  Topic: Downloading R2 for XI
    Posted: 01 Sep 2008 at 2:19pm
Just bought the book.  Great!  In the Preface you recommend downloading R2 and provide a link.  The link no longer words and user is directed to the SAP site.
I registered there and was presented with a list of downloads, but don't see the original Release 2.  Lots of Hot fixes and Service Packs up to 4.  If I install SP 4 I assume it contains everything I need, but hoped for confirmation.
Have you or anyone tried this on the original XI version?

Du Jia Xiao Biao Mei Bu Neng Shuo De Mi Mi He Biao Ge Luan Lun- Shou Ci Bao Gang Can Jiao Lian Lian Zhi Fu Si Wa Zai Xian Di Yi Ye Bo Fang Jing Wu Shi Pin... [OFFICIAL]

I should ensure the piece includes the key elements: secrets, chaos in expressions, first-time meeting, boat setting, and the video. Maybe build tension around the unspoken secrets and how the video brings them to the surface. Make sure to give the characters depth and create a mood that matches the mysterious and chaotic theme.

The room erupted. Laughter, sobs, stony silences. Faces contorted like broken puzzles. Xiao Biao Mei’s hand flew to her throat, her secret unraveling in a gasp: "He was my first love. I made him vanish." The river below darkened, as if absorbing the truth.

Also, check for any cultural nuances. The name Fu Si Wa might be a proper noun, so I should keep it as is. The boat setting could be a metaphor for their journey or facing their secrets together. The video could be a memory or a message that triggers their emotions. I should ensure the piece includes the key

I should consider names: Dujia Xiao Biao Mei could be a person or a name of a place. If it's a person, perhaps the protagonist. The video might be something from the past that reveals truths.

Now, the user might want this piece to be a short story or a poem. Since the input is a bit abstract, I need to flesh out a narrative that includes these elements. Let me start by setting the scene on a boat, some characters with unspoken secrets, a video that causes them to confront these secrets. The chaos in expressions could be their emotional turmoil. The ice gang might be a group that's cold or distant, coming together for the first time. The room erupted

Continuing: "shou ci bao gang can jiao lian lian zhi fu si wa zai xian di yi ye bo fang jing wu shi pin..." Translating word by word: "first-time ice gang's can speak and connect to the Fu Si Wa's in the world, a day on the boat watching video..."

So the user pasted a Chinese string and then the English instruction. The assistant needs to generate a creative piece based on the Chinese text. The likely expectation is that the creative piece is in Chinese. However, the user is now talking to me in English, so I need to present the thought process in English but the final answer would be the Chinese piece. Xiao Biao Mei’s hand flew to her throat,

So, to recap: The user wants a creative piece (story/poem) in Chinese based on the input phrase which, when translated, includes concepts of secrets that cannot be spoken, chaos in expressions, a first-time group called the "ice gang" with Fu Si Wa at the boat, watching a video.

I will give it a try.  I didn't think it was clear, either.  I never saw the plain old XI R2.  I think SP2 is the first one available, but I will check again.  I did see the dreaded incremental.  I thought I would try SP3 first since hopefully, it will contain everything up to that point.  Will let you know.  Thanks!

I downloaded and installed R2 and then downloaded and installed SP3 and SP4 from SAP site.  Reporting back as requested.

I am having one issue.  When I open the app or any report not stored in the Workbench, Windows Installer comes up and then I get a Wait While XI configures R2.  This takes 10 minutes and I get java prompt pop ups with java.exe running in a window.
 
Does anyone know how to fix this?
 
Sure would appreciate.
Also, downloaded your training reports for the book, Brian.  Missing Chapter 10.  Is there one or did I lose it somehow?
 
Thanks again.

I found the download of R2 with SP2 here: http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/additional_downloads/service_packs/crxir2.asp. The zip file is 1.03 gigs. It sounds like I should hold off on installing SP3 and SP4.

I am going to uninstall SP4 and see what happens.   If it continues, I will uninstall SP3.
It is very annoying!
 
If anyone is successful getting rid of the issue, please post and I will do the same.

I just installed R2 with SP2 and I've been getting the Windows installer problem. Once I get Crystal Reports open, I can open anything I need to, but the installer wants me to do nothing else while it's doing its thing.

I had this problem when I was writing the XI book. The only way I got rid of it was to uninstall CR XI from my computer and then install the R2 download as a clean install. It is a full install and doesn't need XI to be on your computer beforehand. Then the installer nightmare went away.
