This is a new thread with connection to a previous thread

Hi Ludek,

We have this application that has been running fine with reports using CR 2008 in VS2008 ( client/server we have a dedicated report server running CRS2008) , now that I set up the same code in VS2010 and with CR2010( no changes at the report server) this message is occuring and reports just wont work. Nothing else has changed and the old environment still works fine using the same report server and application server. I can see that the report is being generated at the report server but not returned to my calling client, as is the case with our working application.

We are using VB.Net and I am running a win7 64bit

I tried to follow your previous advice wich were :

"As a test, don't use

remoteservername. Use a local folder. Does that work? If so, then trust the access denied error"

When I dont use "
remoteservername" i get the errormessage in the thread name above.

When I use "
remoteservername" in the path I get an access denied message.

When I use a local folder, I get access denied, but that might be because if I have the report locally and the report server is on a server in our network, there could be access problems. Running the samples recommended is working fine with the OpenReport_inprocRAS, but is not working with the OpenReport_unmanagedRAS.

I feel like I am missing some basic stuff here..

Maybe a stupid question, but do I perhaps have to install something at the report server as well, or is CRS 2008 working with this new CR2010 on my client?

Any ideas?

regards Uffe

Hi Uffe,

CR for VS 2010 does NOT include connectivity to CR Server or the BOE 4.0 Server. It's stand alone only which means you cannot use Managed reporting or query the CMS data store for the report object.

You can use the File Store as the report source but you have to manage the folder location tree yourself.

Only option is to continue using CR 2008 runtime and CRS 2008.

Thank you

Hi Don,

Thanks for your reply.

What actually was the start of alll this was our aim to upgrade our application to .Net FW4.0

When doing this , there was problems wth Crystal Report references and that is why we downloaded CR2010 and started doing some labs with this. I wonder, ist there no way we can have .Net FW 4.0 together with CR2008 ?

Perhaps a new version of CRS is coming soon, we heard rumours about a beta being out?

No way to "have .Net FW 4.0 together with CR2008:. Re. next version of CRS, see [this|SAPNetworkWeblogs%2528SAPNetworkWeblogs%2529%26utm_content%3DTwitter] blog.

Well Thanks Ludek and Don,

I still feel that it should be possible to accomplish what we need, given that some other guys got it working by correction of the path to their reports(web solutions). Our application is winforms and all works but the last bit, returning the report to the client.

Access denied - just have to be the way to go.

We use unmanagedRAS and create reports on demand wich is stored in a file share on the report server. I can see that it gets created but somehow there is no handle to it -or I somehow dont have access to it(I hope).

If this is a "no way josè" , then what do I need Crystal -wise to upgrade our application to .Net FW 4.0 ?

CRS 2011 on the server, CR2010(11) in the applikation and then it works with FW 4.0 ?

regards and thanks for looking at these stupid questions guys!

Hi Uffe,

Actually you are kind of stuck in the middle. CR for VS 2010 ( version 13.x ) doesn't support connectivity to CRS/BOE but supports 4.0 FW. As you noted you can as long as the file Store is available but you may have problems with file rights, CMS may use them and lock the Reports etc..

CRS/BOE 4.0 doesn't support 4.0 FW ( at this time - we've requested it be added to the Platforms list )

So you can't upgrade to use 4.0 FW with CR 2008 and you can't use 4.0 FW in CRS/BOE 4.0 which would allow you to connect from a .NET app.

mmmm. All I can suggest is you post to Idea Place and get 4.0 FW added to CRS 4.0 supported platforms.

Technically it should work, Microsoft claims there is no difference and fully backward compatible. The issue is that because it's not in SAP platforms if there are any issues we can't escalate the problem.

Hi Don,

Anything happen in this case yet that can be helpful to us?

CRS/BOE 4.0 support 4.0 FW yet?

We now have to move on with our app, keep up to speed with new technology is a must, if Crystal dont work in our circumstances we may have to leave it and find other technology.

This is not desirable simply due to all the time and effort put into it already.

Can you please advice us on how to best solve the problem or give us any hope at all?

Hello Uffe

There is and SDK for CRS/BOE 4.0 - the SDK is version 14.x. See the blog [Integrating SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 4.0 CRS 2011 .NET SDK runtime into VS2010 IDE|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/27897] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken]; to find out how to obtain the SDK.

Then, look at the following wikis that describe how to integrate the SDK into VS2010 and how to deploy the runtime:
