There are two ways or modes of running reports on Jasperserver v.6.0.1. Manually or time-controlled. Is it possible to determine this mode. If mode is time-controlled i want to note this on report.

Initially Dynamic cascading parameters were not working for existing reports written by other analysts. The analysts are using XP systems. When they open the reports, their prompts populate correctly. Mine are blank. We downloaded 2013 to see if it was fixed in this version since XI is so old and is not officially supported on Windows 7. For one day the reports dynamic prompts were populating correctly and we were all excited. I continued on modifying the report, but had an issue and the application got closed non-gracefully. Now no dynamic prompts are populating in the report that was working yesterday. And again, any report that I open with dynamic cascading prompts do not populate. This has been an ongoing issue that we were excited that a resolution had appeared, but now we are back to square one. One of the other analysts was able to open the report again in XI and see the prompts correctly. This is a standalone report. We do not have a Crystal Report Server. We do not have Business View Manager. This issue is occuring in the designer for crystal reports on my computer only. When i copy the report to our test server and use our third party viewer(datalink) the prompts work fine.
Furthermore: Originally because of non-administrative privileges, I had my ODBC Drivers setup in user DSN. With the help of an Admin user, i setup the drivers in System DSN. I reloaded the original production report that I was trying to modify and set the location to my new dev odbc connections. But that still did not load the dynamic parameters.

From Datalink Viewer
Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?
This looks like a connection issue. Is the new OS 64 bits ? If it is, you need to create the ODBC connection using the tool placed in this path: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe
OK. This appears to be one solution. I was working with another laptop, that had a working crystal reports version. BUT, i had to do the whole maximumrowsets fix. Well, I must have messed up because the working crystal reports started doing the same thing. Oops. So I uninstalled crystal reports, deleted any of the registry keys associated with it, deleted any of the folder locations, rebooted and reinstalled and voila...it worked again. so then i used
this site and it continued to work as desired. This probably isnt the only solution, but it definitely worked for me.
I'd also like to thank campagnolo-1 for his tireless assistance.
Once a week I need to run a bunch of Crystal Reports and then email them. I want to know if there's a way to run them automatically? I've tried using Crystal-Delivery, but for some reason it only runs the reports that don't have parameters.
Has anyone used Crystal-Delivery before and have a solution for my problems? Their forum is not very helpful. Or is there other software that can do what I need.
Yes there are various solutions, including Crystal Delivery which I have used successfully with reports with parameters. After adding the report double click, and complete the "parameters" tab.
There's a few ways one can skin this. There are various options to build a pdf from a given report (if you're building in java for instance) and one can fairly easily run the java on a cron, and then have a mail script running on cron to send out those files once they've been created (that mail script could be in php or java or whatever takes your fancy).
I have a report that I run and comes up with different characters based on the {race} field. For example if {race} = Chinese in the report viewer it translates "Chinese: in Chinese characters and for any other race it does the same.
Is this a setting in Crystal reports that I can change this to.
Also if i run the report on a different PC with Crystal runs fine.
What could be the setting that is causing this in Crystal Reports XI
Thanks in advance
Here are the steps:
Click Start > Control Panel.
Double-click Regional and Language Settings.
Change the current language to the one preferred. Click Apply > OK. Restart the OS if necessary.
Restart Crystal Reports designer.
The user interface language has been changed.
Reports that are being delivered via email/fileshare from SSRS work fine but when I try to run those same reports from IE at the management portal (http://reportserver/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx) it doesn't respond properly. At times the browser times out when connecting a report link and doesn't even display the report viewer. Other times the report viewer is displayed but the report isn't rendered. This seems to happen more on reports with larger data sets so I believe it's a timeout issue but I've tried changing what settings I can find and nothing has worked yet. I'm using SQL Server 2008 R2 on a Windows 7 machine. I tried the suggestions in this thread and still have issues with the viewer not rendering the report when it's a larger data set.
We use crystal reports 11.5 and for some reason one of our Report files all the reports are off center in the report preview and when you export to PDF but this happens on ONLY a couple PC's, others work fine.
Any thoughts? Any machine specific settings for Crystal Reports that handles this behavior?
Thanks!
default printer settings? report page setup?
