    clients drop network connections every few minutes

    I have the same issue on an XP Professional machine hosted on ESXi 4. It at times loses connection for about 20-30 seconds, then resumes. No pattern, but if I'm connected to the VM for an hour, it will happen 3 or 4 times. I'm just starting to investigate, and will post any information I find here.

    Time Zone Issues in CR10 and CE10

    I've had a issue like that and went around and around with BO support 2 years ago. Mine were the times reported by my auditing report. Basically the system is hardcoded to "Greenwich Mean Time" and you need a function to correct that in your reports. I will deploy the code I found on this forum...

    Crystal Enterprise on a Windows Domain Controller?

    I've a few clients who are running VmWare on their servers and happily share it with CE or BOXI along side other applications. BusinessObjects supports the use of VmWare installs for all their products since 2004, but not Microsoft Virtual PC. Took me a long time to get this 'Offically' from them.

    Moving a CE 10 instance from one server to another.

    You didn't say if the metabase was going away or not, but this info should help. If your Database is not moving, all you need to do is copy the FRS directoy to the new location after installing CE, then point CE to the old metabase. If your database is moving, then create the new database, use...

    "Limits" Option Not Archving Instances In CE10

    I have been struggling with this issue for awhile now, more than a year, so here is the gist of my research. Crystal Enterprise will keep your instances to a set limit, BUT only if you set that limit before there are active instances in the directory (From BO Support). Because we never did this...

    All I want is CE10 Embedded.

    I have been using/managing Crystal since Info Server in 1997. I currently manage an 8 server, 4000+ user dual firewalled system and do consulting cross country as a sideline. Support when you get through to BO, is pretty good. But BO has become preditory towards it's customers, and the ever...

    2005-11-14 - 08:54:51. This isssue reopened because the errors returned. I have shut off WCS(2) on Hillside and removed the reference from Bridlemile WC to stop it from logging error messages. System functioning fine.

    Clustering Servers Causing System Errors

    Well I've narrowed down my issue, and will be testing further today. Since I'm working in production, I have to of course, be very carefull with tests. I have worked out these tests using vmWare instances, but not having load on them, they produced no satifying results. I have methodically...

    BOE XI and Firewalls

    Hi, I have been having this discussion with business objects for the last 6 months. We've had 3 conference calls with their technical people, and I finally have a handle on the situation. The webconnector is gone. The WCA is a part of the application tier and if you want to have the same...

    Clustering Servers Causing System Errors

    Will network support please stand up! Turns out I had 2 problems. 1) MDAC problems were causing connections to hang. Upgrading to the current server pack from Microsoft fixed that. 2) When I had technical services rebuild the operating system, they did not bring all the servers up to the same...

    Clustering Servers Causing System Errors

    Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has had this problem. I recently had a server fail. After rebuilding it, I decided it was time to cluster our environment. After setting the cluster name to CE_PROD and setting all servers in the running system to @CE_PROD, I brought the repaired and cluster named...

    Crystal Enterprise services don't start on reboot....

    We use Sql Server on Windows servers and I get those same messages in the system log when the servers are rebooted. In my instance though, the servers eventually do start and I'm not certain if it is because I set, under Windows services, that each Crystal service try to restart 3 times before...

    I currently manage a large CE 9 network with distributed services. I have various users connecting to Dev. - Test and Prod. through Web Connectors on IIS6 boxes to servers running IIS5 on 2000. Until we added a MS Windows maintenance upgrade to our 2000 boxes, everything worked fine. Now...
