking on help or renaming a file, etc. It can be anything. The only pattern is that it doesn't start on its own while the IDE is just sitting their idle. It will occur at random while I'm clicking away at stuff. It also SEEMS to only happen when the web server (Tomcat 5.5) is running from Eclipse although it's difficult to confirm this with certainty. </p><p>When I say "lock up", I mean the CPU suddenly goes to 100% and the entire IDE stops responding. If I don't kill it quickly (through task manager), then I'm really hosed, because other programs (like task manager) will slowly stop responding too.</p><p> </p><p>Anyway, I've tried this on 2 different desktops... XP Home and XP MCE. I started off by downloading the all-in-one package (beta). After installing, I immediately went to Update Manager and updated all updates that were available... So this means Eclipse, EMF, GEF, WTP, CR4E, etc. So I don't know if it has something to do with the latest combination of components. I created a screen dump of all the version numbers, but I don't see a way to upload images in this forum.</p><p> </p><p>Anyway, please let me know how I can offer more information (haven't found a way to get any sort of useful log file) to assist with tracking this down. Or maybe suggest that I rollback to the non-updated download version? </p><p>I've spent all day on just this problem because it's kind of important... and difficult to nail down due to its randomness. And just to reiterate... yes, I am positive that this problem only occurs in conjunction with using CR4E. This is the same IDE and same project that I've been working on for a very long time, so I know it inside and out. Whether it's an Eclipse or a CR problem, I don't know. But I thought I'd start here first.</p><p> Thanks </p>
Where the heck do I go to download the latest Jars for JRC? I am not using Eclipse. I just want the jars. All the links I've found send me back to the old site. When and what was the last release?
Hi,

(We're not really a JDBC shop, so my apologies if this seems easy...)
We need to use Crystal Reports with JDBC because of connectivity with something else. I got the following URL (I've obviously sterilized it for this forum), and it works on VisualStudio:
jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://tiger:2468/monkey_jiradev1;instance=tiger;domain=rabbit
I installed the SQL Server JDBC 2.0 driver from Microsoft, and I added the following to <Classpath> in CRConfig.xml:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server JDBC Driver 2.0\sqljdbc_2.0\enu\sqljdbc.jar;
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server JDBC Driver 2.0\sqljdbc_2.0\enu\sqljdbc4.jar;
(ignore the line breaks, etc.)
Also in the CRConfig.xml, I added the following:
<JDBCURL>jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://tiger:2468</JDBCURL>
<JDBCClassName>com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver</JDBCClassName>
<JDBCUserName>joeschmoe</JDBCUserName>
But when I got to try to create the connection in Crystal Reports 2008 (evaluation), I keep getting:
Failed to open connection.
Details: JDBC driver not found.
Please, can anyone help? I'm trying to prove this works so the big boys will authorize us to buy licenses, but I can't do that if I can't connect.
Thanks so much.

Hi,
I have a trivial request which cannot handle with CR4E: to use JNDI DataSource database connection on Web Server. This was mentioned and some pages here, but I didnu2019t find solution.
Request:
On design phase the customer will use local db connection. That works fine.
On run phase, the report is generation on web server and it need to change the db data source using JNDI data source stored on web server (letu2019s say, it is u201Cdbsourcenameu201D).
Database could be Sybase or Oracle, and maybe new one in future.
Currently Web Server is JBoss 4.2/4.3, but could be WebLogic.
Used API: com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report
In short we need something like:
private static void setDatabaseConnection(ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc) throws ReportSDKException, NamingException {
DatabaseController dbController = reportClientDoc.getDatabaseController();
ConnectionInfos oldConInfos = dbController.getConnectionInfos(null);
for (int i = 0, size = oldConInfos.size(); i < size; i++) {
IConnectionInfo oldConnectionInfo = oldConInfos.getConnectionInfo(i);
HashMap properties = oldConnectionInfo.getAttributes();
String serverType = (String)properties.get("Server Type");
if (serverType.contains("JNDI") || serverType.contains("JDBC")) { // DB access, NOT POJO, Beans, XML
// dbController.setJNDIOptionalName(oldConnectionInfo, "dbsourcename"); - for internal use only
// or something via PropertyBag and dbController.replaceConnection
// or something as xxxx.setXXXXDataSourceXXXX( (DataSource) InitialContext().initialContext.lookup(u201Cu2026u201D) )
}
}
}
Or similar. The dp parameters need to be hidden on JNDI DataSource.
Iu2019m familiar with CR API (Iu2019m working with POJO approach on Web for a moths).
If there is no solution for JNDI approach, what is reasonable enterprise web solution alternative.
Please give concrete answer.
Thanks,
Dejan

I would like to apply Crystal Reports 2008 SP5.
I know SP4 is located in following.
http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-27917
But SP5 is not there.
Could you please tell me where SP5 is?
Hello,
I'm having problems with Crystal Reports for Eclipse when using some reports.
The problem comes with reports that contain toNumeric function with a data that is get from the database, it gives an error that says the string is non-numeric even if it is a numeric string. The formula in the reports looks like this:
...
numberVar cantidad_dias := ToNumber({MYVIEW.NumericText});
...
I know that using isNumeric condition it works well, but it works well too when using Crystal Reports 2008 without any condition, so I think it should work for Crystal Reports for Eclipse and return error only in the case that the string isn't numeric. Is it a bug?
Thanks

Hi,
Anyone pls explain Wht exactly is J2EE Stack?
Regards,
Hari
I am encountering "Unexpected database connector error" while running a report that calls an Oracle 10g stored procedure.
I have a simple JSP that opens a report that calls the stored procedure. In fact, the JSP is straight out of the samples. It opens the report using ReportClientDocument.open, then forwards to CrystalReportViewer.jsp that calls CrystalReportViewer.processHttpRequest. Very standard stuff.
The report is displayed just fine using JRC 11.8. But with version 2, I get the error: com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKException: Unexpected database connector error---- Error code:-2147467259 Error code name:failed
The report runs ok in Crystal Report Designer XI (we don't have CR 2008 Designer yet).
The SP has one cursor:
my_cursor IN OUT SYS_REFCURSOR
No other parameters.
