CR2008 Salesforce TLS 1.1 JAVADIR64 value

[angelica_mariscal]

Hi,

Below knowledge publication makes reference to a note 2261716 but the link is broken. I have CR2008 and have received the error in the attached image. I have CR2008 12.7.3 and am trying to login. I am using the correct URL i.e. login.salesforce.com and password is correct also.

For Crystal Reports 2008, since TLS1.1 and higher version only support java 1.7+, and the default java version integrated in Crystal Reports 2008, and Crystal Reports 2011 is Java JVM 1.6. You have to manually modify the JavaDir64 value in CRConfig.xml file. Please refer to SAP Notes 2261716 to update CRConfig.xml file.

<JavaDir64>C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin</JavaDir64>
5.Save and close CRConfig.xml file.
6.Restart BI server to make the update work.

Note:

a. JavaDir32: Configuration for Crystal Report 201x and BI Client Tools, currently the java version is Oracle 32bit Java 1.7 in BI4.0/ 4.1.
