Multi pass bursting of a Crystal report on business view with a bex query

In BO CMC, we have a group with a list of user.
The idea is to burst (via the multi pass bursting method) a Crystal report for this list of user with the constraint that this report should only contains data of the store linked to the user.
Our data comes from a SAP BI cube.
The link between a Store and a User comes from an other system.
We have build a bex query and use it as a data source of a Crystal Data Foundation.
In this Data Foundation we have an other table storing the user ID and the Store ID.
These 2 tables are linked in this Data Foundation on the Store ID.
Business element and Business View have also been created on top of this Data Foundation.
We have impletemented a filter in this Data Foundation to filter out data on the user id. This user id will be filled when bursting the report for all requested users thanks to this function :.
As a user is linked to one store, the data foundation will filter the data coming from the bex query and show only the data of the user's store.
We have build a crystal report using the business view created above as data source. We have made some test on a small amount of data and it works, data are correctly filter out and the reports shows only the data from one store.
But the problem is that we have a lot of stores (more than 600) and doing this way implies that the bex query will always return the data for all the stores as the filter will occurs in the data foundation and not on the bex query.
We need to find a way to make the bex query returning only the data of the store linked to the user for which we burst the report.
As we have more than 600 stores this was an idea to avoid managing more than 600 under BO groups or more than 600 different filters.
This solution do not work when the bex query result set is too large.
Does anyone has an idea on how to implement such "dynamic" filter in the bex query? The parameter is the user ID but the filter to be applied on the bex query is on the store ID.
We are under BO XI release 2, Crystal XI Release 2 and we have installed the BO release 2 integration kit for SAP

Hi,
what about setting up the data level security in BW ?

Hi
it is recommended to have the same version of the int.Kit and the CR Designer. ie.
Crystal Reports 2008 V0 + int.Kit 3.0
Crystal Reports 2008 V1 + int.Kit 3.1
Crystal Reports 2008 SP2 + int.Kit 3.1 SP2
Did you install the SP2 for the CR designer after you installed the int.Kit for SAP?

Linking calendar control from Crystal Reports to Business View Manager

I have a requirement to have 3 prompts on a crystal reports. First prompt will show list of all available regions from database and users will select a region.
2nd prompt will be 2 calendar controls for from data and to date where users can either type the dates or select from calendar.
Based on the value selected in first prompt and from and to date values entered in 2nd prompt I have to populate list of events in 3rd prompt.
Is this possible in crystal. Any help will be highly appreciated. I am doing parallel research and if I find a solution I will post it.

Crystal Reports Active X Viewer 64-Bit

Hi All,
I am searching for some information regarding support of the Crystal Reports Active X viewer with 64-Bit Internet Explorer (version 8)
We use Cyrstal Report 9, 10, 11 and 11.5 on our clients servers and have no issues with the 32 bit version of Internet Explorer (including on 64-bit operating systems). We have one client attempting to use 64 bit Internet Explorer 8 but this is not showing any reports.
Even when having manually installed the Active X dll's it still does not work.
Can someone advise if this set up is possible/supported?
As I understand it, it is not possible.
Regards
Matthew Haines

Hello,
All of those versions are 32 bit only and I doubt 64 bit IE will support 32 bit ActiveX controls. No solution for you.
Possibly moving to CR For VS 2010 and the Cr .NET assemblies may work.
64 bit IE is not very stable and not many people use it. I suggest you recommend staying away from it at this time. Or at lease CR doesn't like it either.
Good luck

Can we create Multi Tabbed excel Sheet using Crystal Reports 2008

Hi,
We want to create a Crystal Report which will export the output as multiple Tab's ( we can use sub reports). Can we create a Multi Tabbed excel Sheet using Crystal Reports 2008 ( not Crystal reports Basic 2008). Please share any information/links on how to do that.
Also if it is not supported please let us know which version supports it.
Thanks,
Vasu

At least one of the 3rd-party Crystal Reports Desktop Scheduling tools listed at: http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html provides that functionality. It allows you to burst a single report so that each Group at level 1 becomes a separate tab. You can control the tab names (and tab colors) via fields/formulas inside the report.
You can also automate the process of exporting to (and also replacing or appending to) specified tabs inside existing workbooks.

Bex Query not passing blank columns to crystal reports

good morning ladies and gentleman,
i have created a bex query that shows all employees from the master data table and links to the cats table to show absence hours...
in bex, all employees are showing and some of the employees have hours showing for sick time. very good...
i have created a report in crystal with this bex query and it does not show rows from the master data that do not have a link to the cats table. only the rows that have a link to the cats table are showing up.
the reason i need the master data from the employee table is that the users want to divide the total hours off(sick time) per department by the total employees in that department.
i have tried to create a formula that will add 1 to the hours sick field, then all the rows should have a amount in it. but, it still does not show the employees who do not have sick time.
here is the sql query from crystal.
SELECT {[Measures].[4J8L2TQJ3P517ISQ1R4Y8UZ36], [Measures].[4J9PY3UANRIW2HW15YSOED92A], [Measures].[4J9TLIO0NDQROSA2YONCW6HB6]}
ON COLUMNS,
NON EMPTY
CROSSJOIN([0EMPLOYEE].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS, [0EMPLOYEE__0COMP_CODE].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS)
DIMENSION PROPERTIES [0EMPLOYEE].[50COMP_CODE], [0EMPLOYEE].[50MAST_CCTR] ON ROWS
FROM [ZCATS_MC1/ZZCATS_MC1_Q001C]
SAP VARIABLES [0I_DAYS] INCLUDING [0CALDAY].[20100502] : [0CALDAY].[20100903]
this is kind of an emergency and i have been working on this for two days and cannot come to a resolution.
if anyone can help, i would appreciate it.
i am guessing that there is a option somewhere that will allow blank records to show.
please help.
thanks,
erik

miss stated the issue. created new note.

Bex Query not passing all rows to Crystal reports

hello experts,
i have created a bex query that shows all employees from the master data table and links to the cats table to show absence hours...
in bex, all employees are showing and some of the employees have hours showing for sick time. this is known as a left outer join.
i have created a report in crystal with this bex query and it does not show rows from the master data that do not have a link to the cats table. only the rows that have a link to the cats table are showing up. (this is compared to a inner join)
the reason i need the master data from the employee table is that the users want to divide the total hours off(sick time) per department by the total employees in that department.
here is the sql query from crystal that was created automatically when i used the bex query to created the crystal report.
SELECT {Measures.4J8L2TQJ3P517ISQ1R4Y8UZ36, Measures.4J9PY3UANRIW2HW15YSOED92A, Measures.4J9TLIO0NDQROSA2YONCW6HB6}
ON COLUMNS,
NON EMPTY
CROSSJOIN(0EMPLOYEE.LEVEL01.MEMBERS, 0EMPLOYEE__0COMP_CODE.LEVEL01.MEMBERS)
DIMENSION PROPERTIES 0EMPLOYEE.50COMP_CODE, 0EMPLOYEE.50MAST_CCTR ON ROWS
FROM ZCATS_MC1/ZZCATS_MC1_Q001C
SAP VARIABLES 0I_DAYS INCLUDING 0CALDAY.20100502 : 0CALDAY.20100903
i am using the mdx driver, and the integration kit is 2.8.
any thoughts?
thanks,
erik

Thanks Ingo for the quick response.
this sounds like a limitation in the integration between bex and crystal because the query shows the correct data and the crystal reports does not. i have tried to add a calculated key figure to all the rows and put a number in it but it still does not show the rows in crystal.
my issue is that they(the business users) want to know all the employees in the employee master data along with all the sick / illness data.
do you have a suggestion for this issue?
do you think that the mdx driver should be updated to allow master data to flow to crystal?
thx,
Erik

Crystal Report Windows Forms Viewer Error in 1 Workstation after upgrade of PL

Hi all,
We just upgraded SAP from 8.82 PL02 to 8.82 PL15.
Afterwards, in just 1 workstation, Crystal Reports layouts have Crystal Report Windows Forms Viewer error I attach.
Before the upgrade this error did not happen.
No permissions or authorizations were changed in the workstation.
The Crystal Reports layouts remain working fine in server and in the other workstations.
In the workstation following are installed:
- Operating System Windows 7;
- Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5;
- SAP Crystal Reports runtime engine for. NET Framework;
- Crystal Report 2008 Runtime SP6;
- Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Native Client.
All, but the operating system, are equal to the other workstations.
User has edit access to SAP folders, temp and access to the attach path.
We already uninstalled SAP client and client agent and re-installed it but with no avail.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Pedro Mariano

Databases that Crystal Reports 9 can function with

Hi,
We are going to purchase Crystal Reports for the use with a new financial program that we will be purchasing. The financial program that we will purchase allows report customization within the program if using the Crystal Reports 9 engine. For that reason we are going to purchase Crystal Reports 9. Otherwise we would have to create custom reports outside of this program if using a more recent version of Crystal like 2008.
However we need to make sure Crystal Reports will work with our SQL Server 2005 database. I tried to research a bit on Crystal Reports 9 (of which currently I know nothing about) and came across this document when doing a search https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/202ff507-281f-2b10-78b6-b6bce2668d6b.
We also need Crystal 9.0 to work with Paradox and BDE databases. It looks like BDE 5.1 and Paradox 8 & 9 are listed as supported platforms. I also see SQL Server 2000 but do not see SQL Server 2005. Will Crystal Reports 9.0 work with a SQL Server 2005 database and also what are the plans for Crystal Reports 9.0 working with future versions of SQL like 2008?
thanks,
JW

Does Crystal Report XI R2 comes with Crystal Data Object (CDO)

Hi,
Does anyone knows if installation of crystal reports include Crystal Data Object (CDO) ? From the article(http://www.dataaccess.com/kbasepublic/KBPrint.asp?ArticleID=2183) it seems like it doesn't comes with the standard installation package in Crystal Report XI R2. Please advise. Thanks =)
Regards.

You need to pick "Crystal Data Objects" from the list of Data Access options offered by Crystal Reports when you are installing it -- that item is not selected by default.
To add that to your machine:
- Open Add/Remove Programs
- Select Crystal Reports 11 and click on the Change button
- Expand the tree under "Data Access"
- Select "Crystal Data Objects" and click on it
- Select it to be installed -- you will probably need your Crystal Reports CD to proceed with the installation.

Crystal Reports and Business One Problems

Hello all
Some questions about Crystal Reports and Business One, I try run some Crystal reports developed in special but for some reason when I ussing Terminal Services this unplug, so, more strange its when the user are not administrators because when are adminstrators this problem is not present.
Some tip its welcome.
Thanks a lot

Hi Ricardo,
I checked the privileges point to point, even as he opened like to administration, but no response as to assign regular users, that is strange.
>I didn't undertstand these statement .What do you mean by point to point .There is only one place you have to specify was user has access to the group you have defined .As described , it is done in number 4 .(Please refer to that )
When we are talking about user -there is two user --One is superuser and regular user
If you are super user , you have to give permission to other users to only crystal report and regular user doesn't need access to Administration module <referring he opened like to administration> .
BTW , Are you familiar with crystal report administration in SAP b1 ? You can find several thread poiting towards training material in the forum
Hope this helps

Crystal Report Windows Forms Viewer problems - table could not be found

Hi,
I installed Crystal Report Viewer in SAP Business One 2007. All the while, I can run the reports without any problem. but when I loaded some of the new report, it gives me the following error message:
the caption says: "Crystal Reports Windows Forms Viewer"
the message says: "The table 'paymentVoucher' could not be found.
Error in file C:\...paymentVoucher.rpt. The table could not be found."
By the way, I can run the report in another workstation.
Any help or ideas of why this is happening or how to solve this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

The report is not created by me. I just help others to transfer the report from one workstation to another workstation. PaymentVoucher is a view in the database and it is being put at a workstation that can be shared by everyone.
I've go through other forums and found out that it might be permission issues and now managed to solve the problem already.
Thanks everyone for the advice.

Passing parameters dynamically to crystal report from oracle

Hi,
I have a Crystal Report that is based on an Oracle Stored Procedure. This was created using Crystal Reports XI R2 and it is published on a Infoview environment.
There are 2 parameteres in an Oracle Stored Procedure, of which one parameter is Region which contains values like AP,GJ,HP,MP,TN. The report run daily at scheduled time in infoview and the output of the report for each region is passed and stored in that particular region folder for easy access to enduser. The other parameter is a refcursor.
Now my issue is i want to add new region value like KA. As i am new to crystal reports i am unable to understand how to do this also if possible can any one send me liknk which explains the procedure how to run a report that is based on an Oracle Stored Procedure.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Typically when you create the report this way the Store Procedure will query the table for values and present those in a drop down list in the report Prompts when viewing. Or if it's not interactive then simply typing in 'KA" into the parameter UI should/could return data.
So it all depends on how you have this configured and how it was set up in the CMC when the report was scheduled. The BOE Administrator may have manually added the filter for each state or it's part of the report itself and other than updating the table field values is all that is required.
So it's not clear what role you play in the Admin group of BOE but it appears to be fairly simple to do. If you are not the Administrator find out who is and that person can explain it to you also.
I'll move this post to the Business Objects Enterprise Forum for someone there to give you specific details.
Thank you
Don
