BEx hierarchies not displayed in Crystal report parameters

Hi All,
I am trying to using a Bex query that has a cost center hierarchy with a variable that allows users to select specific nodes or even cost centers. In BEx reports, this query works fine and gives the users the view of the cost centres in a hierarchial manner. However, in Crystal reports, the query provides a drop down menu displaying a simple list of all the cost centres (not in a hierarchial manner). This confuses the user as to which element is a node and which is a cost centre
Kindly suggest how can we achieve the cost centre hierarchy to appear in the parameters in Crystal.
Thanks

  • Detail sections not displayed with Crystal Reports 2010 Runtime (SP1 also)

    I have migrated a VB app from RDC 9 to Crystal Reports 2010 and I'm experiencing a very strange issue.
    In a report with 6 nested groups, the detail part is splitted in 7 section, and the whole detail has the "keep together" flag activated. At runtime, some detail sections are not displayed. There is no suppress condition on the detail section. The missed sections are those near bottom of the page. I suppose that when there is no room to print the section on the page and it should go on the next page, Crystal forget to display it.
    I exported the report in Crystal format and reopened with Crystal Reports designer and the missed section are displayed.
    The same report is displayed correctly using RDC 9.
    If I show the group tree and select the missed section group, the section is correctly displayed on a separate preview page.
    I've some screenshot to better demonstrate the problem.
    I hoped SP1 will resolve the issue but unfortunately it didn't.

  • Danish character and Symbol are not displaying in crystal report 2008

  • Japanese characters are not displayed properly - Crystal Report XI

    Hello,
    We are upgrading reports from CR8 to CR11.
    When I preview the CR8 report I can see the Japanese Characters (Coming from Database).
    After saving the CR8 report as CR11 report, When I preview the report I cannot see the Japanese Character which I was able to see in CR8.
    Why I am seeing unknown characters in CR11? When CR8 displays Japanese, then CR11 should display right?
    Please help.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Access DB (& .ldb file) does not close after crystal reports

    Post Author: mgold
    CA Forum: Crystal Reports
    Access DB (& .ldb file) does not close after crystal reports
    Hi! We have a VB application using Crystal Reports 6 that has worked successfully on hundreds of systems for over 10 years. Now, on one network, the application and access database does not close. It seems to hang on the &#91;.Close&#93; command.
    When we open the application an peruse the screens without opening up a report (using crystal reports), the application and access db closes fine. But as soon as we run a report and then close the report and try to close the application, the access db does not close. Many of the screens open the db and grab data from the access db, but it's only after running crystal reports that we have this problem. (Please see more information below.)
    Setup: Application and data (access 97 db) reside on a server in the same folder, but application shortcut is kicked off on client PC. Kicking off the shortcut on the client PC means that the image/process runs on the client PC (not on the server). In this problem case, the application shortcut is on a Windows XP Pro Version 2002 SP2 PC with the app & data on a Windows 2003 server. Users are local Admins on their PCs with "Full Control"over the directory and files on the server where the data (access 97 db) resides. This type of setup is typical and has worked without any problems for clients.
    The application is written in Visual Basic, using Crystal Reports 6 (using DAO). We close the recordset, set it to zero and then it hangs on closing the db (.Close command).
    A few key pieces of information:
    - The application closes fine if the app & data (access 97 db) are on a local PC. This includes closing fine if the application is run directly on the Windows 2003 server where the data is stored.
    - It worked on this client's network until sometime in the last few weeks.
    - One thing that changed is that the company is using VMWare on its servers. Not sure if they started using VMWare at the same time as it started failing. This may be unrelated. Possibly other things changed, but can't get any more information ... yet.
    - It works fine running the application from a Windows Vista PC with a user who is a domain admin.
    - The access db and application hang for about 10-20 minutes and then eventually closes. It appears that somehow
    Crystal Reports is keeping the db open, but I'm not sure why.The application doesn't quit and the database doesn't close even if I try to end the task with the Task Manager.
    - The Crystl32.ocx version being used is 8.0.0.4 (if that matters).
    - I copied 6 month old program files and database files to a test folder on the Windows 2003 server. It fails using these files that worked fine 6 months ago.
    Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated! If you know of another good place to post this, please let me know.
    Thanks!

    This error occurs after an initial install, when the Oracle suite is installed logged in as the user(who has admin rights on the machine). If this is the case,
    1.Go to Services (Admin Tools > Services)
    2.Double click the Oracle services( BI Server or Presentation or TNS Listener).
    3.Go to Log On tab
    4.If local system account is checked , un-check that option. Check "This Account" option
    5.Give the user information for that machine(e.g domain\username)
    6.Specify password associated with the user ( the username/pwd that is used to login to the machine)
    7.Confirm pwd and click Apply.
    8.re-start the service.
    This is what i did , and it worked.
    good luck and hopefully oracle addresses these issues , they become frustrating to use the product.

  • 0.00 is currency not displaying in ALV REPORT......

    Hi All,
    There is a currency field in the internal table which is not displaying only value 0.00 if the value is 0.03 then it is displaying in ALV.
    I have checked the Internal Table passed in the FM: REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY but it is carrying the value 0.00. But while displaying it is not displaying in the report.
    I have also checked the Field catalogue there is no such conditions mentioned.
    Kindly help me.
    Thanks in Advance.
    MP

    Hi MP,
    while handling witht eh currency fields make sure that the following are taken care of
    in the field catalog use:
    gs_field-datatype = 'CURR'.
    gs_field-inttype = 'C'.
    also the following
    fieldcatalog-no_zero = 'X'. should be taken care of otherwise it will not display the zeros appearing in the final internal table for ALV display.
    Hope its helpful

  • Group Headers are not getting displayed in crystal report

    Hi,
    I have got 1 reprot having 8 subreports in it. In the parent report I group by 2 different fields. I have created 8 diff. sections under 2nd group and put every subreport in different section. The data in subreport gets displayed depending on the parameters selected by user.
    Sometimes the group headers get displayed. Most of the time when I add only 1 subreport. As & when I add 2 or 3 it disappears.
    Can any body guide me in this issue.
    Thanks a lot...

    Deepa,
    Your issue might appear due to the sub report not being able to grow.
    This can be done by right-clicking on the sub report and select 'can grow' on the general tab of the properties.

  • Crystal reports 11: Values displayed in crystal report not showing in VB6

    Hi!
    I updated an existing lower version of crystal report 7 to crystal report 11. Changes are the following:
    1. sql query in VB6 to add fields
    2. sql query in crystal report to manipulate values and not use formula. crx11 doesn't allow summary/total in formula fields.
    3. report orientation
    4. additional fields to view
    5. font sizes, length, can grow properties, etc.
    When I tested it directly in crx 11, all fields/values are displaying correctly. When I integrated it in VB 6 using Crystal ActiveX Report Viewer Library 11.0 and CR Viewer object, the field is blank.
    I've tried several checking like field suppressions, conditional suppressions, etc.
    By the way, I also have a report using a subrepot with conditional suppressions. Same thing is happening. The subreport data only displays the alloted space but does not show values in VB6.
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Thanks for your response.
    Before I read your response, I tried tweaking my reports and was able to resolve the issue.
    Steps taken to solve the issue are the following:
    a. Value not showing one field of four (4) reports.
    Solution: I created new ones and integrate it in VB 6. The values are now showing. Tweaked on the line object properties, got a problem with the extended line but solved it by adjusting the height of the detail section.
    b. Value not showing in sub-report.
    Solution: My report used a shared variable so I can pass the condition to my sub-report. I used the new reports and just pass a query during runtime. The values in the subreport is still not showing. I added a formula and called the value in it. Values in the subreport is now showing.
    I'll try to update the crystal reports version as suggested at a later time.

  • Crystal report parameters not available when running from within SAP B1

    Hi
    I have found this problem a few times already and I think it is now about time I find a solution for it.
    On my latest Crystal report, I have 2 parameters.
    The 1e is a dynamic parameter, allowing the user to select multiple groups.
    The 2nd is also a dynamic parameter, allowing the user to select only a single item.
    These parameters works fine in Crystal and do what they are supposed to do.
    After publishing the report in SAP Busines One (SBO) and viewing it from within SBO, the 2 parameter prompts are still there but without the dynamic list to select any data from.
    On a previous report where a parameter has been defined as "Any value can be entered for the parameter" once again worked fine in crystal but from within SBO the parameter allowed no value to be entered.
    Have anyone got a solution for this.
    Regards
    Burger

    Sorry guys
    You have lost me. I have searched the form and I have worked through the whole pdf you suggested.
    I have no idea what I am supposed to do or see or use "ItemGroup@ SELECT ItmsGrpCod, ItmsGrpNam FROM OITB ORDER BY ItmsGrpCod"
    As a test I created a test report with the following parameters to test how it would present itself in B1
    1.     A static parameter with no list. Allow custom Values = True, Allow Multiple Values = True u2013 B1 result. A box that I could enter anything. Defeating the object as I wanted a list of valid options
    2.     A static parameter with no list. Allow custom Values = True, Allow Multiple Values = False u2013 B1 result. A box that I could enter anything. Defeating the object as I wanted a list of valid options
    3.     A static parameter with a list. Allow custom Values = True, Allow Multiple Values = True u2013 B1 result. A box that I could select multiple values from a list. I could not add my own value. Defeating the object as the list is static
    4.     A static parameter with a list. Allow custom Values = True, Allow Multiple Values = False u2013 B1 result. A drop down box where I could select one of the values. Defeating the object as the list is static
    5.     A static parameter with a list. Allow custom Values = False, Allow Multiple Values = False u2013 B1 result. Same as in point 4
    6.     A Dynamic parameter. Allow custom Values = True, Allow Multiple Values = False u2013 B1 result. Same as in point 1 & 2. No Dynamic list returned and can not add own option
    As mentioned. All the parameters work in Crystal as one expect it to. What I am after is what should I change in B1 so that the report works the same as in Crystal.
    Where in B1 should it be changes and to what should it be changed.
    If the changes should be done in crystal to cater for B1 then what should be changes where to what
    I am not that familiar with B1.
    In my test report I use B1 table OITM.
    My parameter is Item (Crystal syntax {?Item}) and I use it in a filter to say {OITM.ItemCode} = {?Item}

  • Free Charecterstics of Bex not replicating into Crystal Report

    Hi Experts,

    Now wen i am trying to build a Crystal Report on this Query directly from Blank Report Wizard, i am not getting the free characteristics and Row object into the report but i am able to get the Structure values as measures.
    Wen i am trying to build the report directly from the SAP tab of Crystal Reports, i am able to c the Free Characteristics and Row Object but getting all the selection Based Key Figures in a single entity on the name of the structure. Due to this wen i am using this in Crystal Report all the Column values are embedded into a single column, which is not desirable.

  • BW hierarchy variable not working in Crystal Report 2008

    Hi,
    I have created BEx 7.0 report which has hierarchy on 0customer object, the report is working fine whith hierarchy variable. I have created Crystal Report by using this query as source. I have followed below link to create grouping to get data through hierarchy variable.
    http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/BWHierarchiesinCrystalReports
    But report does not work for hierarchy variable and report is blank. When I give filter of child node which has actual data then I get report output. For ex.
    Below hierarchy for 0customer
    11396
         - 737007
         - 123456
    When I run report for 11396 then no data display but when I run 737007 child node I get report output but with blank group name.
    Can anyone came accross this issue. Please guide me . Thanks in advance.

    Thanks Ingo for your reply..
    The word filter means, I have hierarchy node variable in the BEx report that has become Parameter in CR. When I give hierarchy node variable value of parent node then there is not data display but for the child node I get the data.
    For ex. In the info cube there is data for 730707 customer but in the customer hierarchy the parent node of 73707 is 11396. I am giving 11396 in the variable pop screen for hierarchy variable. I do not see any data but for 73707 I get data.
    User does not know 73707, he always enter 11396 customer no. and he gets data in BEx query that is source of CR. but crystal report is not showing data for 11396.
    One more point I want to tell here, I am saving CR at my local system not to SAP BW server.
    Hope this clear my issue.

  • Database connection not working in Crystal Reports for Eclipse 2.0

    Hello All,
    We have several hunderd reports that were created in CR 8.5.  We are moving to a new Java  environemnt and we are also considering using BIRT.However to save development time and effort we are considering using the CR for Eclipse 2.0. For a proof of concept, we loaded several of our 8.5 reports into Crystal reports XI, saved them, and then loaded them into our CR for eclipse design environment.
    These reports were built from the values returned from a store procedure.. When we try to execute the reports from within Eclipse, we get  Error finding JNDI name (xxxx). We have created the appropriate datasource (to Sybase 12.5.4), and the schema is viewable in the db explorer. However when we associate the connection to this datasource, the connection no longer appears in the field explorer and no data is returned upon previewing the report.
    The original reports used ODBC to access the database. Is there anyway to easily convert these reports to using the Sybase JDBC datasource? Also in the DB explorer, the SPs are only showing the SP parameters,not the return values, so we are unable to easily drag the return fields onto the report to reset the links.
    Thanks in advance
    Edited by: Michael Knight on Oct 7, 2009 1:46 PM

    Michael,
    We had a similar situation but from my reseach the output from the stored procs cannot be viewed in the report designer in Eclipse. So we had to design the reports using the Crystal Reports Devloper application (the stand-alone version, not the Eclipse editor). The reports were designed w/an ODBC datasource. In order to get that working we had to create a JNDI JDBC datasource connection w/the exact same name as the ODBC datasource and that works. For example, the ODBC datasource was named OP01DSDB01.WORLD so we just created a JNDI datasource w/that exact same name (no jdbc/OP01DSDB01.WORLD just OP01DSDB01.WORLD). I'm not sure if there is a workaround for any of this but this was the easiest way to get them working.
    I know this isn't the ideal situation, but that was the easiest way to get things working.
