Crystal 2008 deployment question

[Former Member]

The test application is ASP.NET 2 WebApplication (C#) with only one control added the page u2013 CrystalDecisions.Web.CrystalReportVierwer (version 12.0.2000.0) u2013 empty report with only one text field.

For deployment - added Web Setup Project:

dotnetfx.exe (2); WindowsInstaller (3.1); and Cassini for ASP.NET (2) (UltiDev)

CRRuntime_12_0.msm, CRRuntime_12_0_maps.msm, CRRuntime_12_0_mlb.exe

The problem is that deployed application (installs without errors) crashes with jscript error u201CBobj is undefinedu201D (test project can be provided).

What does this error mean? What I am missing?

Thank you in advance.

Hi Marina,

It might be possible that the jacascript file get currupted.

To resolve this issue follow the steps given below.

1. Copy the aspnet_client folder from the machine on which the application is running with out error.

- Path of the file is - C:\inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet_client

Note:- Create backup of that file before editing.

Paste the folder on the same location on the machine on which error is occured.

If that doesn't work, look at your IIS logs and see what they indicate the issue is.

hope that works!!

Amit, my development machine does not have

C:\inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet_client folder

everything runs on webdev asp.net server...

Would it be ok to copy from Program Files C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\4.0\crystalreportviewers12 ?

Thank you.

I tried it, but no luck. Same error. So jscript files are correct...

Try with this file - C:\WINDOWS:\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\ASP.NET ClientFiles\CrystalReportWebformViewer3\JS

Amit,

on the development machine the C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\ASP.NETClientFiles\CrystalReportWebFormViewer4\js

contains different folders and some common than on test machine (?),

but i copied JS to the test machine. Unfortunately it didn't make a difference - same error in the same place. When i open in debug, i see this:

WebForm_InitCallback();bobj.crv.stateManager.setComponentState('CrystalReportViewer1__UI',eval('('document.getElementById('__CRYSTALSTATECrystalReportViewer1').value')'));

where i believe bobj is not available... i wonder why...

download the utility called filemon from [here:|http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/filemon.mspx]

and do the following:

1) Load Filemon

2) Press Ctrl + L. This will bring up the filter window.

3) In the 'include' text box, put the name of the aspnet worker process, without the full path. ie: aspnet_wp.exe (ok)

4) Click <OK>

5) Press Ctrl + X to clear the display.

6) run your application, get it to the point where it errors.

7) Save the filemon log. File -> Save as

😎 Look for files where the 'result' column is not successful.

The File Monitor does not show any activity when i specify filter (C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_wp.exe)

I found the problem on my test machine -

the C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727 directory was MISSING the whole folder - ASP.NETClientFiles!

which also contains folders:

crystalreportviewers12

CrystalReportWebFormViewer3

CrystalReportWebFormViewer4

comparing to the test - my developer machine has correct directory structure... so the deployment package?...

Note: I have the latest updates for Crystal 2008:

CR2008_sp0

cr2008_fp1

cr2008_fp2

for deployment i used

CRRuntime_12_0_mlb.exe (3/5/2008)

CRRuntime_12_0.msm (09/06/2008)

Now it works (SWFs feature on deployment machine works too).

Thanks for help.
