Solving

You can debug this service by editing the associated config file in elevated mode (i.e. with administrator privileges).

The SYSPROReportingServiceHostService.exe.config file is located in the folder to which you installed the service.

You can view monitoring and troubleshooting messages about this service using the Event Viewer function in Windows:

(Control Panel > System and Security Administrative Tools > Event Viewer > Applications and Service Logs)

The SYSPRO Reporting Host Manager outputs an event log to the SYSPROSSM file.

The SYSPRO RAS Host Manager outputs an event log to the SYSPRORASManagement file.

You can start, stop, restart and configure this service using the Services function in Windows:

(Control Panel > System and Security Administrative Tools > Services)

Referencing

You should only update this file for temporary debugging purposes (i.e. not as a method to update values for the service).

Any temporary changes made to the configuration files are reset to their original installation values when this application is next updated. Because these temporary changes are not carried forward, forgetting that you made them could hamper troubleshooting efforts if unexpected issues arise.

ThreadSafe

This lets you switch of multi-threading so that reports run synchronously (making it safer and allowing Crystal RAS Server to handle the load).

detaillogging

This is a comma-separated list of non case-sensitive values to define what logging must be done.

A value of D indicates logging for documents, while A indicates logging for document archiving (e.g. value='A,D' or value='A'). The log files are output to %programdata%\SYSPRO\ReportingServiceHostService\Logging. There will be a separate folder for each day and a separate log file for documents and for archiving.

EnableSRSDebug

(true/false). When this flag is switched on, the service won't delete the GUID folder in %temp%. The SQL tables are not dropped, so support can troubleshoot using the Crystal report.
