I had a customer this week who updated a report to read Oracle instead of SQL Server.7-day free trial for Live TV and 30-day free trial for Add-Ons valid for new and eligible existing subscribers only. The report was based on a command and the SQL was virtually identical.

But for some reason the Oracle version would take a full 5 minutes to refresh while the SQL Server version only took a few seconds. Once the report was run in Oracle the first time it could be refreshed using different parameters and it would only take a few seconds. I had the customer check for indexes but those had been set up to match SQL Server. I wondered if it was a data cache, but that didn’t explain why setting new parameters would be fast. The only other thing that I could think of that was unique to the first refresh was a setting in Crystal that does a “Verify Database” on the first refresh. This usually takes a few seconds and isn’t noticeable, but as a test I turned that feature off. The first refresh was now as fast as SQL Server. Apparently, something in their environment caused the “Verify” process to take 5 minutes to complete. If you run into something similar, go into File > Report Options and look for the check mark that says “Verify on First Refresh”. Unless your environment is changing frequently, this doesn’t need to be checked, although in most environments you won’t notice a difference. If you aren’t familiar with the “Verify” feature you can invoke it at any time by using the option in the database menu. This forces Crystal to poll the database for a complete list of fields for every table used by the report, including the data types. #Crystal reports 2013 free trial fullĬrystal stores this info in the report, which gives you a full field list even when you aren’t connected to the database. Whenever fields are added, removed or their data type is changed this list needs to be updated. That is what it means to “Verify Database”. I recently helped a new user who wanted to purchase Crystal Reports, but wasn’t sure what product(s) to buy. He had read about a server component, a ‘developer’ component and a viewer, but wasn’t sure what the names were or which he needed. “I saw an architecture diagram that broke it into tiers, but that did not help.” The SAP website didn’t clear things up for him. This isn’t the first time I have had this type of question, and I thought my response might help other users. There are three levels in the Crystal product line (four if you count the Business Objects Enterprise level) but most users only need one, SAP Crystal Reports. This is often called the Report Designer or the Developer, but the official name is SAP Crystal Reports. You can currently buy 2 different editions: It is the only product that lets you create a Crystal Report.

If you get a free trial from the product page I think you will get 2020, but if you buy it you can choose either edition. I currently use 2016 because the 64-bit product is relatively new. I also use lots of third party tools that aren’t ready to jump to 64-bit and I don’t want to leave them behind. The other products are Crystal Server and SAP Crystal Reports Viewer.

Crystal server is a web portal that lets people run the reports from their browser. But, you still have to create them in Crystal Reports and then publish them to the portal. The Crystal Reports Viewer is free but is pretty much useless in my opinion. It lets you open reports, but only those that are saved with data. You can’t refresh reports unless you are logged into CR Server. There are plenty of inexpensive third-party viewers out there so not many of my customers bother with the SAP Viewer. Here is a list of the ones I review each year. If you have any questions about the Crystal Reports product line, let me know and I will try to help. Several of my customers read Excel spreadsheets, Microsoft Access MDB files and even text files using DAO connections. This are simple connections made by pointing directly to the data file.
