How to link a webi report from crystal report

Hello everyone,
                      I am trying to link a webi report from crystal XI.
In my crosstab, the data is divided grouped by periods.
So for every country it shows data along a period of time.
The details for the value of the crosstab are in a webi report.I am trying to pass the period value and country name as a prompt from crystal to webi but it is not picking them correctly.
can we pass prompts from a crystal report to a webi url??

Try to use OpenDoc URL to pass the parameter values from crystal to webi. To use OpenDoc URL you need to publish these reports in server. See the following example
http://server name:8080/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=wid&sPath=[folder name]&sDocName=Child&iDocID=4804&lsSEnter+State:=California

Raghavendra

  • Consuming a Web service from Crystal reports 2008 - Error

    Hi,
    I want to consume a web service from Crystal Reports 2008. I created a New Connection using "XML and Web Services" and given WSDL url as the Web Service location. Crystal Report is able to connect to the WSDL and is displaying the tags correctly. When dragging the output to "Selected Tables' section, I am getting the following error:
    "Invalid Argument Provided"
    Details: Cannot support ArrayType input parameters.
    Kindly help. Apparently this was a limitation in CR XI but does it still exist in CR 2008? Is there any patch available to resolve this issue?
    Thanks,
    Jaya

  • CR2008 Not enough memory while exporting reports from Crystal Reports 2008

    I have recently upgraded our Crystal Reports version from Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008 to Crystal Reports 2008.

    GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers();
    Can someone help me resolve the issue.

    The .rpt file size is 14MB with the Data Save option enabled, 12MB without Data Save.  Presumably the 12MB file size is because of the 24bit PNG we have as our background.
    The Designer executes the report in less than a second and we can scroll through all pages and see the image fields perfectly.
    When we Export to PDF, the Designer takes a long time, eventually gets to the 77%, the 7th record and returns "Export report failed" followed by "Memory full".  If we export only page 1 of the 3 pages, it also returns a Memory full error.  However, when the same report is run with only 1 page, that page exports to PDF but with a ridiculously large size and export time.
    The machine has 2GB of physical memory with an 8GB pagefile with Windows 2003 (latest everything).  The process runs up to about 1GB before reporting the memory full error.
    We've also tried a variety of other suggestions posted in the other thread with no success.
    We're happy to provide the RPT file to the Report Team to diagnose the problem.  Ultimately, we need to be able to produce a 15 page report with approximately 45 images.
    Our preferred scenario is fixing problem 2.  The CR Designer seems quite capable of rendering our report and printing it to our third party PDF printer in a timely manner with small size.  However, the API reports memory full.
    The API resides in a dedicated reporting web service with NO other code except for loading the report, setting parameters and printing.  When executing, it uses up to about 1.1GB before reporting the error.
    Are there any other suggestions for fixing what we have?  Are there known problems with large images in reports?  Do we need to lodge a formal support request?
    Regards,  Grant.

  • How to load a web page into crystal report

    How can i load a web page into crystal report? pls help
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Sebastin,
    You can't open a webpage in your Crystal Report, because all webpages will be executed in browser only. If you insert any webpage link in any documents it will not open in the same document, it will open in browser.
    Hope this will help you
    Thanks,

  • How to print directly to Printer from Crystal Report Viewer ?

    Hi All,
    We are integrating our Java Web Application with Crystal report XI, currently using JRC and export to PDF for user to preview and print to local printer.
    Now there is new requirement :
    Some clients is using thin client terminal (no harddisk, only has OS +Browser in ROM), so I cannot install Acrobat Reader for them to preview&print the report.
    So I am looking at  Crystal Report Viewer, the question is : Can I print from Crystal Report Viewer directly to local printer without first converting it to PDF (because I can't have acrobat reader installed) ??
    Thank you very much,
    Krist
    Indonesia

    Hi,
    It can't be achieved through XI.
    JRCXI R2 SDK offers the ability to print the report server side
    using the PrintOutputController using printReport(PrintReportOptions printReportOptions) method.
    Here is the code(for XIR2):
    import="com.crystaldecisions.reports.sdk.*"
    import="com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.*"
    import="com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.document.*"
    try {
    final String REPORT_NAME = "Inventory.rpt";
    ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();
    reportClientDoc.open(REPORT_NAME, 0);
    //Create and set print options.
    PrintReportOptions printOptions = new PrintReportOptions();
    //Note: Printer with the 'printer name' below must already be configured.
    printOptions.setPrinterName("
    10.10.45.220
    BOBJ 2C");
    printOptions.setJobTitle("Sample Print Job from JRC.");
    printOptions.setPrinterDuplex(PrinterDuplex.horizontal);
    printOptions.setPaperSource(PaperSource.auto);
    printOptions.setPaperSize(PaperSize.paperLetter);
    printOptions.setNumberOfCopies(1);
    printOptions.setCollated(false);
    PrintReportOptions.PageRange printPageRange = new PrintReportOptions.PageRange(1,1);
    printOptions.addPrinterPageRange(printPageRange);
    //NOTE: If parameters or database login credentials are required, they need to be set before.
    //calling the printReport() method of the PrintOutputController.
    reportClientDoc.getPrintOutputController().printReport(printOptions);
    reportClientDoc.close();
    out.println("Successfully sent report to the printer.");
    catch(ReportSDKException ex) {     
         out.println(ex);
    Please revert in case you have any query.
    Thanks,

  • How to enhance the Excel export from Crystal Reports

    Hello,
    I am new in Crystal Reports and I wonder if it is possible to enhance the Excel export from Crystal Reports with post-processing that would be applied to the Excel exported file.
    By example, is it possible to freeze the window panes, so rows and columns are frozen in place on the screen?
    Is there any possibility to obtain the file exported to excel to work with.
    Or maybe there is some ways to parametrize the Excel export from Crystal Reports?
    Any suggestions are welcomed.

    If you are using Crystal Reports 2008 you can use the Report Application SDK that is now available.
    It has a object called PrintOutputController that has an export method that allows you to get access to the exported file before you send it to the user.
    Check the Developer library and the samples for details.

  • Upgrading a Report from Crystal Reports 10 to Crystal Reports 11

    Post Author: Chakradhar
    CA Forum: Upgrade to XI 3.0
    HI All,
    Please provide a solution for this..
    Is there any way to change the version of a report without redesigning the report?
    If we upgrade the report without redisign, dont we lose the special features of the new version.
    Actually i want to the change from Crystal Reports 10 to Crystal Reports 11.

    Hi Chakradhar,
    You can open an older version of the report in a new version of designer and just saving it again will automatically convert the version to the new version. To utilized new features you must modify the report and add the new features.
    Cheers,

  • How to link to Fathercard Name in Crystal reports

    Hello all,
    I have a Crystal report that gives me all open sales orders with down pmts. It works fine.
    Since I use BP consolidation, I have the report sorting by parent BP, then child BP number.
    If the detail line is for the Child BP, I want to display both its Cardname, and the Fathercard BP name. Since there is no field in the ORDR file for Fathercardname, I tried adding the OCRD table (a second time), and setting a link from the ORDR Fathercard to the OCRD CardName. That just causes it to exclude any Parent BP orders.
    Is there a way to directly read or create a formula to pull the name from OCRD using the fathercard as a key?
    thanks for any help on this.
    Bob

    Julie,
    I tried the additional table instance of OCRD and did a link from the OCDR Fathercard -> OCRD_1 Cardcode fields (and removed all the other auto-links it created).
    This does make it pull in the correct name from the OCRD file using the Fathercard as the key. But it excludes all the parent BP transactions just like before. The underlying SQL query is doing the default Inner join, and since parent sales orders don't have a fathercard, they are excluded (it seems).
    So I found that in the Crystal link options you can change the join types, and changed it from Inner to a Left outer join.
    This did allow it to pull in both parent and child sales orders that I expected.
    I had some grouping issues that I needed to correct, but now it shows everything perfectly.
    thanks!
    Bob

    Hi Darknight,
    What is it you want to find once you are connected? Since you posted this in the Database Connectivity forum I assume you want to connect to some DB or flat file on that server? If it's a DB then use the client to connect from windows. If it's a flat file then you should be able to use whatever connection utility you use to see the file system from windows. I don't know Unix so not sure but need more details.
    Thank you

  • How to recover the deleted reports from crystal reports XIR2

    Hi,
    There have been few crystal reports have been deleted from crystal environment and i would like to know how to recover them. please advice the best possible ways to recover them. CMS repositoty in SQL server database
    thanks in advance
    Regards,
    Krishna

    Hope, your question is this "How to recover the deleted Crystal reports in XI R2".
    Answer for this question is...
    Yes, it is possible if you have backup of your CMS and FRS.
    Copy the CMS database from the backup to your database server and point the CMS ODBC system DSN to it.
    Copy the backed up file store to a Temp directory.
    Change the path of input and output file repository servers in the CMC, for each server, to the Temp file store directory.
    You will now be able to find the reports. Copy those reports to the BO server's local disk, or create a BIAR file using the Import Wizard.
    Point the ODBC system DSN back to the original database and also change the paths on input file repository and output file repository servers back to their original locations.
    Publish the reports to Enterprise from the BusinessObjects server's local hard disk.

  • How to open A Windows Form from Crystal Reports

    Hello All
    We are using crystal Repors 10 with Visual studio .Net 2005. Our requirement is to open the Windows Form when a user click on the respective Hyperlink. Simillarly popping up the MessageBox when clicking hyperlink.
    How this is possible, I will be really thankful to anyone who solves my problem

    Depending if this is a web or win app, you have different solutions.
    Web or win, use hyperlinks and redirect to an aspx page (I think hyperlinks are supported in CR 10.2).
    Win, use events as described in the sample app csharp_win_viewer_events.zip / vbnet_win_viewer_events.zip. I have never used the events to pop up a new form, but you should be able to do this.
    BTW.; make sure you have sp 1:

    I've CR 12 (2008)
    I've a report actually bind to datasource via DSN to a sql server.
    Now we need to migrate this connection to JDBC.
    So i downloaded microsft sql driver for jdbc and copied as
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Business Objects\Common\4.0\java/lib/external/sqljdbc4.jar
    I edited CRConfig.xml. adding this full path and file name at <Classpath>
    The parameters i entered are:

    class name: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
    in the second page i entere my usernmae, my password and the db name,
    but when click on 'finish' CR tell me 'unable to fine JNDI driver'.
    What's the problem now

    Sorry, but I'm not on a home pc, I'm working on a virtualized pc with a long chain of permissions ... so I cannot simply download and run an utility...
    Instead... I think (I WAS thinking) someone from SAP can tell me this info ... Probably I'll buy a paid assistance ticket... But really it's a strange thing that a simply connection from a (so) paid software need a so difficult problem solving routine..
    I edited my environment variales: JAVA, PATH; CLASSPATH; JAVA_DIR, and a long list of others ... to ALL point to ALL of directory containing used jars...
    .. I asked my SysAdmin to edit CrConfig.xml and it's done ... classpath are rights, jdbc infos are also ok, ...
    .. but none ...
