ALV and Crystal Reports challenge

Hi there Gurus.
I already have posted this question in the Crystal section.
Maybe some of you ABAP Guys knows the answer here.
Our Customer have  Crystal Reports Template includet so that the user can choose to display ALV in a nice Crystal Report.
We have made changes to the Template, and have included a logo in the top right corner of the Report Header Section.
When the report is started from ALV , a new Report Header Section is made.. and my old Report Header Section is pushed down.
The result is that the Logo no longer is in the top right corner.
The new section is made from ABAP maybe, and has Report Title and some information about which parameters has been used.
I am familiar in Crystal, but not so much in ABAP.
Any suggestions on how to solve this ?
We want the logo to be in the top right corner of the report.
Best Regards
Ingrid

Serdar Simsekler   , you seem to know a lot about ALV and what is happening there.
Do you know anything on where the logic is hidden, in what is passed on to Crystal form ALV?
And where it is placed in the report. ?
Best Regards Ingrid

  • VS2008/VS2005 and Crystal Reports 2008 Developer

    Hi,
    1.) I am using VS2008 and Crystal Reports 2008 Developer. Are there any issues I need to consider when developing using both of the above? (or with VS2005)
    2.) The confusion for me is in regards to the SDK. From what I understand from articles etc is that using CR 2008 dev we can use the .NET SDK or RAS SDK for development purposes?
    3.) So downloaded the sample code for RAS .NET from [here|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/businessobjects-samples?rid=/webcontent/uuid/80774579-b086-2b10-db91-ed58c4dda375] and tried "DatabaseLogon_CS" example, as the option. It automatically opened in VS2005 (no problem) however it would not run.
    I would get an error :
    Failed to connect to server "localhost".
    Error returned from Windows Sockets API : 0.
    and line causing this is >>> rcd.Open(ref path, 0);
    Code below:
            string sampleReportPath = @"C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\Samples\en\Reports\Demonstration\World Sales Report.rpt";
            object path = (object)sampleReportPath;
            // Create an instance of the ReportClientDocument.
            ReportClientDocument rcd = new ReportClientDocumentClass();
            // Set the location of the RAS server.
            rcd.ReportAppServer = "localhost";
            // Use the Open() method of the ReportClientDocument to open the report.
            rcd.Open(ref path, 0);
    I have been able to open the RPT file by itself. So it does 'see' the database.
    Reason why it would not run?
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    If you're using the sample code from our website, make sure you have uncommented the InprocRAS option in the ConfigureCrystalReports method (see below). From your error description it seems like you're using the unmanaged RAS option, which requires a RAS server.
    private void ConfigureCrystalReports()
            /* The following methods implement the same sample functionality in three different RAS
             * scenarios. Uncomment the method you would like to use.
             * - inprocRAS() logs onto a databse using RAS and SQL authentication.
             * - managedRAS() logs onto a database using RAS and SQL authentication from a managed RAS server.
             * - unmanagedRAS () logs onto a database using RAS and SQL authentication from an unmanaged RAS server.
             * Undocument the call to the method which applies to your appropriate RAS settings.
            DatabaseLogon_inprocRAS();
            //DatabaseLogon_managedRAS();
            //DatabaseLogon_unmanagedRAS();

  • Views on CF Report Builder and Crystal Report

    Dear all,
    I would like to get your opinions on CF Report Builder and
    Crystal Report.
    As we all know, CF Report Builder is a new reporting tool.
    But I find it very difficult to design a complex report maybe due
    to limitation in its functionalities. Sometimes the tool shutdowns
    by itself without any warning and reason. But the output is nicely
    presented on a flash paper / pdf and it can be run on non-MS
    platforms.
    On the other hand, Crystal Report is a more matured product
    but runs only on MS platform. It is very easy to use and very
    powerful. I have been using it for almost 10 years. But the output
    is not nicely presented on the web browser unless if we purchase
    Crystal Report Enterprise to generate the report which is very
    costly.
    Can you all share your views? I need to make decision which
    tool(s) to use. Really appreciate it.
    Cheers,
    Keiko

    Hi Keiko,
    Yes, CF Report builder is new and initially there was few
    issues with this. But I guess now it's good after hotfixes.
    Well, I am using CF Report Builder. It's good for me. You can
    also design and develop complex reports, that depends upon the
    query you are writing. You can also add subreports to your main
    reports.
    Mainly CF Report is platform independent and you can also
    generate reports in PDF, EXCEL and FlashPaper.
    Crystal Report is no doubt is very good, and it's there for
    long years. I agree you can create complex reports with this, but
    you also can do the same in CF also. You are using this for last 10
    years, so I guess you should try something new and that is CF
    Report Builder and you can judge then.
    I am sure you will have fun with CF.
    Thanks

    Hi Detleff,
    Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
    Since this forum is to discuss: Visual Studio WPF/SL Designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System, and Visual Studio
    Editor. Based on your Crystal Reports printing issue, I’m afraid that it is not the correct forum for this issue. Therefore,
    I suggest you can ask your issue directly on SAP Crystal Reports:
    http://scn.sap.com/community/crystal-reports/content?filterID=content~objecttype~objecttype[thread]
    for better solution and support.

  • Vb6 deployment and Crystal Report 8.5

    Hi,
    I tried to deploy a Visual Basic 6 on a client pc that use Crystal Report 8.5.
    Because no merge files exist for this version of Crystal Report I tried to added all the necessary dll in the deploy package (using visual basic 6 tools deployment).
    I read the file Runtime.hlp so I added every dll wriiten in this file.
    When I run my setup I always have this error :
    The program can't start because CRPE32.dll is missing from your computer.
    It's strange because I added this dll to my deployment package.
    So I don't no what to do anymore.
    Need some help to solve this problem because I know it's easier with more recent version of Crystal Report because of the merge file but right now this software need CR 8.5.
    Regards,
    Hugo

    Hi,
    Ok here what I'm trying to do.
    I have an application Visual Basic 6 that use crystal report 8.5 to export the report in pdf using the dll cradxt.dll by programming.
    On the dev pc I have Visual Studio 6.0 and Crystal Report 8.5 installed.
    I want to install this software on another PC so I created a deployment package, automatically the pakage added the "necessary" dlls.
    But is not enough I need to added more on the client pc so it's hard even if I read the Runtime.hlp that come with Crystal Report 8.5 and I added all the dll it always seems to miss somes.
    So I was wondering if a merge module or something exist like the other version of Crystal Reports to install the necessary dlls on a clients pc.
    Otherwise what is the best way to do it ?
    Regards.

  • Difference between Crsytal Report 2011 and Crystal Report for Enterprise 4

    difference between Crystal Report 2011 and Crystal Report for Enterprise 4.0?
    I think Crystl Reprt 2011 has more function, is it right?

    Hi,
    I recently attended a SAP Virtual trianing on SAP Business Objects BI 4.0.
    Here are few extracts from that which probably shows some light to you:
    SAP Crystal Reports 2011
    1. UI and associated processing servers remain the same as CR 2008
    2. Incremental update to CR 2008 with a few new features*
    3. Continue to provide current CR 2008 functionality as-is for existing customers
    SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise 4.0
    1. Major update & redesign of the Crystal Reports Designer and associated processing servers
    2. Focus on streamlined report design, reporting against BI 4.0 Universe, & reporting against SAP BW data
    3. Provide the foundation for all future releases of Crystal Reports
    Differences between these two releases:
    Data Source & Usage Type                                       General Recommendation
    1. SAP BusinessObjects BI 4.0                                        SAP Crystal Reports Relational Universe (UNX) for Enterprise

  • Crystal reports and crystal report viewer

    Hi.
    I have up to recently used crystal report version 11.5 and reports have been made available for users in the organisation via Crystal report viewer.2010 ver 11.2.1.3.
    The reports have been saved without data, and the different parameters have been available for the users for them to select approriate dataset,.
    I have now upgraded Crystal reports to version 2013 ver 14.1 and crystal report viewer to same version.
    The problem now is that the parameters are no longer available for the users, and it is also a requirement to save the reports incl a dataset to even open the report in the new report viewer.
    What have I missed? Anyone that can help me ?
    brgds Torunn

    Hi Torunn
    An alternative may be to create a web app using either the Crystal Reports .NET or Java SDK. Depending on what development software you already have, this may be cheaper than CR Server or "BO server". E.g.; both the .NET SDK and the Java SDK are free:
    SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio: Updates & Runtime Downloads
    SAP BusinessObjects - SAP Crystal Reports, Version For Eclipse Download
    The above would be predicated on the assumption  that your org has some developer experience (or is willing to acquire it) and that you have the development software (e.g.; VS 2010, or 2012, or 2013 for the CR SDK for .NET).

  • Reg. alv and interactive reports

    Hi Friends,
    What is the difference between alv and interactive reports?.
    rewards are helpful answers.

    Hi,
    ABAP List Viewer
    The common features of report are column alignment, sorting, filtering, subtotals, totals etc. To implement these, a lot of coding and logic is to be put. To avoid that we can use a concept called ABAP List Viewer (ALV).
    Using ALV, we can have three types of reports:
    1. Simple Report
    2. Block Report
    3. Hierarchical Sequential Report
    Interactive Reports
    As the name suggests, the user can Interact with the report. We can have a drill down into the report data.
    Purpose
        Interactive report provides you with comfortable functions for navigating through your data.
    Use
    Interactive report are used to display multiple list in one single report
    It has basic list and then you can  navigate to one or other screens in one single report
    Enhance the efficiency & transparency of Business Processes
    Example :  Column one of the report displays the material numbers, and the user feels that he needs some more specific data about the vendor for that material, he can HIDE that data under those material numbers.
    And when the user clicks the material number, another report (actually sub report/secondary list) which displays the vendor details.
    Advantage of ALV over Interactive:--
    1> Graphic Can be added
    2> Less Amount Of coding
    Reward If Helpful

  • Help requested on WEBI and Crystal Reports

    Hi All,
    1. Our Sys Admin has installed Business Objects XI Enterprise Server on the Corporate Development Server. The objective is to develop few WEBI objects and Crystal Reports and deploy on the Development Server for further testing. What developer tools I need on my local system to develop WEBI Objects and Crystal Reports?
    2. For crystal reports is there a need to develop universe, or is it possible to fetch from the database directly if the DB meets all the data needs?
    Thanks in advance
    Sunny

    Hi gudurusk,
    For CR creation the you need Crystal Reports. Thats a Report developing Tool which needs to be installed local on your Desktop PC
    WebI is a Java based Reporting Tool. So you create your Reports in a Web Browser. You LogIn to InfoView and click New -> Web Intelligence Document and start.
    Crystal can do both. It can report of a Universe and can by directly connected to your DB.
    Regards
