Crystal Report using a Web Service as a data source?

I am trying to figure out how to use a Web Service as a data source in Crystal Reports. When I use the report wizard, I do not see an option to select Web Service as a new connection. We are currently using Crystal Reports 2008 v12.1.0.892. Could it be that my version does not support this? Is there an update that contains this feature? Please help.

Thanks for your response. Unfortunately I do not see a radio button for Web Services. I've read that it should be there too. Could it be a missing plug-in or patch?
Here are screen shots of what I see when trying to connect to an XML. Any thoughts?

How to create Java client to use WCC web services

I'm trying to create a Java client to use web services available with Web Center Content.
I generated stubs using "cxf-codegen-plugin" and I wrote following code (very trivial):
DocInfo docInfo = null;
*try {*
docInfo = new DocInfo(new URL("http://vmxp43:16200/cs/idcplg?IdcService=GET_SOAP_WSDL_FILE&wsdlName=DocInfo&idcToken=1344065729220:B443F7C3DED844B594F32E0B3914E576&IsSoap=1"));
*} catch (MalformedURLException e) {*
e.printStackTrace(); //To change body of catch statement use File | Settings | File Templates.
DocInfoSoap docInfoSoap = docInfo.getDocInfoSoap();
DocInfoByIDResult docInfoByIDResult = docInfoSoap.docInfoByID(new Integer(2), null);
At the moment I'm obtaining following error:
Exception in thread "main" javax.xml.ws.WebServiceException: Failed to access the WSDL at: http://vmxp43:16200/cs/idcplg?IdcService=GET_SOAP_WSDL_FILE&wsdlName=DocInfo&idcToken=1344065729220:B443F7C3DED844B594F32E0B3914E576&IsSoap=1. It failed with:

How to create a single report using 5 difftent reports

Hi Experts
how to create a single report using 5 repors in it.
Example
I have to create a Survey history report using
Reports like Surevy 1
                  Surevy 2
                  Surevy 3
                  Surevy 4
                  Surevy 5
Please suggest me.
Santosh

Use Analysis Process Designer (RSANWB) to feed each of the survey BEX reports to one DSO. Assuming each of the surveys has something in common to compare. Could also be used as a snapshot storage for the surveys in case history needs to be compared/archived.
Build the Direct update DSO with the survey objects. Add needed time characteristics and/or version control objects to the key.
Data sources will be the 5 surveys.
Add formula to hardcode version/time for history.
Data target is the direct update DSO.

How to create cross tab reports using RAS SDK api with Crystal Reports XI

Hi Everybody,
Iam generating reports in a web-based application with Crystal Reports XI using Report Application Server(RAS) SDK API. The columns in my report exceed that of an A4 sized page. So, when I export that report to pdf, only those columns that fit to a page are showing up. To solve, this problem, I thought of using cross tab. But, I donot know how to generate cross tab report using RAS SDK API. I have tried to get some code from the internet. But, I did not find any java code for that.Can some one give me some sample code.It is very urgent.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
The easiest way I use is to create the worksheet as regular table and then when i verify the data I get (non aggregate) I duplicate it as a cross tab.
In the duplication wizard I just need to define the axis (using drag and drop).
if you want to create a cross tab from the beginning you need to define that in the new workbook wizard (check the "cross tab" rather then "table"), chose your fields and define the place you want them.
The data point (the center of the cross tab) is aggregated as to your machine definition and will happen automatically.
for example: to find the amount of receipt by months:
On the left put the "Buyer Name", on top put the "Months" and in the data point put the amount.
What you'll get is something like:
months: jan feb mar apr ......
buyer_name
jhon_smith 100 50 30 250 ......
jhon_doe 80 45 90 453 ........
and so on.....

Creating a crystal report using excel

I have an excel spreadsheet that I would like to access to create a crystal reports. But it seems that I have to first save it as an access or other database file. But this information changes frequently so I it would be more efficient to access the excel file directly. I tried using the crystal wizard addin in excel, but then when I run the report I get the error message "Server has not yet been opened". Any other ideas on how to create report of excel data directly?

Hello Guys ,
I have something similar problem ,but not exactly.
our requirement is We are scheduling one crystal report to generate excel and sent to FTP location.This Excel file (in FTP) should be the input of new Crystal Report using ODBC (RDO) connection.
I am able to create the ODBC connection,but that ODBC connection is not showing me the selected excel sheet in the Crystal Report ODBC Connection.I tried with Remote as well as local drive Excel also.
I tried on different machine (thought ,it could be Driver specific),but all machines does have same issue.
Is there any settings or driver upgrades require for CR XI R2 /2008 in order to use ODBC (RDO) for EXCEL FILES.I didnt find any comments /resolution in Google too.
My steps -
1) Create a sample Excel file - only few records
2) Created a System ODBC connection pointing this excel file say "TEST1"
3) Opened A Blank Crystal Report
4) Create a New connection
5) Select ODBC RDO
6) Create new connection and selected the newly created SYSTEM DSN "TEST1"
7) check the selected excel is displayed in ODBC RDO connection??
If it is a Crystal Report issue or ODBC Driver issue ,please let me know if anyone have came across similar issues.
thanks in advance.

How to create a Crystal Report to connect to Oracle

Hi,
When I create a Crystal report to connect to SQL Server, I create a stored procedure to get all data I need and connect to it from Crystal Report.(In the stored procedure, I created temp tables, used cusor etc to run data.) But now I need to use a Oracle database. I heard I need to create a package and put this stored procedure in this package. Questions:
1. if I need to create a package, how can I call the stored procedure from it?
2. Can I create temp table in this procedure too? I need to create some temp tables to join together to get complex data.
3. if I want the return data from stored procedure, do I still "select ... from ..." or there is another other ways?
I am so desperated. Please help. I know this are very silly questions. But please.

Hi Jenny,
We are also using Crystal Reports for our Oracle Database, we normally just select the tables we want to use or create our own SQL query.
However, if you really want to use Oracle stored-procedure (which performs faster than a SQL query because the stored procedure is compiled in advance), you can look at this document:
http://support.businessobjects.com/communityCS/TechnicalPapers/scr_oracle_stored_procedures.pdf
Hope this will answer your questions.

Hello Honza
You will have to use the InProc RAS SDK as this includes report creation APIs. A few resources to get you started:

How to create a generic method which invokes Web Service

Hi I have a question how to create Web Service client. In design mode I can't specify static url ?WSDL and process.
I found briliant method in apache cxf library.
for example
JaxWsDynamicClientFactory dcf = JaxWsDynamicClientFactory.newInstance();
Client clientA = dcf.createClient("http://soabpm-vm:8001/soa-infra/services/default/MailSender/mailsender_client_ep?WSDL");
Object[] resultA;
try{
resultA = clientA.invoke(new QName("http://xmlns.oracle.com/SynchDSBpel20/MailSender/MailSender", "process"), "@", "body", "topic");
}catch (Exception e){}
In my case I should create a method with params (urls ?WSDL, URI, operetion name, param1, praram2, param3)
Is there anything like CXF in ADF library's?

This can be very easily done using a web service proxy (Select web services from the categories and web service proxy from the items).
In the "Create Web Service Proxy" wizard, make sure you select JAX-WS client style. JDeveloper will use the JAX-WS web service API and JAXB (Java Architecture for XML Binding) to generate all required classes and methods required to call a web services, binding Java method signatures to WSDL messages and operations.

Create a Crystal Report using Java

Hi
Im Using Java 6 to connect to a Crystal Reports server. Im trying to create a common API that we can use throughout our office for integration with Crystal Reports.
But Im having troubles with my method to upload/create a report. If I create a new Report Object via the Business Objects Central Management Console then everything is fine, but I get some funnies when I do it via Java.
My upload code is like this :
IInfoObjects newObjs = infoStore.newInfoObjectCollection();
IPluginInfo pluginInfo = infoStore.getPluginMgr().getPluginInfo(CeProgID.REPORT);
IInfoObject newObj = newObjs.add(pluginInfo);
IReport myReport = (IReport)newObj;
myReport.setTitle("title");
myReport.setParentID(parentId);
IFiles files = myReport.getFiles();
files.addFile(file);
infoStore.commit(newObjs);
Now that all works fine and I get no errors. When I look at the Central Management Console I can see the newly created Report, but when I click on it I dont get any of the standard tabs. i.e. 'Properties', 'History' etc, but I do get an error message on the screen that simply says "An internal error has occurred"
I cant find anything in the logs to tell me what this error is, and my steps to create/upload the report seem to match every example I have found.
Can anyone help with this problem?
Thanks for your time
