UFL <DLL Name> that implements this function is missin

building reports crystal reports

All:

The following issue that I was going through under business objects was resolved after multiple experiments.

Issue: When I had the third party software, predefined reports, User Defined functions that associated with XXXXXXX.DLL, wanted to create new reports using those functions or recreate same reports under higher versions and keep it under business objects repository. I was getting the error “UFL DLL that implements this function is missing” when opening the report on the local crystal instance and after schedule to run the report under business objects repository.

Resolution:

I installed the client portion of the third party software on both local machine where my crystal reports running and business objects repository server.
I copied the required DLL that was having UFL to "C:\Program files\business objects\common\3.5\bin directory to execute the report from Business objects.
I copied the required DLL that was having UFL to “C:\Program files\Common Files\Crystal Decisions\2.5\bin” directory in order to execute the report from Crystal Reports and view the list of additional functions.

Hope this help others while go through this similar issue in future.

My original posted questions was:

If you are running x64 Server and XI 3.1 the directory to copy UFL is:

\…\Program Files (x86)\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86

The directory for the client machine designing the CR is:

C:WINDOWS\SYSTEM32

I hope this helps. I have attached the UFL to convert a Number to a date. :cheers:

Hi,
I have got the same problem.I am getting error while previewing report on BO server.““Error in File ~tmp496663cff6d7fc0.rpt: Error in formula EndDateEnteredByUser: '// Variables to hold the different values. ’ UFL ‘u2linfum.dll’ that implements this function is missing. “”

I have Crystal 2008 and BO XI 3.1 (Linux),on windows machine the report works fine ,but when i upload to BO server ,it throws error while previewing or while scheduling.

By other posts here,I could see that we need to install the DLL on both places (CR designer as well as BO server).But i am not able to find such DLL for Unix machine .
So i would like to know if any one can suggest where to find the same DLL for UNIX (Linux/Solaris).

thanks
Nitin
