I've created a report in Pentaho Report Designer 6.0.1 with dependent parameters. Published the same to Pentaho BI Server 6.1. The report runs perfectly in the PRD in Preview and i'm able to see the data. Also, there are no errors thrown during publishing the report as well. But after publishing, when i try to launch the report, the link opens up blank with the loading spinner just rotating forever. I checked the logs in the biserver as well (catalina.out and pentaho.log), apart from 1 error during launch (java.io.UTFDataFormatException: encoded string too long: 78805 bytes), there is no other error seen. Not even during the report load.
Can someone please tell me what is going wrong here?
Check your SQL behind the report. I've had some similar problems whilst trying to run some reports from the server on 6.0.
The problem I faced had to do with me not manually typing the correct typecasts. e.g. active = 1 instead of active = TRUE (basically I was creating "bad" SQL's). After I made those changes they launched correctly again.

i have a solution developed in VS 2008 and 3.5 in VB with almost 38 projects (class libraries) in it. This whole thing is big project with almost 140 reports (crystal reports) in it.
now i install Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate with Crystal Report (CRforVS_13_0_7)
and upgraded my solution to .net 4.5 everything works fine.
some of my reports uses a library written in VB.net CRUFL for InWord support in indian rupee format
now i am facing problem with upgrading reports to new crystal report format.
when i open any report file and verify and save it asks me to save in new crystal report format if i choose yes to upgrade i get error from crystal code generator
Custom tool error: "Code generator 'ReportCodeGenerator' failed. Exception stack = CrystalDecisions.Shared.CrystalReportsException: Load report failed. ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: UFL 'u212com.dll' that implements this function is missing.

What I figured out that the problem is with CRUFL function,
If I comment function in formula and just return normal string in it
and flow the process report upgrades and works fine.
If I add new report and use this function is formula that also works
fine.
I created completely new library written in 4.5 for any upgrading
wizard errors but the behavior is same.
This is clear I cannot create all these reports again in new version, count is huge and some of them are very complex.
Am I missing something of is there anything I have to study first before upgrading my project
Please suggest
one more thing OS is windows 8.1 Pro
Found a temporary solution for it. This seems to be a bug in crystal designer in visual studio on windows 8.1
Temporary solution is:
Right click on report file and select properties
Remove “CrystalDecisions.VSDesigner.CodeGen.ReportCodeGenerator” from
Custom Tool.
Now report designer will not raise any error for any changes or
testing, do updates or changes and save report.
Close designer of report
Now open properties and past
“CrystalDecisions.VSDesigner.CodeGen.ReportCodeGenerator” in custom
tool and press enter. This will generate code for report without any
error and report will also work fine
This will generate code for report without any error and report will also work fine
This definitely a bug in crystal report for visual studio I don’t know how to submit this bug to SAP but I will search and submit this to crystal report to help them improve this. Meanwhile this is a solution worked for me.
you can find communication regarding this here http://scn.sap.com/thread/3452634
EDIT
but now new issue after using above method report is not accepting any select filter and showing all data from database with select statement.
working on it... any help please
EDIT
Found solution for this also amazing, this is happening only with reports with UFL in same viewer OK
found solution here http://scn.sap.com/message/8179989#8179989
what you have to do is to remove following two lines from from designer where your viewer control is.
crystalReportViewer.SelectionFormula = ""
crystalReportViewer.ViewTimeSelectionFormula = ""
EDIT
now i updated my crystal report to service pack 8 (v. 13.0.8.1216)
Link http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-7824
But no luck still using method mentioned above
EDIT
i updated to crystal report service pack 10 (v.13.0.10.1385) & VS 2013 (64Bit windows 8.1 update 1)
but still no luck, using above method
I received a similar error code in C# VS2010. I got it when adding Parameter fields to SubReports. It seems to happen before I link a field to the Parameter from the Main report. Just setting the links after creating the parameter seems to make the error go away again.
I know this is an old post but I got this error and my fix was different...
Basically the error is responding to an out of date EF formula. I got the following answer through Viewpoint support..
OLD func. syntax throwing error: EFCityStateZip ({APPB.City},{APPB.State}, {APPB.Zip})
New func. syntax that works: ({APPB.City}&', '&{APPB.State}&' '& {APPB.Zip})
I'm facing an error with a .prpt file.
While running the prpt in report designer it just works fine .
But when the same prpt ran in PUC (user console), the report contents are not displayed.
It is a simple report containing total 8 columns with only text and number fields in the detail section and only labels (formulated also) in headers.
Please help with your valuable tips
Check the server logs - there'll be an exception. I've seen this before - frequently it is due to layout issues, not sure why but for some reason in some cases the server bombs, yet the client does manage to render it. Double check the obvious like overlapping elements etc.
Also check the version of your PRD client, and the exact version of the reporting libraries on the server, they MUST match.
I've seen this happen when you have a prpt file that was created in an older (or newer) version of PRD than the server. You'll get javascript errors and onscreen you'll just see a blank page/tab. Make sure your version of PRD matches the server version.
I get following error on subreport "data retrieval failed for the subreport please check the log files". When I run separate reports it works fine but when I include as subreport it gives the above error. Pleas help me thanks.
The actual text is down to when you don't call this in the SubreportProcessing event handler of the ReportViewer.LocalReport object.
Dim tbl As DataTable = GetDataForYourSubReport()
Dim rptDataSource As New ReportDataSource("DataSet1", tbl)
e.DataSources.Add(rptDataSource)
The error message from the report viewer component is particularly unhelpful though, there are no log files, it's talking about log files from the application that may or may not exist!!
I had the same error mesage where on some machines you got the error you describe but on some you don't.
It was due to the fact that the e.ReportPath was null where it should have contained the report name.
This lack of ReportPath Was a bug in an older version of the Report Viewer DLL that was installed in the GAC on the machines where it breaks (The one that ships with SQL Server 2012 has a bug where the e.ReportPath parameter is passed in as null)
If you do have code in the SubreportProcessing event handler get the "machine specific" behaviour then try downloading and installing the latest "Microsoft Report Viewer 2012 runtime" on the machines where it breaks.

I've got an older VB.NET 2008 project, which uses Crystal Reports. In order to access the .rpt files I used Microsoft.InteropFormTools assembly. This has worked OK for a number of years. What this does is allows the user to specify what amounts to parameters to the reports in the Crystal Reports, and then click a button and out prints the report. (The user is not interested in previewing the report, so it prints directly to the printer, using Crystal.) The one problem, which I've never been able to figure out, is that sometimes (how, and under what circumstances I don't know, because I can reliably reproduce the error) loading the Crystal Report will cause an error flag to come up. Next Crystal will insist that the user enter parameters to the report before it previews them. OF course the users don't know what's going on, so what we've done in the past is just have the user start it over again, and Crystal normally is happy and sends the report to the printer.
However, we've got new users coming on board to do this, and they're not as forgiving. When I wrote this app 4 years ago, I let the CPU be “Any CPU”. I'm wondering if that could be the root of my problems with these Crystal reports not coming out. So, I've gotten into the project, and changed it from “Any CPU” to “x86”, which really is more appropriate, especially since our old version of Crystal is 32-bit. However, now that I've done that I've got a new error message popping up. Visual Studio 2008 is telling me that, “The system cannot find the reference specified”. In this case the missing reference is Microsoft.InteropFormTools. No other changes have happened to this application in 3 years, besides my changing the project configuration from “Any CPU” to “x86”. Could that be what's causing it to not be able to find the path to Microsoft.InteropFormTools?
We are running Crystal Reports on a Windows Server 2008 with .NET framework 3.5 SP1.
I have seen many causes of the general error "The request could not be submitted for background processing." on other forums, however they tend to be persistent and repeatable affecting just a single report due to a specific formatting issue with a specific report.
We are seeing this error with the below stack trace, intermittently.
It affects multiple different reports we have.
It affects one particular report more frequently than other reports.
Once a report is affected the same error will often appear in multiple reports at approximately the same time eg. for the next 10 minutes.
The same report run with the same parameters may work when run again (soon after) or the application may need restarting before the report can be successfully re run.
These reports all worked previously without issue. No change in server or code seems apparent which would have precipitated this error. All code behind for this is VB.NET
We have had difficulty reproducing it in test environments and upgrading to the latest version of Crystal has not helped at all.
Any help or suggestions that you might be able to make to resolve this issue would be appreciated.

After many days, finally I discovered what is the root of problem, in case you are including jpg images in your report.
The thing is that CR for VS2008 or later versions, can’t handle jpg files in CMYK mode. CR only can handle jpg files in RGB mode.
It’s funny that lower versions of CR (the one that came with VS2003) could handle any kind of jpg files. Thanks, Crystal.
For me the issue was with the Temporary Crystal Report that gets generated in the TEMP folder in Windows. There is a limit to the number of Temporary Crystal Reports that can be generated by Crystal report engine while processing it in a loop. Either the space in Temp folder runs out due to low memory in C drive or the limit of reports is reached after which in one single run crystal report cannot export further. It will give the error mentioned in question.
For me this issue was recurring at every 500 reports that were processed (I was generating the reports say, for a year and exporting them to a system folder one by one using my application)
The solution is simple. Always close and dispose the temporary .rpt Crystal Report file after exporting it .
for i as integer=0 to reportcount -1
Dim rpt as New MyCrystalReport
Dim filename as String = "MyReport" & i & ".Pdf"
//Query the DB obtain the dataset then set the datasource to the report
...
//Export the report
rpt.ExportToDiskCrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat,fileName)
rpt.Close()
rpt.Dispose()
next
Isolate the report generation code.
Our final resolution was to take the code that was generating the report and move it into its own isolated service. Our original service then calls our new Crystal service with the relevant parameters and Crystal RPT file. This is obviously a costly solution as it involves modifying all report generation code to call the Crystal service instead. The Crystal service does not exhibit the error. The code had not changed besides that, so we can only presume the cause of the error was some interaction of the Crystal reports engine and the environment within our application.
Is there a chance the report object is leaked in the server's memory? I ran into a similar case where the report object was being stored into a Session object, so the report didn't need to get reloaded as the user navigated between pages. However, when the user was done with the report, the object remained in the Session, and wasn't cleaned up properly when the Session was destroyed by the server. I had to add a bit of code in the Session_End event in global.asax to find the report object and call the dispose method on it.
The fact that this appears intermittently but then affects all reports for a matter of 10 minutes makes me think it could be session-related. In my situation the server reached a limit on the number of reports that could be created on the server (in memory) because they weren't being released. The symptoms were similar to yours.
Hope this helps!
Try this: If you left any blank space at crystal report(header,footer or any sections) suppress it. that's all. I had this problem and i fixed this way.
I too have come across such issue, where I figured out the Column having Photographs was creating the issue. The way out was to convert the photograph (Datatype Image in SQL Server) from .NET Data set to byte and then save it as Bitmap. After , that this same BMP file can be converted to bytes and replaced to appropriate column of the identified row. By this the space reduced to a great extend and then after exporting the Report document and Datatable was disposed properly.
