Crystal APS doesn't start

  • Follow


MS CRM 1.2 on MS SBS 2003 SQL 2000 on same box.

Get the typical license error when I try to run reports in CRM, have tried 
to change logon accounts for CRM Security, Crystal APS, and Crystal Page 
Server. The Crystal APS service just will not start. Below is my Event 
message:

Hi,

SUMMARY

This article discusses how to rebuild the Crystal APS database. Follow these 
steps  if the database has become corrupted in version 1.2 of Microsoft CRM.


MORE INFORMATION

Before you follow these steps, perform a back up of any custom reports.  The 
following steps will remove all reports from the database.  Any custom 
reports must be saved into Microsoft CRM after the process is completed.

1. A log file named addlicenskey.log exists in the Temp folder for the user 
who installed Microsoft CRM.  This is typically located at c:\Documents and 
Settings\<Installing User>\Local Settings\Temp.  Open this file to obtain 
the license key for this installation.  You must have this key in step 
twelve.

If you do not see this log file, see step 4 to obtain the license key from 
the APS_InfoObjects2 table under the ObjName column.

Note:  If you cannot see the Local Settings folder, enable hidden files and 
folders.  Click
"FolderOptions" on the
"Tools" menu, click the
"View" tab, and select the option
"Show hidden files and folders".

2. Click
"Start", point to
"Programs", point to
"Microsoft SQL Server", and then click
"Enterprise Manager".

3. Expand
"Microsoft SQL Servers", expand
"SQL Server Group", expand the
"instance of SQL Server", expand
"Databases", expand
"Organization_Name_CRMCRYSTAL", and select
"Tables".

4. Find the APS_IdNumbers2 table.  If the license key was not found in step 
one, open the
"APS_InfoObjects2" table in SQL Enterprise Manager.  Right-click the
"APS_InfoObjects2" table, point to
"Open Table" and select
"Return All Rows". Under the
"ObjName column" the license key will exist in the following format: 
{00000-0000000-0000000}.  Save this value in Notepad or another location 
that can be referenced later. This is the Crystal APS license key.  Close 
the APS_InfoObjects2 table.

Find the "APS_IdNumbers2" and "APS_InfoObjects2" tables.  Right-click each 
table and then click
"Delete".  Select to drop the tables when prompted.

5. Click
"Start", point to
"Programs", point to
"Crystal Enterprise 9", and then click
"Crystal Configuration Manager (CCM)".

6. Right-click the
"Crystal APS Service" and then click
"Stop".

7. Right-click the
"Crystal APS Service" and then click
"Properties".  Select the
"Configuration" tab on the Crystal APS Properties dialog box. You may 
receive the following error message:

 "Failed to retrieve cluster name for the database. Reason: Database
 Access Failure.."

  Click OK if this  message appears.

8. Click "Specify". Select "Recreate the current Data Source"and click "OK". 
Click "Yes" to confirm that you want to continue.

9. Right-click the
"Crystal APS Service" and then click
"Restart".  Restart all the other Crystal services.

Important: Wait one minute before the next step.

10. Open a command prompt.  Click
"Start", click
"Run", type
 "cmd" (without the quotation marks) and then click
"OK".

11. Type  "cd
"c:\program files\microsoft crm\crystal decisions\enterprise 9\win32_x86"" 
(without the quotation marks) and press "enter".

12. Type
 "addlicensekey.js /License <license key identified in step 1>" (without the 
quotation marks) and press "enter".

13.  The addlicensekey.log file will be recreated in the Temp folder of the 
current user.  Open the log file and look for errors.  If there are errors, 
contact Microsoft CRM Support.
Click  the following link to log a support request 
https://mbs.microsoft.com/support.: https://mbs.microsoft.com/support.

14.
"Restart" the
"Crystal APS Service" from the Crystal Configuration Manager (CCM).

Important: Wait one minute before the next step.

15. On the CCM click
"Enable/Disable Servers".

16. Type
 "Administrator" (without the quotation marks) as the User.  Enter the 
correct APS
 "Password" (without the quotation marks) (default is blank) and then click
"Connect".

17. Click
"Enable All" and then click
"OK".

18. Publish the standard reports using the version 1.2 Crystal Report 
Toolkit.  Visit the following Microsoft Business Solutions Web site to 
obtain the Toolkit:
http://mbs.microsoft.com/downloads/customer/TK35006Report_Toolkit_12.zip

There is a readme document included for instructions on how to use the 
Toolkit.


Otherwise, if this doesn�t help, pleas open a case at the MSCRM support.
