How to use a stored procedure as a datasource in Crystal Report for Eclipse

Hi All,
I've written a stored procedure in oracle 10g with few input parameters and one refcursor output parameter. I want to use this stored procedure as a data source for creating a report in "Crystal Report For Eclipse 3.6.0".
When I tried to add this stored procedure to the report using the connection explorer, I don't see any option to do this. But when I try to add any table, it shows options like "Add to the current report"....
Can anybody assist me how to use a stored procedure as a data source in "Crystal Report For Eclipse"?
Which driver should I use to connect to the oracle database? I tried using JDBC Driver for Oracle.
Thanks in advance.

Did you solve your problem? How did you do?

Hi Amol,
Are you able to execute your stored procedure from oracle?.
- If "Yes" then use the Crystal Report XIR2 Designer to create the report.
- Import this report in the Crystal Report For Eclipse Workbench.
- The latest version for Crystal Report For Eclipse is SP1.
Please let me know the results.
Thanks,
Neeraj

Crystal reports for eclipse ver 2 with oracle stored procedures

Does Crystal Reports for Eclipse version 2 support Oracle Stored Procedures.
I have been struggling to get this to work for the last 1 week.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Avinash Tauro

Thank you for your reply.
Does this mean that oracle stored procedures cannot be used at all in the J2EE environment. As even if I create the report using Crystal Reports 2008, I am unable to get it to work.
However It works great on .NET.
Since I can't use stored procedures, I've just copied the query to a bean and am executing it using jdbc. Also I am using the POJO method to link to the report.
This is working fine, except for the maintainance headache, as I have about 25 stored procedures for reporting, with each having a pretty complex query.
I guess I will convert all the stored procedures to front end based query mangement and use the POJO method to connect Crystal Reports.
Any suggestions / recommendations would be helpful.

Avinash Tauro

How to use Crystal Report Server with Crystal Reports for Eclipse

Hi,
is it possible to use Crystal Reports for Eclipse with the Crystal Report Server
like i can do it in Crystal Reports.
For Example open a Report file directly from the server edit and save there.
Thanks
Thomas

Yes, you can use the CR Server product in your Eclipse project. However, you will need to use the RAS SDK in your project instead of the CR4E SDK.
For more information about the RAS SDK, visit the DevLibrary.

Test Connection failed in Crystal Reports for Eclipse using SQL Server 2008

I installed an SQL Server Express 2008 on my local PC (Window XP SP3). I downloaded sqljdbc4.jar to Crystal Reports for Eclipse
IDE library path and tried to Test Connection, but got the Ping failed message : The TCP/IP connection to the host localhost, port 1433 has failed. It said that check that an instance of SQL Server is running on the host (I saw SQL Server SQLEXPRESS is Running on my PC) and accepting TCP/IP connection at the port (I enabled TCP/IPin my PC's SQL Server Network Configuration),
and that no firewall is blocking TCP connection to the port(I turned OFF Window Firewall on my OC). Can anyone tell me how can I fix this problem ?

Crystal Reports for Eclipse - Using .csv files?

I recently installed crystal reports for Eclipse and much of the basic CR functionality seems to be there, but then I added a .csv file as an ODA flat file data source and I can see it in my "Data Source Explorer", but can not seem to drag it into my report to actually use the data. Am I missing some basic step?
Thanks,
Chris

Hello Chris,
I recommend to post this query to the [Crystal Reports Design|SAP Crystal Reports; forum.
This forum is dedicated to topics related to the creation and design of Crystal Report documents. This includes topics such as database connectivity, parameters and parameter prompting, report formulas, record selection formulas, charting, sorting, grouping, totaling, printing, and exporting but also installation and registering.
It 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.
Best regards,

How to use the Stored Procedure to update my UDF

I want to use the Stored Procedure to update my UDF U_InstokCS when the warehouse "OnHand" was changed. The UDF is display the stock by cases. I copied the query as follewing. I couldn't see any thing in the UDF after I made some transactions. Can anybody tell me why? How to continue it?
if @transaction_type in ('A','U','D') and @Object_type='64'
begin
Update OITW
Set U_InstokCS = OnHand/(Select T0.NumInBuy from [DBO].[OITM] T0
Where T0.ItemCode = @list_of_cols_val_tab_del)
Where ItemCode = @list_of_cols_val_tab_del
end
Thanks.
Ying Zhang

Ying,
The use of any stored procedures against the SAP Business One database is not allowed per SAP Support. There is not an instance where you can use SP's. The ONLY SP that you are allowed to use is the SBO_SP_TransactionNotification SP that comes with SAP Business One itself. You can read about the use of this SP from this article...

How to use Parameterized Stored Procedure in OBIEE 10 g..?

Hi All,
In my rpd, to load the data in the Physical layer, I'm using a Stored Procedure (*SQL Server Stored Procedure*).
This stored procedure is using some parameters, so my intention is
1) Provide prompts for each parameter
2) Allow the user to select parameter value from the prompt
Can some one let me know if this is possible and if so how to do this.
Thanks in Advance
Mithun

Dear,

Fields in Stored Procedure does not appear in Crystal reports 2008.

hi,
I am now using crystal reports 2008 evaluation copy for 30 days. I am trying to create a stored procedure with parameter, here is my sample Stored Procedure code;
DELIMITER $$
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS `puerto`.`SP_FindEmployees`$$
CREATE DEFINER=`root`@`localhost` PROCEDURE `SP_FindEmployees`(SIDNo VARCHAR(10))
BEGIN
SELECT * FROM employees WHERE IDNo=SIDNo;
END$$
DELIMITER ;
when i try to call the procedure in sqlyog here is my sample code;
CALL sp_findemployees('0000000001')
it is successfull, but when i try to connect it with crystal reports 2008 I got no fields in my stored procedure andi got this error message ;
"Database Connector: 'HY00:[MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver][mysqld-5.1.33-community]incorect number of arguments for procedure puerto.sp_findemployees; expected 1, got 0 [Database vendor code: 1318]"
CR2008 was not asking a parameter values.
But when I try using stored procedure that i've made in MSSQL, CR2008 asking parameters and succefully created the reports needed.
My Objective is to make a stored procedure in MySQL by using select statement and filter it with parameter(s) that I will pass and CR2008 will use this stored procedure.
i also try the view with this code below and it was successfull in CR2008.
DELIMITER $$
DROP VIEW IF EXISTS `puerto`.`ep_employees`$$
CREATE ALGORITHM=UNDEFINED DEFINER=`root`@`localhost` SQL SECURITY DEFINER VIEW `ep_employees` AS (SELECT `employees`.`IDNo` AS `IDNo`,`employees`.`FullName` AS `FullName` FROM `employees`)$$
DELIMITER ;

Use XML as data input for Crystal Report for Eclipse

Hi,
I am completely new to crystal report and please kindly forgive me if I ask some stupid questions.
Actually, I have searched the forum for the topic and found some related threads, but I still want to
have some responses from crystal report experts on this issue.
Our developer tool is IBM RAD 7.0 and it has crystal reports tools installed in it. I want to use
crystal report to solve one of our business solutions. I have the following questions about the
feasbility of this solution:
(1). I need to specify data at runtime during report generation. I think using fixed data source
     (for example, SQL query or Stored Procedure) may not fit our needs. I think if crystal report
     can accept XML as input to generate reports at runtime, then it will be perfect. Can CR
     use XML as data source as input?
(2). Actually, one of our business requirements is to generate a letter. Can CR do a report
      layout such that a letter format can be achieved? If yes, would you let me know the
      report layout name?
(3). We need to export the report into PDF format, I know CR can do PDF output. But can
      CR be controlled to export this into bytes stream? Or the PDF must be saved into a
      physical file?
(4) If I need to learn more about CR, which book will you recommend?
Thanks in advance for your advice,
Raymond

Thanks for the help Ted
Works like a charm now.
Or atleast my very very simple XML report works.
Now I just need to play around and see what I can do and what I cant.
I just want to make sure I understand how this works.
1) I start of with a XML file (or URL or other data source as explained in your BLOG)
2) I then have to create blank report which will have its data source set to my XML file.
    This report (rpt file) will always have its data source set to the original XML location
Can this be dynamically changed, or does a new rpt file need to be created each time
    (or atleast I will have to re-run "CreateXMLInlineSchemaReport" from your BLOG)
3) I can now use this rpt file as I would any other rpt file but its data source will be the original XML file
   - If I update or change the XML file, the report will dynamically reflect these changes.
4) To change the data source, I need to recreate a new rpt file as per point 2. Which will now be blank.
5) Filtering.... if I want to filter the XML data do I use normal parameters. If I want to filter the data before
    I pull it do I need to change anything. In otherwords if I have a XML file with 1000 records, but I only want say
5 of them, how do I only pull those 5 without first pulling the whole 1000 records. Hope that makes sense.
As I said I am very new to this so some things still fly over my head, but I do play around abit so hopefully
will find what I am looking for.
Cheers
Darren
PS any other links to info on creating and running reports of XML data sources would be greatly appriciated

How do you turn on logging in Crystal Reports for Eclipse

Hi All,
I have created a test application to view crystal reports through a web app running on JBoss. I need to see detailed logs of what the JRC is doing with connections and other information but nothing is currently being printed out in the logs or console. JBoss is configured to use log4j and I can see logs calls that I make in the JSP file before opening and creating a report but nothing is coming from the JRC engine.
Could anyone advise on how to get logging working correctly.
Regards,
Ben.

This is what I use;
log4j.logger.com.businessobjects = DEBUG, stdoutAppender
log4j.logger.com.businessobjects12 = DEBUG, stdoutAppender
log4j.logger.com.crystalreports = DEBUG, stdoutAppender
log4j.logger.com.crystaldecisions12 = DEBUG, stdoutAppender
log4j.logger.com.crystaldecisions = DEBUG, stdoutAppender
You will of course need to adjust to the log4j appender you have declared

Not all data sources available via the Eclipse Database Explorer component are supported with Crystal Reports for Eclipse.
CSV data sources currently isn't on the [Supported Platforms doc|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/20c69834-cfc4-2b10-da81-960222254295]

How to call Oracle Stored Procedure using EDQ

Can someone tell me how to use Oracle Stored Procedure call in EDQ, sample scripts/steps will be really helpful. Thanks!

It is also possible to do this using a custom processor in EDQ. The processor needs to do something very similar to the external task above (opens a DB connection, authenticates, runs a stored procedure).
If you need this, please talk us through the use case so we can determine if it is the best fit. In some ways, an external task is better as logically a stored procedure call is normally divorced from any process logic in EDQ.

Mike

Using Crystal Reports for Ad-Hoc reporting

Is Crystal Reports capable of ad-hoc reporting? If so what of the myriad of products is the minimum that I would need to get started?

There are a few ways to get close to what you need. The easiest way is to use Crystal Reports for Eclipse which is the product that contains an embedded version of the Cystal Reports designer. This would allow users to design and connect the reports to datasources in a similar manner to Crystal Reports. It isn't a fully featured version of CR, more of a basic version. It will allow you to add charts, and you can open an already created template; the connectivity is limited to JDBC, JavaBeans, POJO classes, XML and Web Services.
You can also use the Crystal Report Java SDK to create your own adhoc pages that will allow you to perform the functionality you designer. The API will allow you to do nearly anything you can do within Crystal Reports.
The above downloads are can be obtained freely from the Crystal Reports for Eclipse portal on SDN. To distribute web applications internally, you do not require any additional licenses. To sell your application or to distribute it externally, you require a Developer Advantage license. See this link for more information about that:
http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/reporting/eclipse/technicaldetails/index.epx
For more information about the SDK and Embedded Designer, have a look at the Crystal Reports for Eclipse 2.0 Developer Guide AND API reference documentation in the SDK Library, the Business Objects Portal, on http://www.sdn.sap.com .
