Developer installation

titleSoftware to install

...

Currently, we can use any Visual Studio to run ARASS such as VS 2019

To create or edit a crystal report, we can use Microsoft Visual Studio 2013/2015/2017, then save the code, then we can continue to use VS2019 to run that crystal report on ARASS

Notes:

-One limitation when working with Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 is that the stdole.dll might be put in the bin folder when build the project in VS2019. The stdole.dll should be removed from the bin folder before moving the deployment to the server.

-Currently, we can not use SAP CrystalReports for Visual Studio 2019 because

this Crystal version is not working with the current Crystal Report runtime on the servers (i.e it does not work with CR version22). This can be changed in the future when Crystal Report runtime on the servers can be updated

Software (being used and proved to be working together)

Can use VS 2013 or VS 2015 to build Crystal Reports and have to install correspondent SAP Crystal Reports

\\Tc4s0a\groups\AARA\AARAD\Software Library\Developer Tools\SAP CrystalReports for Visual Studio 2017. (but I do not find it is working with VS2017)

Notes:

2023-05-08: All servers in Prod/Acc/Dev are running SAP Crystal Reports 13.0.22.2668 64 bit. Therefore we need to install an SAP CrystalReport for VS to work with the same version of Crystal Report on the servers:

Installing SAP CrystalReports for VS 2017, check the Computer setting->will see the version 22 as same as the crystal report version on the servers

Image Added

If you find the version is not the same (in this example, it should be 22)

Then:

Using Setting to remove all SAP Crystal Reports installations

Go to net work folder and download the right SAP Crystal Reports (mentioned above)

Go to VS-> remove Crystal Report dll and re-add , remember to set Copy property as True

Important Note

If using Visual Studio 2015 to build crystal reports, we should remove stdole.dll from bin folder in the deployment package before moving that to the servers. Otherwise, the crystal reports will not be opened. The remove is not required when we use Visual Studio 2013.

titleSetting up local build

ARASS is using the C:\Program Files\Transport Canada folder (not :\Program Files (x86)\Transport Canada?). You can copy the content of C:\Program Files (x86)\Transport Canada to C:\Program Files\Transport Canada

Inside C:\Program Files\Transport Canada, you should have AjaxControlToolkit.dll, CLFPage.dll, TcMailerNet.dll, and the following folders: StreamTagFilter and CLFPagePlugin

  • Inside your local .vs, make sure the applicationhost.config contains these lines inside the <modules> section

Code Block
languagexml
<modules>
  <add name="StreamTagFilter-2.0" type="Utility.IIS.StreamTagFilterModule, StreamTagFilter.NET.2.0, Version=1.0.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=d3d707ec692e4024" preCondition="runtimeVersionv2.0" />
  <add name="StreamTagFilter-4.0" type="Utility.IIS.StreamTagFilterModule, StreamTagFilter.NET.4.0, Version=1.0.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=d3d707ec692e4024" preCondition="runtimeVersionv4.0" />
</modules>

  • If you are seeing any exclamation marks in the References for CLFPage , AjaxControlToolkit, TCMailerNet then add their references by pointing to their dll 's locations on C:\Program Files\Transport Canada, and make sure Copy Local is True. When Copy Local is True, then building the solution will add the dll copies to the bin folder.

Image Modified

  • If the layout is still not fixed (see image below), this means the CLFPage.dll is not correct (calling the old stylesheets), please see below for the fix.

titleFix for layout not loading properly (issue with CLFPage dll)

Go to the bin folder and delete the CLFPage.dll. Go to References and remove the CFLPage.dll.

Copy the correct CLFPage.dll (ask team members) to C:\Program Files\Transport Canada and add the Reference for CLFPage.dll to the path of the bin folder

Image Modified

Change in the web.config:

Commenting this line for CLFVersion

Build the solution and run it. The layout should now be displaying correctly.

Good To Know

Notes from Mike Clark about the system (current of writing 2023-04-12)

...

Oracle:

ARASS currently is using Oracle.manageddataacess.dll instead of oracle.dataacess.dll. This can be seen in web.config’s connections

...

The advantage of using Oracle.ManagedDataAccess is we do not need local Oracle client installed. We only need .Net runtime installed to connect to Oracle. This helps to make applications working in any computer without worrying whether we have installed 32bit or 64 bit version Oracle client.

Publish files: can use the same below setup to prepare the deployment for dev, acceptance or prod.

We can create one package on dev/acceptance and copy the same package for prod

Connection: The target location is pointing to your local location

How-To and Fixes

In case of missing office data in the ARASS report Excel (Using national data dump by quarter). Please refer first to the PDF file by downloading it from the production environment using Generate report tab on the left side of the screen (It’s important to select (‘’Actuals by Office’’ / Report Format ‘’PDF’’) as well as the fiscal year and the quarter.
