Backstory:
I just upgraded our JasperServer to 7.8.0. All of our reports have the Always prompt checkbox checked under input controls.
In the old version (5.something) the reports are prompting in page like they are supposed to. Meaning that when a report is loaded the user has to give parameters and click the apply button.
The new server loads the report first. Sometimes when using default values our reports will be hundreds of pages and take forever if they ever do load. Just to have the wrong information and give the user a prompt for parameters. I have set the Display mode to every possible option as well as checking and unchecking Always prompt.
Has anyone else had an issue with 7.8.0 ignoring Always prompt?
How can I make it so that the report will prompt first?
Solution*
Change display mode of prompt to pop up window from in page or any of the others.
*Not a very good solution but it allows users to use the reports. Unfortunately this is a bug with JRS 7.8 but has beef fixed in pro. Hopefully they will fix this in 7.9.

Those are actually two different questions but still they are connected. I am trying to make a script to automate the installation of company PCs for new employees.
An old script used to work fine but as of the 1703 update (or some time prior. No-one really knows), the changes no longer do their job and I cannot seem to find a fix.
The task:
Change the default browser from Edge to Internet Explorer
Set the IE homepage to "https://www.google.com"
Concerning the first problem: I have tried changing the Registry entries at
HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Associations\UrlAssociations\http(s)\UserChoice\ No luck there. I have also tried exporting and the setting using DISM but importing them back has proven to be beyond my capabilities (Basically, I ran into this problem: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/d5fad871-8f5e-4c74-abaf-627809f8844b/ I cannot programatically change the settings for an existing user)
When facing the second problem, I tried searching the registry for the default site "go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p?LinkId=..." and changing the values. At one startup (After I modiffied the registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main value "Start Page"), IE displayed a prompt to the user informing them that an external appliation wishes to change the homepage but no change actually occured. And this only happened once (even after I changed the value again to a different site)
A preferred method would be using Powershell but after googling and ripping my hair out for two days straight, I am open to any suggestions. If it makes any difference, it's a 64-bit Windows 10 Pro
On only certain reports, Crystal Reports crashes and gives this error (see attached picture).
I am still relatively new to Crystal and am not sure how to diagnose this error or where to find error logs that might point me in the right direction. I came across a post somewhere about windows version compatibility, but I'm not sure if that's it.
I'm running Crystal Reports product version 14.1.2.1121 on Windows 10. Has anyone else run into this issue?
Try to install Crystal Reports in Windows 8.1, then later update your OS to Windows 10,then it will work fine :)
This is something that may happen from time to time in CR, except if you get this every time you open a report in particular or too often. Although the information need some additions. Is this on client or developer end?
May you have to do following steps:
1. Right-click My Computer, then click Properties then click the Advanced tab.
Click the Performance Settings button then click the Data Execution Prevention tab.
Select the Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select: check box.
Add all of the Crystal Enterprise executables.
click ok. and close the window. open crystall report now.
Some reports have been updated and work as before (can be viewed through a .net app and not prompt for credentials).
Other reports have started prompting for credentials since they've been changed. This happens even if the change is just moving something on the report.
I've tried deleting everything on the report apart from a label and this hasn't made any difference.
There's no difference in the .net code in how these reports are displayed.
All the reports are using the same DSN datasource.
If the credentials aren't stored in the report, I'm not sure how only changing the report can make this difference?
Update to add: Crystal reports v9.2.2.634
Came back to this today. Tried changing a report that I'd previously edited and was working OK, just to see if all reports edited after a certain point were going wrong, and this worked fine.
Tried altering one of the broken reports again (just adding a space to the end of a label), saved this and that report now works fine.
No idea what actually made this work, but if you get the same problem you could try editing a previously edited working report and trying again.
Confused.
I am new to SSRS, but have begun migrating our reports to that for my organization. I have 3 reports set up at this time, but have run into a problem. Viewing any of the reports in Report Builder works just fine, but viewing 2 of the 3 in IE (also tried Chrome, Firefox, Opera) is only sporadically successful. Report server is set up on database server, and nothing in the queries being run would tax the system.
I know the security settings are correct, as I can access everything without permissions errors; I know the reports work, as I can freely use them in Report Builder and sometimes from the browser; and I am able to always access one of my three reports through the browser. All have the same security, are in the same folder, and I have gone through the same steps to load each of them. The only difference is that the one that always loads is much simpler than the other two as far as volume of data.
Now, to explain what I actually see when this happens. I set my parameters, and click View Report, and the loading icon pops up for about 1/10th of a second, then disappears. The toolbar does not appear, no data appears, and no error message is present. Every once in a while, it all works perfectly. Most of the time, only 1 of the 3 reports works. I've tried without success to find this issue raised elsewhere -- my apologies if I missed it. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
edit details: SQL Server 2008 R2, on Windows Server 2008 R2, IE9 from a Windows 7 desktop.
If you inspect the SSRS error log it may reveal more of the issue. Sounds like a processing error that was not gracefully handled. Inspect the file \SERVER\\MSRSXX.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\LogFiles and find the current log file to view the exception. Depending on how the client is set up some errors may not show.
We are currently evaluating install4j and things are going pretty well, however I have a question about auto-update.
Currently I see options and documentation around 3 options for auto-update and the third one (no version check) seems
to be the closest to what we need. However it sounds as though it still prompts the user to actually start the download/install. Is there
any way to get around this? We are targeting our software as a service on many windows boxes in a server room, so there isn't a user
to click continue for that last step. I believe we can roll our own service to monitor for upgrades that will do a command line
install with an answers file to prevent prompting, but I'd love to know if I missed something that would allow me to utilize
install4j's auto-update.
When you go to Installer->Screens & Actions, click on the "Add" button and choose "Add application", you can choose from a number of pre-defined templates. However, they are just templates and after adding them you can change them completely.
If the updater should be automatic but still show a progress dialog, you can just set the "Default execution mode" property of the updater application to "Unattended mode with progress dialog". In that case, no screens will be shown at all.
