To Create a alert the following things has to done
Goto Report menu --> Alerts --> Create or Modify Alerts --> Click on New button.
Give the Name as No Records Found and then click on the Condition button and give the condition as
count({field}) = 0 // Where {field} is any DB field used in the report
This will create the alert. At each refresh it will alert you.
Write a formula in the report as ie.,Alert Message and give the condition as
If IsAlertTriggered ("No Records Found") Then
" No Records Found "
You can use this formula field in the report to show No Records Found when there is no records available.
Hope it might help you!

How to pop up alert "No Data found" if there are no values in database

Hi All,
Please tell me how to pop up alert if there is no data found and all fields are null in report for given parameter value. or else is there any way to trigger user while entering parameter value that wrong parameter value. (I dnt want to use drop down) in my report.
Please help me. Any help will be valuable.
Thanks.

There's no way that I know of to do this as a "Pop-up", but providing a "no records returned" warning still easy enough to do.
Just insert a new Report Header section...
Add a text box that has whatever message you'd like to display.
Right click the new header section and choose Selection Expert
Click the X-2 button next to Suppress (No Drill-Down)
Enter a formula similar to this...
IF COUNT({TableName.FieldName}) < 1 THEN FALSE ELSE TRUE
This will suppress the warning if records are present and display it if there are none.

How to register/configure a Data Provider with Crystal Report Designer

Hi,
Iu2019m in the process of developing an ADO .Net XML Data Provider which works with Data Sets. I want to use this custom Data Provider through Crystal Report Designer 2008 so that I can access it from the u201CStandard Report Creation Wizard\Available Data Sourcesu201D section. How can I do this? I read the following in the u201Ccreating custom adddins.docu201D documentation.
u201CCrystal Reports (CR) 2008 installs a new managed dll called DotNetExternalCommandAdapter.DLL and installs it into the Global Assembly Cache (GAC). CR 2008 uses this dll to search and load files with a csc prefix in CR 2008u2019s AddIns subdirectory in a similar way it looks for database drivers, export drivers and UFLs. To create an Add-In the developer needs to reference this dll and inherit two classes from it, ICommand and ICommandDLL.u201D
I have the following questions,
1) As it mentions above how can I make Crystal find my custom Data Provider when it searches for the database drivers?
2) Is there another class I can inherit from when creating my custom data provider? If so where can I find some documentation regarding this?
3) Can I register my custom data provider in to the GAC and will Crystal find it if so how can I register my custom Data Provider? Will GACUtil work for Crystal as well?
Thanks in Advance,

Baron, thank you for providing that link.
Chanaka see if that article helps you out. It should - had I got to this thread earlier, I'd have sent that link also. Certainly DE place to start.

How to hardcode date(s) in Crystal Reports?

Post Author: Vishy
CA Forum: Formula
Hi,
Any one have any idea about, how to hardcode the date(s) in Crystal Reports?
For example, I want hardcode the US holidays in my Crystal Report.
I am using Version 9.0.
Your immediate help is greatly appreciated
Thanks,
Vishy

Post Author: chantilly
CA Forum: Formula
Not sure I'm the best person to answer because I seem to be experimenting in my own inexperience. What I would try first would be to create variables for each of the holidays and pull them into the report. Such as
dateVar Christmas := Date (2007, 12, 25);Christmas
I think you can then perform more calculations on it, such as to find how many days etc.

How Do I Display HTML Formatted Text From A Data Table In Crystal Reports?

I'm creating reports in Crystal XI. The information being displayed in the reports comes from data tables where the text is formatted in HTML.
I've worked with Crystal Reports enough to know that HTML text pulled from a data table doesn't appear in Crystal the same way it does in a web browser. Crystal Reports ignores all the tags (...unless I'm missing something...) and just displays the text.
Someone far more Crystal savy than I (...who I don't have access to...) came up with a Formula Field workaround that tricks Crystal Reports into displaying some basic HTML tags. Here's that workaround:

QUESTION - Does any similar workaround exist so I can display an HTML Table in Crystal Reports? If not, is there any way to display HTML formatted text from a data table in Crystal Reports as it would appear in a web browser?

Hi Steven,
To display html text in Crystal Reports follows these steps.
1. Right click on the field and select Paragraph tab.
2. Under 'Text Interpretation' select 'HTML Text' and click OK.
I have tried using the way,but it never works.So reply me if there is any way to solve the issue

Hi Vivek,
To you may create on demand sub report.
In main report only the link will be shown when you click on the link the sub report will be opened in a new tab.
It can be placed in a Group header and to show the data for that particular group only.
Click on the Help menu in the crystal Reports Designer and open the Crystal Reports Help
Go to Index tab and type in subreport
Select Creating On demand you will get lot of information on that.
Please let us know if that is enough to solve your problem

Hierarchical Data Source in Crystal Reports Options

We are trying to use Crystal Reports in VS2005 and set the data source
to a list of our objects.
      Dim list As New BindingList(Of Payslip)
      Dim Report2 As New CrystalReport2()
      Report2.SetDataSource(list)
This works fine when we are just considering the Payslip class in
isolation. However we have a property on Payslip which contains a list
of another class Element.
   Public Property Elements() As BindingList(Of Element)
      Get
         Return _Elems
      End Get
      Set(ByVal Value As BindingList(Of Element))
         _Elems = Value
      End Set
   End Property
We would like to be able to display the Elements in the report, in a
sub report ideally. However we cannot find a way of doing this. We can
tell Crystal Reports how to link an Element to a PaysSlip, but not how
to get to the Elements in the first place (i.e. by going through the
property called Elements).
How can we achieve this?

The fundamental data model of Crystal Reports is relational and not object hierarchial.
Are you able to transform the object hierarchy to a relational model?

Writing and including our own customer data source to Crystal Report Design

Hi,
I need to create a Crystal Report based on a locally stored XML and schema. I can do this but the issue Iu2019m facing is that some tags used in the schema and the format is not supported by Crystal. So my plan is to write a database driver which will take our format and then convert it to the format Crystal supports and vise versa. To do this before writing the driver I need to know if itu2019s possible to include my custom database driver source in to the list that is shown in the Crystal Report Designer when selecting a data source to create a report. Is there such an API available so that I can plugin my data source to Crystal Report Designer? Is this at least possible to do or is there another way?
Hope you can help me.
Thanks you in advance.
Regards,
Chanaka

Hi Chanaka,
Not directly. If you base your driver on OLD DB or ODBC then it will show up in those lists.
If you are planning on selling a lot of packages then you may want to contact our OEM Sales team and sign up. You'll have more resources to do customized features like this. Not sure if we can but the option is there.
Thank you

How to highlight the repeated records in a BO crystal report?

Hi ,
How to highlight the repeated records in a BO crystal report?
we want to highlight the rows for which account number is same.
thanks
sriram

You don't even need to create a group. Just sort the records on the fields that define "duplicate". Then you can just use
if {field} = PreviousValue({field}) then crYellow else crNoColor
in the format's Background Color formula. This will cause the background to be yellow on duplicates. (If you need to check more than one field in order to determine duplicates, just insert
and {field2} = PreviousValue({field2}
and so on for each field that needs to be checked.

1) What are you expecting this piece of code to do?
             SELECT COUNT(*)
             INTO V_COUNT
             FROM EM B
             WHERE B.EM_NUMBER=CUR_A.EM_NUMBER;My answer would be that i expect it to do nothing (unless i've misunderstood what you're doing up until now). You are making a new type of key in the EM table by frankensteining data elements from your tab_to_em table, so i would expect that code to always return 0. By the way, that's what we have a dup_val_on_index catch for, no need to read the table, you try your insert, if you dup a value, you take appropriate action.
I guess the best way to proceed based on what you've provided would be 2 SQL statements.
1) insert records where you cannot find a match in the target table
2) insert records where you CAN find a match in the target table
INSERT INTO EM (EM_ID, EM_NUMBER, NAME_FIRST,NAME_LAST, EMAIL)
select
A.NAME_LAST||'_'||SUBSTR(A.NAME_FIRST,1,3)||SUBSTR(A.EM_NUMBER,-2),
A.EM_NUMBER,
A.NAME_FIRST,
A.NAME_LAST,
A.MAILBOX
from tab_to_em a
where not exists
select null
from em b
where b.NAME_LAST||'_'||SUBSTR(b.NAME_FIRST,1,3)||SUBSTR(b.EM_NUMBER,-2) = a.em_number
INSERT INTO EM (EM_ID, EM_NUMBER, NAME_FIRST,NAME_LAST, EMAIL)
select
A..NAME_LAST||'_'||SUBSTR(A..NAME_FIRST,1,3)||SUBSTR(A..EM_NUMBER,-2)'_'||SUBSTR ('000' || SEQ_EM_ID.NEXTVAL, -3),
A.EM_NUMBER,
A.NAME_FIRST,
A.NAME_LAST,
A.MAILBOX
from tab_to_em a
where exists
select null
from em b
where b.NAME_LAST||'_'||SUBSTR(b.NAME_FIRST,1,3)||SUBSTR(b.EM_NUMBER,-2) = a.em_number
);This comes with the caveat that what you are doing is a REALLY bad idea. Really really really bad idea.
The baddies are
1) your choice for a 'primary key'
2) using a sequence and then substring it
3) this is from a business perspective, storing the same person multiple times!
Now, i don't know your system or requirements, but i am speaking in general terms here, this seems like a all around bad idea and i would suggest you revisit the design.

How to change the default "no data found"

Hi,
Is there a way to change the default "no data found" message of the "When No Data Found Message" in the Report Attributes?
I would like to change that message for a French message. I know that I can change it manually in every section, but I would like another default messages appearing when i create a Report Section.
Thanks

Can you point me to a tutorial?Sure, Users Guide > Managing...Globalization (Chapter 15?)
Is this not happening at run-time?Yes. What happens at runtime is the selection of the application to run. If you run a page in the Application Builder (app 4000) and that application had not been translated or your browser language were set to some flavor (flavour) of English, you get 4000. If app 4000 had been translated to French, say, and you request a page in 4000 and have your browser language set to French, then you'll really run the requested page from app 4002 which is a copy of 4000 translated to French long before your request came along.
If you look at our distribution, you'll find 9 (or more) versions of each of the internal applications in the builder directory.

How to create a report with data using the Crystal Reports for Java SDK

Hi,
How do I create a report with data that can be displayed via the Crystal Report for Java SDK and the Viewers API?
I am writing my own report designer, and would like to use the Crystal Runtime Engine to display my report in DHTML, PDF, and Excel formats. I can create my own report through the following code snippet:
ReportClientDocument boReportClientDocument = new ReportClientDocument();
boReportClientDocument.newDocument();
However, I cannot find a way to add data elements to the report without specifying an RPT file. Is this possible? I seems like it is since the Eclipse Plug In allows you to specify your database parameters when creating an RPT file.
is there a way to do this through these packages?
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.data
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.definition
Am I forced to create a RPT file for the different table and column structures I have?
Thank you in advance for any insights.

Hi Rameez,
After working through the example code some more, and doing some more research, I remain unable to populate a report with my own data and view the report in a browser.

There was other sample code on SDN which suggested the following - adding the table after calling table.setDataFields() as in:
 String tableName = "Building";
 String fieldname = "Building_Name";
 Table oTable = new Table();
 oTable.setName(tableName);
 oTable.setAlias(tableName);

This code succeeds, but it is not clear how to add that database field to a section. If I attempt to call the following:
FieldObject oFieldObject = new FieldObject();
 oFieldObject.setDataSourceName(field.getFormulaForm());
 oFieldObject.setFieldValueType(field.getType());
 // Now add it to the section
 oFieldObject.setLeft(3120);

 oFieldObject.setHeight(226);
 rcd.getReportDefController().getReportObjectController().add(oFieldObject, rcd.getReportDefController().getReportDefinition().getDetailArea().getSections().getSection(0), -1);
Then I get an error (which is not unexpected)

How do I add one of the table.SetDataFields() to my report to be displayed?
Are there any other pointers or suggestions you may have?
Thank you
