Is anyone know any tools to convert crystal report files to jreport files?
I have hundreds of crystal report files need to be migrated to the new system using jreport.
AFAIK, there is no such tool. Perhaps contact DataTerrain. They offer tools for report conversions.
Assuming your transition aims at delivering web dashboards and self-service analytics via a web browser, there are 3rd-party Crystal Reports tools that can automate the generation of such web pages directly from Crystal Reports. Ken Hamady maintains a list of 3rd-party Crystal Reports automation tools. His list also includes report conversion tools.

Is there any 3rd-party tool that can refresh RPTR (Read-Only) files?
I don't want to deliver the RPT files to the clients, I don't want them to access the Design.
Please advise
Thank you
All the modern ones can.
The SAP Crystal Reports Viewer can't, but the 3rd-party ones (those that use the runtime for Crystal 2011 or later) can.
I would like to migrate the reports from crystal reports to any free reporting tools. However, I don't want to rewrite the report in the new reporting tool. Are there any reporting tools which can read the crystal report files?
Is there a specific reporting tool that you are interesting in migrating to. Crystal Reports is one of the better tools for pixel perfect layouts and products out there are generally not comparable in the rich features available in CR.
Having said that, there are a not many results showing up on basic search. You might want to share more on the the kind of reporting solution you are intending to move to e.g. Is the intended tool a web control/toolkit or standalone reporting solution with scheduling etc.
The only tool that I could find is Crystal Report to SSRS (Yes SSRS is not free but assuming you have sql server this is bundled in for many editions). http://www.crystalmigrater.com/Default.aspx
There is a free RPT file viewer from the vendor - http://www.crystalreports.com/crviewer-confirm
We have a set of Crystal Reports *.rpt files which is used by our VB6 application to display the reports in Crystal Report viewer or Microsoft Word. To accomplish this our VB6 application use craxdrt.dll and crviewer.dll
(Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer Run Time Library & Micorsoft Word and Crystal ActiveX Report Viewer Library respectively).
Due to some issues we would like to remove our application dependencies on craxdrt.dll and crviewer.dll. Since we have lots of .rpt files we are looking for a component which can replace craxdrt.dll and rviewer.dll and can work with the existing .rpt files.
Options:
Crystal Reports Viewer
decouple reporting from your application and use Crystal Reports Server
migrate your application to .Net and use Crystal Reports for
Visual Studio .NET
I have a small site (asp.net) for which i created a few reports using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010.
They are very basic reports and the user only has the option of exporting to pdf (not even to view it in browser before exporting).
The site is hosted in IIS.
For the past few days, the time taken to open a report is varying greatly, which i believe could be due to multiple users opening the report simultaneously.
Reading up some articles on the web, i found out that there are some concurrency limitations with Crystal Reports, but haven't been able to find out the exact details.
So could someone tell me what exactly are the limitations?
How can i overcome these limitations (purchase license?)
what's your datasource on your crystal report? is ir thru stored procedure, tables/command?
if you're using SP as datasource can you show me your SP?
if you're using tables/command as datasource then the issue would be connectivity and resources available in the Server.
I am new to .net Programming.
I want to know the Best Reporting Services.
If I use crystal report, is it install the full crystal report in each client side Systems?.
1) welcome to .NET, we lied about the cake
2) best depends on what you want to do but crystal works very well (I don't get to play with other reporting systems so can't comment really) and it exports to a lot of useful formats.
3) no, there is a crystal reports redistributable that contains just the dlls required by the program to display reports for machines where users do not need to create their own reports.
If you have doubt. Try RDLC report which Visual Studio In build. I am a RDLC report User, Its very simple and not need to install any extra exe's.
