WebElements only show HTML tags (even after following WebElement guides)

Dear Jamie,

I saw your thread below.

Re: WebElements: HTML not rendering when using Bex Query as Source

[WebElements: HTML not rendering when using Bex Query as Source;

Is there any news regarding this issue? I'm having the same issue here. I'm using BW datasource. My BOE, Crystal Report 2008, and Integration Kit are all on SP3 (with no FP applied yet).

My issue is all the WebElements components are shown as HTML tag.

But actually, even when i tried to remove the BW Datasource, the WebElements also don't show up.

Even when i tried a very simple example i see only HTML tags, in that simple example I added WECalculator and WEBuilder using formula syntax below to the report.

Formula @calc (component WECalculator)

WECalculator ("number", "0", "Integer", "Enter an Integer value.")

Formula @builder (component WEBuilder)

stringvar allelements:= {@calc};

WEBuilder(allelements, 1)

I've followed up all the instructions as per WebElements guide, and on the SDN link below.

browser interpretation

Interpreting WebElements in the browser

1) ensure that Can Grow is not checked on for the formulae that contain any webelements.

done

2) ensure that the formula in the designer is only 1 line in height...these 2 are required to make pass through html work in the viewers

done, i insert the 2 formulas to report and it appears as 1 single line.

3) the web server should be restarted after making the change to the web.xml file

done

if the above don't work please provide some more info such as

a) which version of business objects enterprise you are using

BOE, Crystal Report, and Integration Kit all on SP3, so as per the guide as i just change XML config in Apache Tomcat webapp folder 'CrystalReport' (not changing Windows registry). Below are the installation files i used (downloaded from SAP Service Marketplace).

Server

1. BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 SP3 (ENTERPRISE03_0-10007443.EXE)

2. SAP BusinessObjects Integration XI 3.1 SP3, version for SAP solutions (BOBJINTGRSAP03_0-51038935.ZIP) u2013 Server installation

Client

1. SAP BusinessObjects Integration XI 3.1 SP3, version for SAP solutions (BOBJINTGRSAP03_0-51038935.ZIP) u2013 Client installation

2. Crystal Report 2008 v1 (SP3) Win Server on IA32 32bit Full Build (51038906.ZIP)

b) what viewer are you using

I ran the rpt file (saved without using .rpt extension) through InfoView.

c) does the select menu show up in the crystal reports designer html preview mode

It only shows up as HTML tag as well in the Crystal Report designer HTML preview mode.

Please help me.

Kind regards,
