Crystal Report Retrieve data Randomly!!!

Hi,
I have Crystal Report 10 and it connected to VFP (DBF) database.
And each time I run the report I got a deffrent result.
Note:
Nobody else use that dadabase and report.
My Query is like:
Select << list of field>> from .... Join ......
Union All
Select << list of field>> from .... Join ......
Union All
Select << list of field>> from .... Join ......

Hi Matt,
Sorry but CR 10 and it's patches are no longer available. All I can suggest is you download the Trail version of CR 2008 or Cr 2011 and test again.

Problem With Crystal Reports Reading Date Fields From CSV File

I have a date field in a CSV file in the format 06/28/09 17:23:55.523. When I use ODBC the configuartion picks it up a character field. I overright the recommendation type by specifing it is a date field but whne I bring the data into crystal reports the dates are blanks. Any suggestions on how to get around this problem. I need to use the date for selection records.

Crystal Report generating data from incorrect data source

In dealing with a recent post about an upgrade to Crystal XI R2 mixing badly with an old VS 2003 project ( Update to CR XI R2 and service pack 4 issues with VS 2003 ), I've been attempting a few things to get past the issues with missing parameters and so on. I found that I actually was using a parameter in the report I was trying to run, so I assigned the proper value to said parameter, ran the report, and lo and behold all was well. The data was coming back correctly, no errors, everything seemed fine. 
Then I checked the results against the production environment of this application, hosted on a remote server, and was disappointed to find that the reports were now coming back blank. After some deeper investigation, it turned out that the data it was retrieving was coming from my development server and not the production server like it had in the past. As far as I can tell, it is completely ignoring the dataset that I'm assigning to the report object (which is filling with the correct data) and just running the query built into the report, which is connected via ODBC to my development server database. I have no idea what this is going to do when the application is run from the production environment itself, as in, my customers running the application from their desktops, and I have no way of testing this. 
I will fully admit that the report may be poorly designed, because then and surely enough now I'm no crystal expert, but as I said in my previous thread, this all worked fine until I upgraded to XI R2 for another project. Essentially what I want is for the report to accept the dataset and display ONLY that data, and not run a query against the ODBC connection. Is there some way to force this behavior? Here's a sample of my code, if it helps: 
ReportDocument myReport = new ReportDocument(); 
DataSet myData = new DataSet(); 
MySqlDataAdapter myAdapter; 
myAdapter = new MySqlDataAdapter(); 
file_name = ApplicationMain.file_path"
Files
Invoice_"invoice_number+".pdf"; 
MySqlCommand cmd = generate_command(invoice_number, false); 
myAdapter.SelectCommand = cmd; 
myAdapter.Fill(myData,"X"); 
myReport.Load(ApplicationMain.file_path+"
Files
Invoice.rpt"); 
myReport.SetParameterValue("requ_id",this.ID); 
myReport.SetDataSource(myData); 
myReport.ExportToDisk(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, file_name); 
It's all relatively simple, create a dataset, load the report, assign the dataset to the report, export to a PDF.
I've tried to reassign the report's connection to the currently connected database (code snippet below) but every time I end up getting a logon failed error message, even when I know for sure the login data is correct, and even when I'm just connecting to my local development server. 
TableLogOnInfos crtableLogoninfos = new TableLogOnInfos(); 
TableLogOnInfo crtableLogoninfo = new TableLogOnInfo(); 
ConnectionInfo crConnectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo(); 
crConnectionInfo.ServerName = ApplicationMain.com_host; 
crConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = ApplicationMain.com_database; 
crConnectionInfo.UserID = ApplicationMain.com_username; 
crConnectionInfo.Password = ApplicationMain.com_password; 
foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table CrTable in myReport.Database.Tables) 
{ 
 crtableLogoninfo = CrTable.LogOnInfo; 
 crtableLogoninfo.ConnectionInfo = crConnectionInfo; 
 CrTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(crtableLogoninfo); 
} 
I ran that after loading the report, but received a failed login error every time. Any suggestions on how to proceed with this? I'm at a loss because up until now I've never had a problem like this with a crystal report, they always just took the datasets I gave them without ever running anything else.

After attempting quite a few of the proposed solutions, nothing seemed to be working. Due to the limited usage and number of reports in my application, I decided to try recreating them from scratch (there are only 3 and 2 are nearly identical) using only the crystal 9 integrated designer in VS2003. My initial testing has been successful, even using the same base query that the failing reports were using.
Dropping everything and recreating all of ones reports is not the greatest solution, but at worst it's a few hours of tweaking, as opposed to days of frustration messing around trying to get the "corrupted" reports to work again. Thank you again for your assistance.

Crystal Report 2013 - Data not displayed

Dear All
I created one report connecting to SAP Tables directly.
a) I made a new connection - connecting to SAP tables directly.
b) It is connected successuly. It shows all related tables correctly.
c) I selected a table MARA
d) I selected the fields MATNR, ERNAM (for example)
Completed the report.
But on executing, the data is not displayed.. It idspayes 0 records selcted.. ( no errors also )
Can someone help me... Why the dta is is not fetched...
Effectivley, : No data returns when we execute the report.
Regards,
Venkat

Hi Venkat,
Go through below SAP note to over come this issue :
1637505 No data returns when refreshing a reports based off an SAP data source in Crystal Reports.
Symptom
 No data returns when refreshing a report in Crystal Report.
 Reports based off an SAP Customer Relationship Management System (CRM), ECC, ERP... or ABAP functions returns no data in Crystal Reports.
Environment
 Crystal Reports 2008
 SAP Crystal Reports 2011
 BusinessObjects Solution for SAP Integration for XI 3.1
Reproducing the Issue
 Verify from the SAP Customer Relationship Management System that the table or function to which Crystal Report will connect to has data.
 In Crystal Report, create a new report using the connection: SAP Table, Cluster, or Function.
 The new connection will use the Open SQL driver to connect to the table of SAP System.
 Add database fields to the Details section of the report.
 Refresh the report.
 The report returns no data.
Cause
 This is an SAP Netweaver Gateway issue that prevents Crystal Reports from retrieving data.
 When looking at the Crystal Reports logs, you will notice the SAP Gateway Connection to the SAP Netweaver System fails with the error:
 [Tue Sep 27 10:58:21 2011] 5996 5808 SAP: Received return code 1 from RfcWaitForRequest. This is an error. Message CPIC-CALL: 'SAP_CMACCPTP : rc=20

Crystal Reports Template : Data for Cash-Flow Analysis

Dear Experts,
We are working on cash flow forecasting model, i.e going forward 12 months, which in written in MS Excel. We update it with actual data recorded in SAP B1 (Ver 8.8 PL18) A manual process.
Was wondering if we can get a crystal report template which contain the following data:
Sales, Purchases, Collections and Payments by BP in a given time (user specified)
BP Code
BP Name
Sales Invoice #
Sales Invoice Date
Sales Invoice Value (total)
Sales Credit Memo #
Sales Credit Memo Date
Sales Credit Value (total)
Purchase Invoice #
Purchase Invoice Date
Purchase Invoice Value (total)
Purchase Credit Memo #
Purchase Credit Memo Date
Purchase Credit Value (total)
BP Receipt #
BP Receipt Date
BP Receipt Value
BP Payment #
BP Payment Date
BP Payment Value
Thank you to all who have answered this question posted earlier under queries, I am hoping we can get a combined report using CR, a feat not possible using SAP B1 Query function. I look forward to your advice.
Regards
Raj

Hi,
I am not familiar with crystal report. But using queries (that already answered) you can create crystal report.
You can also refer how to guide for creating crystal report in sap b1.

Crystal Reports XI Dates appearing in US format instead of UK Settings

Hi,
When I am running reports from my java Web Application using crystal reports XI, the dates are being displayed as mm/dd/yyyy even though the regional settings are set to dd/mm/yyyy and the date format of the reports is set to use System Default Short Format.
The database used is Oracle 9i.
Any idea what should I change in the configuration to make the dates appear as dd/mm/yyyy?
Thanks.

Hi Again,
In the report, I put the date format as the system default short date format so that it takes the date format from the server.
I tried the following:
            Locale x = new Locale(req.getHeader("Accept-Language"));
            clientDoc.setLocale(x);
but I got the error:
      Invalid parameter value: exceeds the Min or Max or conflicts with existing value or edit mask---- Error code:-2147217382 Error code name:failed
I get this when I am checking if it has a sub report using:
IStrings subrepstrings = clientDoc.getSubreportController()
                    .querySubreportNames();
Do u know how can I solve thiis?

Crystal reports 2008: Data appears upon refresh, but not on initial open

I have an updated crystalreports.com / salesforce.com report to which I added a new subreport and an additional grouping. The report is working fine, with one (rather major) issue: when the report is first opened, only some of the data is shown - there are ~15 columns of data, most of which populate, but some individual values, which sometimes means an entire column of data, do not appear unless the report is refreshed.
I have the original report still loaded in crystalreports.com, so that I can (and have) run both reports one right after the other; on first open, the data doesn't agree. When I refresh the newer report, the 'lost' data appears and everything is fine.
(Makes for a tough sell, though - 'Oh, just refresh the report.')
Any thoughts as to a) what might be causing this, and b) how it might be resolved?
It is not subreport data that is being affected, just so you know - that's working beautifully; the affected fields are Standard Summaries of formula fields, and not all instances of those summaries, either, but specific ones again and again.

I have not used the 'Save Data with Report' option, and I verified that it is not selected under File / Report Options as well. It appears to be an issue when there are too many (unknown how many that is, as of yet) results being retrieved.
In this case, the main report is a report on Activities from the start of the current year, using a Salesforce.com report, and the Subreport pulls its data directly from the Activities table (as the main report considers all of the fields to be String(255) fields, even if they are ought to be read in as Memo fields (or number)). The link to Activities allows the Description field to be pulled in based on the Activity ID, and coming straight from the database the value is pulled in as a Memo.
If I limit the Activities to records beginning with 'A', for instance, the report runs fine; 'A - G', in this instance, retrieves too many and the error re: the database connector appears.

CRM Interactive Reporting - No data, Random Errors - C41 followed

Hi All,
We have followed like others on the SDN, the Config Guide C41 document for setting up CRM Interactive Reporting.
I have two clients on the same box, one for CRM, the other for Reporting (REP).
I have set up a myself connect and checked the OSS notes relating.
I have ran /CRMBW/CONFIG_WIZARD on CRM and REP and all is green with a couple of warnings;
The unique BI client for system CRD is '260' (logical system 'CRDCLNT260')
Using CRM and BI reporting in the same client is not recommended
I have checked OSS note about myself system and all correct, but this warning still comes up? Is this an issue?
I also get the following;
Source system connection using RFC destination CRDCLNT260 (should be CRDCLNT260_T)
The connection is a Trusted connection following some notes & comments from the above warning. I had also created another RFC for this as CRD_260_T and made this a trusted as the previous, but this gave more warnings.
BI_TCO_ACTIVATION is all green and i have checked every object in the REP client.
After all this, if I run RSA3 in the CRM client and the OLTP transaction data sources bring back 0 records. I have checked the OSS notes around the myself and the authorisations for the Background user and for the admin user and all ok. I have run a trace also and nothing has come up.
I also get errors in the Web UI when i try to run a report. It asks to check BSP_WD_EXCEPTION_DISPLAY in tx SAAB. I have followed the note on setting this up and this provides some error around a method XML_TO_ITAB. The method is active and syntax correctly. Is this a red herring?
Can anyone shed any light on anything that is not in the guide, but is crucial for this to work?
Many thanks Geoff.

Hi Geoff,
firstly, you seem to have done quite well so far if you completed the config wizard successfully. The warning about reportin in the same client being not recommended comes because you apparently also configured the BW client (REP) to be a client for interactive reporting. The wizard is supposed to run in the source client alone, not also in the BW client. But don't worry, it should not do any harm.
The warning Source system connection using RFC destination CRDCLNT260 (should be CRDCLNT260_T) has the same reason: You run the wizard in the BW client, where the BW client is connected to itself via myself connection CDRCLNT260. Just leave it that way and don't change anything.
Technically everything seems to be correctly configured. Now you are wondering why you don't see any data. This can have various reasons. Most likely, your user is not assigned as the person responsible to any sales document. For this to work, your user must be assigned to a business partner, and that business partner must be assigned to a suitable place in the CRM org model either as employee or manager. The employee must be the person responsible to all documents he wants to see in the reports, or a manager of such employees.
The last problem about the Web UI is nothing I can help with. I propose you open another post on that.
Best regards

Crystal Report Chart Data (Y) Axis setting

Is there a way to set the Y axis to use a variable for scaling. For instance, I have various units of measure some 1-10, some maybe 100-500, etc. I'd like to have the capability of setting increments depending on how I want it to scale.

Thats my problem. I want the ability to auto based on my own input. in the auto range I can only set 1 range of value. what if i have value that range from 1 to 1000. my chart will compress to much. so i want to say for this particular phase i want a range of 1 to 10. maybe another phase i want a range of 20-100.

Change crystal report data source dynamically failed with multi tables report

hello all
i have many reports created by someone else on his own machine using same database file i use
my application use Visual studio 2013 win form with crystal report pack 9
i use rpt files provided to me
connect database use OLEDB
to show form i use below code
SQLstr = " select what ever from table "                      ' defined as Public
reportName = rpt file path & report name
showReport()
public sub showReport()
reportTable.clear()                                                       ' defined as Public
DBAdapter = new oleDpdataAdapter(SQLstr,DBconnection)
DBAdapter.fill(reportTable)
dim rptDoc as new Crystaldesicin.crystalreports.Engine.ReportDocument
rptDoc.load(reportName)
rptDoc.setdatasource(reportTable)
formRpt.RptViewer.reportsource = rptDoc
formRpt.showdialog()
now
when i use one table report with (select from one table) >>>>> works perfectly
but when i use report retrieve data from 2 tables and group   data like using
SQLstr = " select 'table'.'coulumn', 'table2'.'column' ....... etc
from 'table1'
INNER JOIN 'table2' ON 'table'.'coulumn' = 'table2'.'column'
it's not working and formrpt shown but asking for database login
I noted that in database login window : server name refer to ORIGINAL DATABASE USED BY Report Creator not to my local database
================================================
i tried to set
rptDoc.datasourceconnection.item(0).setconnection("","databse file path and name", False)
rptDoc.datasourceconnection.item(0).setlogin("admin","")
but the same
using dataset instead of reportTable the same error
================================================
what i missed in this type of reports?

Using Crystal Report Data Connection in Xcelcius 2008

The documentation does not explain how data to populate row, column and details is passed to SWF.
Can some-one please point how CR Data Connection when created in Xcelcius 2008 is used in Crystal Report Design time ? Is it through Flash variables? Basically more details are needed for "when setup properly" clause. How to map Crystal Reports Fields to Xcelcius Definitions.
Thanks
Harish Tejwani
From Doc:
"With the release of Crystal Reports 2008, it is now possible to embed an Xcelsius-generated SWF file into a Crystal Report and have the SWF consume data from that report. When set up properly, refreshing the data in your Crystal Report will update the embedded SWF.
To configure your Xcelsius SWF to consume data from its Crystal Rport source data, you must open the Data Manager in Xcelsius and add a new Crystal Report Data Consumer connection. After adding the connection, bind the following ranges to your spreadsheet: Row Headers, Column Headers, Data"
"Using Crystal Reports 2008, embed the SWF file into the Crystal Report source data file. When designing your Crystal Report, you will determine what fields/data populate the Row Headers, Comumn Headers, and Data ranges that were designated in your Xcelsius SWF. When set up properly, refereshing your Crystal Report will also refresh the data being sent to and consumed by the embedded SWF. See"

Hi,
Its a best practice to use the code given below in the unload event of the page or the code can also be written in a button press event so that the disposing is ensured manually(If sessions are in use).
boReportDocument.Close();
boReportDocument.Dispose();
GC.Collect();
Note: boReportDocument is the object of ReportDocument.
This code disposes the report object after using it.

Crystal Report 2008 - Save Report with Data

I saved a Crystal report with data in Dev Environment on BOE Server (Infoview Folder) and this is transported to Quality Environment. In the quality environment, when I try to view this report, initial screen comes up with data of Development, instead of Quality environment.
I am expecting that it will load the default data from Quality environment for the stored selection.
Is there any settings to be done in the report settings, so that i can view the saved report in Quality Environment with Quality Env data instead of Dev Env Data?

Thanks Don for the reply.
In case, If we save the report with data in Dev, we need to update DB configuration to point to Quality Env using "Use Custom databse Logon Information".
But when it gets transported to production (From Quality), it will show up Quality Envdata. So should i have to update the BOE in Q Environment, to point to Production and transport it?
Is there any automated way that the system will point to right systems appropriately based on transport landscape?
Does the functionality of "Save the report with data" used mainly for user friendliness for analysis in one environment and this functionality is not supported to move between environments?
