Crystal Reports 2016 Report Application Server (Failed)

I am going to apologize right off the bat as I may rant a little. ????

1.  The install for RedHat Enterprise Linux 7 is not straight forward in the install documentation.

Problems found:

#1 You must export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/yourusername/SAP_CRYSTAL_SERVER_2016_SP02_LINUX__64B__/DATA_UNITS/CRServer_lnx/dunit/product.crystalserver2011-4.0-core-32/actions

#2 The second thing is you need to copy this file (libkeydecoder.so) to setup.engine folder and the same directory as setup.sh for good measure.

Otherwise /isKeycodeValid: errors out and you can’t validate your keycode.

That is just an out of the box problem with the install.

Then “once” you get it installed….

You go into the Central Management Console and discover that the very service you “need” to run to utilize the features of “Crystal Report Server”  the Application Server shows failed and won’t start properly.

I guess here is my frustration, with a product that you potentially spend $10,000 out of the gate to get it going;  #1 there are no “Sales Engineers” that can help you ensure that you have a clean up and running product that you can evaluate.   #2  i have never bought a product where the company was not interested in insuring that the customer got the product up-and-running and was able to properly demo it.

I am flabbergasted by this…. Anyway that is my rant!   Hopefully this gets to someone who can change this!

Here is the trace log:

Thank you in advance for “any” help you can give..
