Crystal Report with standard Input-Parameters in InfoView

Hi there,
i've created a crystal report which has non-optional input parameters, e.g, Date from ... Date to ...
I've managed to fill this parameter with standard parameters if the user does not choose a value. e.g. date is today - 14 days.
If i start the report in crystal and do not enter a input-parameter, it gets it input parameer automatically, see:
(if not hasvalue({?PARA_TA_von}) then ({PW_BO_HU_TA.LTAP-WDATU}>=CurrentDate-14) else ({PW_BO_HU_TA.LTAP-WDATU}>={?PARA_TA_von}))
It works perfectly in crystal. But if i start the Report in Webintelligence Infoview, it doesn't work and i get the message to enter the input-parameters....
Any idea ?
Thanks,
Sebastian

Hi Ingo,
I have tried the sample reports and other crystal reports created with data sources other than SAP which all work fine. The problem happens on all clients and the server when running reports with SAP data source.
I did find an error in the Tomcat logs.
[/SAP].[jsp] Thread [http-8080-Processor24];  Servlet.service() for servlet jsp threw exception
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/crystaldecisions/Utilities/LengthLimitedDataInputStream
I did manage to run one report which had 4 records but the other reports which vary from 432 - 2500 records return the error found in the tomcat logs.
I will be installing BOE XI 3.1 on my desktop to see if the still issue occurs in this release.
Thanks and Regards,
Paul.

  • Crystal Report with text(csv) data file, can we set it as input parameter?

    Hi,
    I am a new user of Crystal Reports 2008.
    I have created a report with charts in it. The input data comes from a csv text file.
    Can I set the name of this text file as an input parameter?
    as I need to generate 44 similar reports with different text filenames(and data)?
    Thank you.
    Regards

    Brian,
    Thanks much.
    I did exactly what you said.
    Just to see any change, I first gave a bad report file name just to see if I am accidentally pointing to a different file,
    but I got an error saying report not found.
    Then I renamed my original datafile name and generated a report and it still generated one without giving an error.
    Then I also gave a junk name to the logoninfo and printed that name, the new name was assigned to logoninfo, but the code did not error out.
    It ended up generating the report.
    Now here is what I think is happening,
    1) The save data in report option seems to be still on even though I have turned it off in 2 locations
    a) file -> Report Options
    b) file -> Options -> Reporting tab.
    2) For some reason the logoninfo is getting ignored as well.
    Since I did not see any answers yesterday I posted a link to this thread on the .Net forum
    Crystal Report with text(csv) data file, can we set it as input param? C#
    and Ludek Uher says that I am connecting to the text file via a DAO database engine and so need to use the same code for changing the text file as for changing an Access database.
    But the link he gave me tells me to try the same thing that we have been trying..
    Here is my plan,
    1) I will first try and find out why my save data with report option is still on ( but it shows off in Crystal ).
    2) why is LogonInfo getting ignored.
    Meanwhile any suggestions from anyone are welcome.

  • Crystal Report with text(csv) data file, can we set it as input param? C#

    Hi,
    I am new to the forums and posted a question which belonged to the .net - SAP Crystal reports group.
    Can someone help me with my problem? following is the thread that I have started.
    Crystal Report with text(csv) data file, can we set it as input parameter?
    Thank you in advance.

    Looking at the original thread, you are connecting to the text file via the DAO database engine:
    "I added the text file as follow, new connection -> Access/Excell (DAO) -> select the file and the database type as text"
    Thus I would use the same code for changing the text file as for changing an Access database. See Kbase [1218178 - Error: "Logon failed" when connecting to Access database in .NET application|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_bi/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333233313338333133373338%7D.do] for more information. If that does not work, you may want to consider connecting via ODBC or feeding the data from the text file to and ADO .NET dataset and pointing the report at the dataset.

    Ramsudhakar,
    There are several items that could cause these slow down problems. Without knowing more about the way your environment is setup, I could cause more problems, by giving out performance tips. You would need to be more specific in your post.

  • JRC bug: apostrophe in string parameter passed to Crystal Report with Command datasource to SQL Server

    Post Author: nl11087
    CA Forum: JAVA
    A single quote/apostrophe in string parameter passed to a Crystal Report with Command datasource connecting to a SQL Server database, using sqljdbc driver does not escape the special character correctly. When doing a preview in the Crystal Reports IDE it allows you to escape the input parameter as expected and work correctly, but through the JRC component it fails. For string parameters without special sql server characters I experience no problems at all. When replacing the Command with a direct table there is also no problem.
    Reproduction:
    1. create a database db1, create a table table1 with a String type column col1.
    2. Create new report Report1.rpt, create a connection to above, Add Command using 'SELECT col1, col2, col3 FROM table1 WHERE col1 = '{?Par1}' . Add a parameter field Par1 : String
    3. In your java stand alone application using JRC add the parameter Par1 with a value "Jon Doe's Value" containing a single apostrophe. Export to PDF. (I also tried MSWord and this failed too, similar behavior). Additionally, in another test try to replaceAll("'","''") to escape it, preventing the code to break, but now it does not retrieve the expected row anymore and you end up with an empty report.

  • Does BOXI support crystal reports with parameter references in formulas?

    I am designing a report in Crystal Reports XI Developer that contains parameters, which are passed to a stored procedure and are also used within formulas ( in Crystal Syntax ie. {?FORMAT_ID} ) in the report itself.
    I can run the report successfully in CRXI Developer.  The formulas use the correct values from the parameters entered during execution and everything looks good.
    I then deploy the report to Business Objects Enterprise XI.  I do all of the things necessary to manage the report including setting up the proper database connection information and default parameter values.
    When I run the report using the Crystal Report Viewer, I get the following error message:
    Error in File Forecasting.rpt:
    Error in formula <Report Format>.
    'if (not isNull({?FORMAT_ID} ) ) then
    This field name is not known.
    Details: errorKind
    This happens when I press the "Preview" button in the Manage Object dialog from Crystal or when I run the report using InfoView.
    I have changed the formulas and it doesn't seem to matter what the specific content of the formula is; other than the existence of a parameter reference in the formula.  If I comment out the parameter and replace it with a hard-coded value, it gets through the formula fine.
    Does Business Objects Enterprise XI support crystal reports with parameter references in the formulas?
    Thanks,
    Tim H.

    Hi,
       In Crystal Reports under File -> Report Options >check convert Null Values to default > Verify on first refresh > Verify stored procedures on first refresh.
    This corrected the issue by allowing the query engine time to locate those columns and map them to the query being sent by the report.
    The convert null values was added because those field were being used in the record selection and grouping.

  • BI: Virtual Provider for ECC Report with same selection parameters

    Dear all,
    I have attached screen shot of ECC report selection screen with contain Material, Plant and Dates. As report is bit complex and I need to use just ITAB (internal table) of it for further use in BEx Query and for Dashboard purposes.
    Problem: I need to call this report by creating Virtual Provider in BI so that I get data from ECC at runtime as it is shares report so I can't able to save any data in transparent table as report calculated opening balances at runtime.
    It is possible for me by using function module i can get itab by submit return and then create Data Source for it ?
    As i make copy of FM ZZRSAX_BIW_GET_SIMPLE i cannot use submit there due to OPEN CURSOR mechanism there.
    Kindly anyone suggest how it is possible to call report with same selection parameters for creation of virtual provider.
    Please mention if i miss any point in explaining problem.
    Feel free to ask for any query.
    Many thanks.
    Hoping for positive and quick responses.

    please create 2 reports as given below.-
    REPORT  ZSZP_00007.
    parameters a(5) .
    parameters b(5) .
    parameters c(5) .
    AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.
    LOOP AT SCREEN.
    IF screen-name = 'A' or screen-name = 'B' .
      get parameter id 'aaaaaaaaaaa' field a.
      get parameter id 'bbbbbbbbbbb' field B.
    screen-input = 0.
    MODIFY SCREEN.
    ENDIF.
    ENDLOOP.
    start-of-selection.
    your logic
    REPORT  zszp_00005.
    PARAMETERS a(5).
    PARAMETERS b(5).
    START-OF-SELECTION.
      SET PARAMETER ID 'aaaaaaaaaaa' FIELD a.
      SET PARAMETER ID 'bbbbbbbbbbb' FIELD b.
    your logic
    SUBMIT zszp_00007 VIA SELECTION-SCREEN.
    i hope this approach will solve your problem.

  • Business Objects Crystal Reports with Clarity - anyone on here use is?

    Hi all,
    we are in the process of upgrading our Clarity system to version 8.1.1 - which has gone away from Actuate to support Crystal Reports instead.
    Is anyone here using Crystal Reports with Actuate already?
    I was looking into upgrading from CR XI to CR 2008 - but wondered if the extra functionality is worth the upgrade cost.
    They say that users can interact with the data by sorting/filtering and re-formatting without re-querying the database - and there is a parameter panel that allows new parameters to be added to the 'saved' data..
    i was wondering if those features are available when it is used with Clarity..
    thanks in advance,
    Matt

    Hi Matthew,
    I recommend to post this query to the [Crystal Reports Design|SAP Crystal Reports;  forum:
    That forum is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
    Also, all Crystal Reports Design queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.

  • Creating Crystal Reports with Crystal Report Server XI

    Hello,
    I am new to Crystal Reports, i installed Crystal Reports Server XI R2 on Windows 2003 server with SP2 and was able to launch Inforview application and also Central Management Console Log On.

    Two ways to create reports:
    1) You install the Crystal reports Designer (CRW32.exe).
    With your Crystal Report Server, you should also have received a second CD that would have the CR designer.
    2) You use the RAS SDK and create reports on the fly using the RAS report creation APIs - .NET or Java. Since you are in the .NET developer forum, I assume you might be interested in the .NET RAS SDK. Here is a list of resources i would recommend:
    Links to samples are [here|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/wiki?path=/display/bobj/netBusinessObjectsEnterpriseSDKSamples]

  • Crystal reports with BI

    Hi
    what is deffirence for make crystal reports with Bi and build universe and make report on Universe?
    which will be most useful
    what scenerio we use deffirent cases?

    Hi,
    Crystal reports provides you with more features regarding formating your reports. It is a more powerful but also more complex tool when compared to Web Intelligence. Normally you use CR if you want to create highly formatted standard reports. You can even embed XCelsius dashboards in a CR document. Do not forget that in order to design a CR report you need to install locally the crystal reports designer tool. Another major difference if that depending on the integration option you chose during the installation you can publish your CR reports in both the SAP BI and BOBJ system. This is helpful when you want to implement multipass report bursting and assign reports on SAP roles directly on your SAP system. As you mentioned CR reports are built using direct SAP BI drivers. You cannot build a CR report based on a OLAP (SAP BI) universe.
    Web Intelligence (WebI) on the other hand is web-based and is meant to be a tool for ad-hoc reporting. The user is able to create rather quickly appealing reports and the learning curve is rather short. Web Intelligence reports are based on universes which are created on top of BI queries or InfoCubes.
    I personally find the handling of BI hierarchies a little better in WebI when compared to Crystal Reports.
    Hope this helps,
    Stratos

  • Crystal Reports with BEx Query using Custom Exit Variable

    Hi,
    We have BW BEx Query using Customer User Exit variable to derive  the Fiscal Week for Last Year (called it VAR2) based on another user input variable Current Fiscal Week (called it VAR1).
    VAR2 is derived from VAR1 in CMOD via some codings and thus it DOES NOT have the "Variable is Ready for Input" flag ticked in the BEx. VAR1 is user input variable, so it has "Variable is Ready for Input" flag ticked in the BEx.
    When we create a Crystal Reports with the BEx Query using variable VAR2, and when we run it we got an error message saying "Failed to execute query; '[]<java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: No Selection State Support!ZP_MI_LYPUBWEEK>'. Redesign your query or contact the data source maintainer to solve the problem".  (note: ZP_MI_LYPUBWEEK is VAR2 in this case).
    Could anyone please assist? Surely, CR supports BEx customer user exit variables like the above, right?. I also refer to the forum below as it seems to have a similar issue (except mine with an error message), but it does not provide a solution in it.

    Hi Vibhav,
    We have the SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise XI4.0 Version 14.0.0. Not sure if SP0 or other SP, got to check with Basis Team later.
    We tried that "mandatory" option and did not work either.
    Anyway, SAP has now come back again saying it is something they will fix it in next release/version. We got a phone call from them and a reply below to our OSS.
    23.08.2011 - 08:20:49 CET - Info for Customer by SAP  
    I have raised this issue on the Idea#s Place as an enhancement request
    on the below link:
    https://cw.sdn.sap.com/cw/ideas/5586
    This ER contains the information of including the customer exit
    variables in the report without checking the #input for ready# option.
    This ER can be considered for being implemented in the future
    versions. You can refer to SAP Note: 1515837 - How To: Enhancement
    Request Process - "Idea Place" for more information regarding the Idea
    Place.

  • How do I install UFL for Crystal Report XI for use on BOE InfoView XI 3.1?

    I have a Crystal XI Report that uses a UFL that was created by someone else. The library works just fine on my machine but I need to put this report out in BOE InfoView XI 3.1 for users. The library is Java Class.
    I have tried to put the library onto the BOE server but the folder structure, etc. is different on the BOE server.
    Could use some help on this.
    Thanks in advance.

    I have a license for Crystal XI on my desktop and that is all.
    We have licensing for BOE Repository to store and execute Crystal Reports. When I run a published Crystal Report the view panel in InfoView displays Crystal Report 2008 logo.
    Crystal Reports with UFL work on my machine because I can follow the documentation for Crystal Java UFL's (which is the same as the note you referenced), but that documentation is useless for BOE InfoView because Crystal Reports on the BOE InfoView server is entirely different.

  • Enhancing Customer Reports with Commands and Parameters

    Hi All,
    I am implementing the mentioned tutorial. I have succesfully deployed the AccessStatisticApplication PAR on portal. While scheduling the report from Content Management -> Reports -> Running Reports, it is giving error "<b>Can't find bundle for base name com.sap.netweaver.km.stats.reports.DocumentAccessReport, locale en_US</b>". Has anyone faced the problem, can anyone please help to remove this runtime error.

    <i>True, the application property service is apparently not to be used for a real-life scenario</i>
    You can definitely use the application property service in production scenarios - it's used by other components in a standard KM install, i.e. out-of-the-box.
    <i>in our case it forced the server down with deadlocks. </i>
    This should definitely not happen! Did you get SAP support to take a look at this? Was it the most popular documents report that caused this, or some other custom code? There should be no such problem with this service, since it's been around for quite some time and in production use.
    <i>
    Even if the code sample is not to be used for real-life scenarios it could at least make use of something else than the application property service which isnt't optimal for this use.
    </i>
    The application property service is good for a lot of scenarios, so it is realistic to use in in real-life scenarios. The only time I have seen this approach (storing the number of hits on documents in the database) fail is in very high-load scenarios.
    <i>Could you provide me with a link to the documentation for the logging framework?</i>
