Chinese Data Fields not displaying Chinese Characters

Hi There,
Wonder if someone can help. We are currently running reports in Crystal 8.5 but are in the process of upgrading our business systems to latest version and this includes converting all our Crystal 8.5 reports to Crystal Reports XI R2 SP4.
During the process we are experiencing some difficulties in displaying Chinese characters, which have previously worked fine in version 8.5. The system we are running Crystal from has Oracle client 11 installed and the OS system locale is set to Chinese PRC. Our application is displaying Chinese characters properly and if we have any text fields on the report, these are also displaying properly when changing Font to Arial Unicode MS. The only thing that doesn't display properly is the field data which after checking has the correct Chinese data stored in the database. For some reason Crystal 11.5 doesn't seem to be transferring the data correctly which points to some sort of encoding problem.
Is there something I am missing here or is there something else I need to install for this to work?
Any hep would be appreciated.

What is your Oracle database's language set? Is it set to UTF-8 or non UTF-8 (such as American_America.WE8ISO8859P1" )?
There is a similar issue tracked under ID ADAPT00528561 (Crystal cannot display non-UTF-8 Chinese characters from an Oracle database ) and has been fixed and you should set the following registry key to make it effective:
Set the following registry key "UseOSLocaleForConversion" to "Yes" under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Crystal Reports\Database\Oracle

Solution Found
Don't install sp2it sucksclassic case of the cure being worse than the disease.
Downloading and installing the SP3 redisist fixed the issue.
This link is probably appropriate:
https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm
Software Product->select Crystal Reports
Version->select Crystal Reports 2008
important part
Software Type->Utility Click Search Download the redist install.
Not very intuitive, but you'll need to do this so you download the runtime and not the full version.
Hope that saves you the 5 hours it took me to figure this darn thing out...I hate unintuitive products--they aren't very professional.

SAP, where do I send the bill for supporting your own product?
I too have the same problem. Hopefully we can get a solution to this soon as the delayed release of the 2010 runtime has us in a difficult place.
The problem: I upgraded my project to Visual Studio 2010; therefore, I upgraded to the Crystal Reports for Studio 2010 beta.
Everything worked fine until I modified the app.config so that I could deploy the application into our test environment. We do not have Visual Studio installed in this environment, so we needed to have a Crystal Reports Runtime. According to the SAP website deployment guide, currently the only way to deploy a 2010 app is to use the 2008 runtime by modifying the app.config file to redirect the bindings.
__Now, none of my date fields appear on the reports.__
Just to test, in my development environment, I commented out the redirects in the app.config and the dates appeared. I uncommented the redirects so that the 2008 runtime would be used and then my dates disappeared from the report.
Here is the entry I put into the app.config:
<runtime>
    <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">

        <assemblyIdentity name="CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine" publicKeyToken="692fbea5521e1304" />

Time/Date Field Not Returned in PDF

I have created a very simple form in LiveCycle Designer 8.0. The form enables the user to input data into columns labeled "name," "change type," and "change date." I used the date/time object for the "change date" row fields.
When my testers (using Acrobat 7.0) email the saved form back to me, all of the fields are populated with the information they entered, except the "change date" column fields. I asked if they used the flyout calendar or typed in the date manually, and all used the calendar.
Is this a compatibility issue, or is there something I need to do to bind the chose value to the field when the form is saved?

The issue with the time portion of date field not displaying in Data tab of a Table window has been posted before - see date format while browsing data
I still get the problem in v1215 connecting to either 9i or 10g databases. Note that this problem does not happen in the SQL Worksheet results area, so simply querying the table data with a select doesn't test this.
As for Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V changing the date format to MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS when copying data out of the SQL Worksheet Results - I also still get this in v1215.

Dynamic Text Field is not displaying foreign characters... HELP!

I have a dynamic text field that is not displaying foreign characters properly. They appear as boxes.
Here's what I've tried.
Under properties for the text field, I clicked on the embed characters button. In there, I pasted all the special characters I would need and clicked okay. Shouldn't this be enough for the text to display properly? What am I missing? Please help...

More info: I'm noticing that in the actual dynamic text field in my .FLA file, if I type a foreign character like é, it pops up as a block. My family font is set to New Caledonia... is it possible that New Caledonia doesn't have those particular glyphs? The thing that doesn't make sense to me though is, last year when I made this card, it worked fine with New Caledonia... Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Large memo meta-data field not fully indexed

Hi all,
Another day, another UCM question. Hopefully the answers given to my questions will help people facing the same issues.
We created a custom meta-data field of type memo. Looking into the database, the following columns were created:
colmeta.xcustom1 varchar2(2000)
docmeta.xcustom1 varchar2(2000)
idctext1.xcustom1 varchar2(2000)
idctext2.xcustom1 varchar2(2000)
indexerstate.xcustom1 varchar2(2000)
We want specific meta-data field to hold 5000 characters and to have its content retrievable by the full text search feature. We've read about the MinMemoFieldSize and MemoFieldSize configuration variables, but reasoned that they shouldn't be used since the size requirement is only for this specific field.
So we've updated the database schema manually (can't seem to find another way to do this) by sending these instructions:
alter table colmeta modify xcustom1 varchar2(5000)
alter table docmeta modify xcustom1 varchar2(5000)
Then restarted the UCM server and performed a full collection index rebuild.
These updates work in that new content can be created with a meta-data value of up to 5000 characters (it would give an error before). However, it seems that the whole field value is not being indexed: doing a full-text search on a word in the first 2000 field characters finds the content, but doing a full-text search on a word in the last 3000 field characters doesn't.
We've tried manually extending the size of the idctext1, idctext2 and indexerstate columns, but it doesn't seem to have any impact.
Any ideas?
Thanks again.

Extract Year (only) from Date Field and Display in Text Field

I need to extract the year from a user entered date field and display the year in a text field. Can someone help me with the correct script to do this?

Hi,
that's quite easy to realize with FormCalc.
In you date fields exit event add the following code:
textField1 = Num2Date( Date2Num($.formattedValue, "MM/DD/YYYY"), "YYYY")
Note: This sample assumes that your date field formats the date with "MM/DD/YYYY". You may have to change the pattern to make it work at your end.

Numeric data is not displayed in BI Publisher 11g report

Hi,
I'm using Oracle BI 11g (11.1.1.6.0).
I'm experiencing a serious issue with numeric data in reports created with Publisher.
When I define the query in the data model, numeric data gets declared as "integer" (even if it should be "double"). Anyway, when creating the layout all data is correctly shown.
The issue emerges when I run the report in interactive mode: numeric data is not displayed at all.
If I run it in HTML mode or other, I get proper results.
I tried to explicitly CAST numeric data in the query to number(21, 6) but I get no different result.
Any help or suggestion is warmly welcome.
Thanks,
Cristina

Yes, assuming that you are using the Standalone version, following are some excerpt from user guide.
10g see Oracle® Business Intelligence Publisher
Report Designer's Guide
Release 10.1.3.4
Part No. E12187-01
Chapter 6 Building a Data Template
Supported Column Types
CLOB (conditionally supported)
The CLOB must contain text or XML. Data cannot be escaped inside the CLOB column.
And for 11g see
Oracle® Fusion Middleware
Data Modeling Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher
Release 11g (11.1.1)
Part No. E18862-01
Chapter 3 Creating Data Sets
Using Data Stored as a Character Large Object (CLOB) in a Data Model
BI Publisher supports using data stored as a character large object (CLOB) data type in
your data models. This feature enables you to use XML data generated by a separate
process and stored in your database as input to a BI Publisher data model.
Use the Query Builder to retrieve the column in your SQL query, then use the data
model editor to specify how you want the data structured. When the data model is
executed, the data engine can structure the data either as:
• a plain character set within an XML tag name that can be displayed in a report (for
example, an Item Description)
• structured XML

Is there anything else do i need to display custom fields in basic data frame??
I have one more question..
When you logon through SAPGUI and goto BBPSC01 t.code where you see lots of fields in basic data frame such as unloading point and all.. But those all fields does not display when you logon through WebURL..
I checked is there any BAdi such CUF or Screenvarient or some Badi has been actived but non of the Badi has been implemented..
To display all the fields which are display in GUI Mode also should display in URL..
To bring this functionality , What do i need to do?
I appreciate if you answer these questions..

Hi Disha,
We are trying to add custom fields to the Shopping Cart Header. We are using SRM 5.0. We added the fields to the structures "INCL_EEW_PD_HEADER_CSF_SC" & "INCL_EEW_PD_HEADER_CSF". We are able to see the custom fields. But the issue is , we are able to see the custom fields in the Shopping Cart one step shop scenario. Whereas when we run the wizard which is a 3 step scenario, we are not able to see the custom fields.
Technically speaking, the custom fields are visible for the ITS BBPSC01 & BBPSC03 , where as these custom fields are not visible for the ITS BBPSC02.
Please let me know, if we need to append the fields to some other structure to be able to see them in the Shopping cart wizard also.
I will be gald to provide any kind of info.
Thanks in advance...

Master page fields not displaying data from XML file

Hi,
For some reason if I a add a field on the master page, when previewed it does not display the xml data assigned to the field.
I have a work around, but it looks messy and would prefer to resolve the problem correctly.
My work around is to create another field with the same name in the "Design view" layout, and change the presence to invisible. I don't even have to link it to the xml data, simply select Global as the default binding.
Any ideas what I have done wrong, I assume it's a simple setting somewhere but I have no idea what it is.
Thanks
Russell

If there, try removing the $. at the beginning of the binding that gets puts there if you select the item from the pop up list.
I have a text field that is read only and bound without the $. that was working fine for displaying data. I have a drop down that had the $. and was not saving. I removed the $. and now it is getting saved to the XML. However, it does not display on the next render of the form.

PDF Output Not Displaying Turkish Characters

Hi,
We've configured BI 7.0 System with an Standalone Portal+BI Java System running both on SP11 Stack without problem.
For BI Web Reports, we're taking PDF Outputs and getting Turkish Character Problems. On the screen we can see everything correct, even Excel Export displays Turkish Characters without problem but PDF Export is wrong. I've checked the "<b>Note 1007116 - Form output in incorrect language</b>" but not sure whcih form to check? And also if this is the problem?
If anyone can help us, it'll be great

Hi Ade,
I tried all possible combinations of fetching the data. Writing a PL/SQL function and assigning the data to placeholder in before report trigger. Also, tried to use a query and then assign the data to placeholder through formula column. Directly assigining the database column on field without using placeholder.
While trying all the above options, I ensured that width is set to 4000 characters.
But all in vain. It works fine for 2000 characters but not able to print 4000 characters.
Regards,
Mitiksha

New iTunes update (10.6) not displaying asian characters correctly.

Just updated my iTunes to 10.6 and the new version is not displaying the asian characters in the artist or song titles. They are appearing in the album. Have restarted my computer multiple times.

Same issue going on for me. Like daskaea said, it doesn't show up in the album grid, but shows up fine everywhere else. I personally am encountering this issue for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean scripts.
Attempts to clear the name and re-enter it manually also do not work.
Anyone have any ideas?
