Need solution for dynamic pick lists in Crystal Reports

Does anyone have a good solution for creating a dynamic pick list for a Crystal Report that is based off of a BW Query without having to use a BW user input variable? In many cases it is not practical to use a BW variable to generate a dynamic pick list due to the high number of possible member values and the highly dynamic nature of the particular characteristic (customers, materials, etc.).  In my understanding the LOV Server is not an option when dealing with SAP BW.  Anyone else running into this issue with Crystal and SAP BW?

Hi Mike,
we once solved this by creating LOVs in BusinessView Manager. I am not sure if you can use the BW Publisher in this scenario as we did not use it. We published the reports directly to the BOE server for some reasons.
Creating a LOV in BusinessView manager is really easy. You can create cascading prompts, shedule refreshing of the lists, ...
By using the cascading prompt feature you can make prompts like this:
First enter the customer number (or pick it from a list) and then the second list, which holds the materials only has shows the ones which had been purchased by that customer. I think this is what you are looking for.
You should give it a try!

  • Need alternative for activex print control using Crystal reports 2008

    I have created a .Net web application (2.0/3.5 .Net framework) with crystal reports 2008.
    Reports are viewed using Crystal reports 2008 activex viewer.
    On click of PRINT icon in activex viewer, activex print control download prompt will be displayed on client machine.
    I need to avoid downloading of activex print control on client machine. Is there any other alternative or option to use print functionality in viewer without downloading activex print control on client machine?
    Or Is there any other workaround for print functionality in Crystal reports 2008 Viewer without downloading activex print control?
    Note: Activex print control download prompt will not be displayed when using Crystal reprots XI Release 2 version.
    Thanks,
    Jagannath

    Does anyone know which files need to be registered for the ActiveX print control?  We occasionally have users who somehow break their Crystal ActiveX controls, and they can no longer see the print options.  In Crystal 10, I was able to fix these issues by pushing a package which registered several files on the user's computer.

  • Automated Solution for Exporting SQL used in Crystal Reports

    My company has created over 400 reports that are running on Crystal Reports XI. Due to proposed changes in our database, we occasionally need to review the SQL statements of all 400+ reports to determine if any of them would be impacted by the proposed changes. In order to review the SQL used in these 400+ reports, we have had to open each report manually. We would like to know how we can review the SQL used in the reports without having to manually look at each report. I suspect there is a way to either write a program or use a tool that will export the SQL that is used in all reports. In a similar vain, we would be interested in knowing if there is an automated way to identify table names and fields that are used in each SQL statement.

    I see two directions to go:
    1. Review functionalities of .rpt Inspector
    [http://www.softwareforces.com/Product/ri/pro/3/rptInspector.htm]
    - it allows rpt mass analyses
    2. Post your question to ".Net Development - Crystal Reports" forum to see if it is possible to access required information through custom application

  • Passing Range Parameter for BO Publication for Dynamic Recepient list

    Hello,
    We have a Crystal report on top of BEx and we are passing input values for the parameters using another Crystal Report.
    We are trying to pass a date range from Dynamic Recipient List to date prompt under personalization.
    The format in which we are trying to pass is "05/06/2010 : 09/22/2010" and we are getting the below error in log file:
    Document for recipients {} failed: Internal error.

    I came accross the same problem with BIP 4.0 and CR2011 on BW MDX.
    By searching on the SAP notes I have found this one which is apparently only a workaround:

  • Standard output type for Delivery picking list

    Hi All,
    My requirement is to trigger a picking list from the outbound delivery whenever the overall WM status is "B". Probably I need to look at a new requirement routine to add this condition.
    Pls tell me what is the standard output type available for delivery picking list. I have analyed "EK00". Looks like this works only for deliveries without warehouse management.
    Also we dont have a customization path for "EK00" and it has to be assigned to a shipping point.
    Pls confirm if we can use EK00 for deliveries with warehouse management and is it correct?Else what is the other standard output type available for delivery picking list.

    check ZPCK picking list.
    SPRO>Logistics Execution>Shipping>Basic Shipping Functions>Output Control-->Define print parameters shipping
    Here available ZPCK condition type.I think this condition record you can use.

  • Do I need to buy an old version of Crystal Reports to put reports in browse

    Hello,
    I am doing some work for a small company of about 40 people.  They need reports.  Of course, I love using Crystal Reports and can create all the reports they need.
    However, there is an application written in Excel using Userforms that is in place now.  I was thinking of adding the old rdc from the past and let the users see their reports on a Userform.
    As another option, I was thinking of putting the report in a html page in a browser and let the Excel Userform just have a link to the URL where the html page will show the reports.
    Then I found out, the rdc is no longer being shipped.  Crystal Server is way to expensive for the small need now.
    How do you put Crystal Reports into a browser for the users to see?  Do I need to buy something like the old Crystal Reports 10 that still had the rdc?
    I just want to have a central place that my users can go to and pull up their reports.  Doesn't need to be fancy.  My reports will be fancy enough.
    Thanks.

    I think your best option is to discuss your needs with sales. From tech support stand point there are options such as the win based Crystal Reports viewer, web based CrystaReports.com (http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/reporting-dashboarding/reporting/index.epx), custom apps using the RDC in win or web apps (you'd need CR XI r2 which I believe is still available. I don't think CR 10 is...). And of course, custom apps using .NET or Java.

  • InfoSet fields not listed in Crystal Report Creation Wizard

    Hello Experts,
    We successfully build few reports using in Crystal Reports 2008 using SAP Integration Kit and InfoSets from ECC 6. But we run in some problems with InfoSet MIRO_PO as InfoSet's fields which are not included into Field Groups are listed in Crystal Report Creation Wizard as available fields. It looks like it may be related to Field Groups/Data Fields definition in Change InfoSet transaction SQ02.
    Did somebody run into similar problems? Is it mandatory to include all required fields into InfoSets' query groups?
    I can't find related documentation.
    Thank you in advance,

    If you want the list of values for command level parameter then you need to add another command like
    select PropertyField from table
    and delete the links between this command and the existing command.
    Now go to field explorer and edit the command level parameter and make it as dynamic and add the property field from newly added command.
    Hope this helps!

  • Is there a solution for dynamic reports and using Denes' Export to Excel?

    Oracle 10.2.0.4.0
    Application Express 3.2.1.00.10
    Hello all!
    I am using Denes Kubicek's Export_Excel_Pkg in my application and I'm having trouble exporting reports based on report regions created using a PL/SQL function body returning SQL query. I realize this is not an Oracle supported package, but was hoping someone here could shed some light on it. When I open up the Excel file, I get an error such as: Report Values Error: ORA-06550: line 22, column 5: PL/SQL: ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis.
    I've searched the forum and already have done as others suggested by modifying the REPLACE on the v_sql variable in Export_Excel_Pkg.Get_Usable_SQL, but it did not work. My assumption is that there is an issue with the value being passed to the wwv_flow_utilities.get_binds function. I could not find documentation on this function, but I'm thinking that it cannot extract the bind variables within a PL/SQL block. The report only works when I have just use SQL with bind variables...doesn't work for PL/SQL. Nor does it work for dynamic SQL reports that use a "lexical" parameter (e.g. using WHERE &p_and_condition.) to build the WHERE clause.
    Has anyone come up with a work-around to this? I somehow need to be able to extract reports based on dynamic SQL (or PL/SQL) to Excel.
    Help is appreciated!
    This is my example of a report based on PL/SQL function:
    DECLARE
      v_sql VARCHAR2(4000);
    BEGIN
      v_sql := q'[SELECT UPPER(t1.olo_name) agency_title,

    Hi,
    1. Missing SIDS : Mostly occurs due to missing master data or if error records are parked and not loaded susequently, or if Master data is not loaded before loading Transaction data. You need to fix these situations.
    2. Missing Idocs -Canbe due to idocs getting stuck, rfc connection failures, bad idocs, partner profies missing or deactivated. need to correct these errors on the source side.
    3.Source system errors - Jobs on source system failed or are slow.idoc errors. Source system crashing. Problems in generic extractions. Problems with update jobs. Data not getting posted to Delta queues. Data not coming through correctly after DS enhancement. Data posting errors to infostructures are some of the errors you'll face on the source system side.
    4. Missing messages again can be due to jobs being slow, processes being killed, or warning messages. Need to treat the warning messages or reset the job.
    5. Can be due to IDOC errors. Goto SM58 and push data packets from there on the source system side or due to IDOC errors.
    6. Same as 3.
    Cheers,
    Kedar

  • Need Solution for iWeb/QuickTime viewing problem in IE 6 for Windows

    When viewing an iWeb page in IE 6 for Windows with a background picture and a QuickTime movie embeded, the QT movie frame will "smear" when the page is scrolled. More specifically, The QT movie frame will not lock into its proper position as long as the page has a background picture selected in iWeb when viewing w/ IE 6 for Windows. Does anyone know of a solution for this? Does this problem still exist w/ later versions of IE for Windows?
    By the way, if you don't already know this, changing the Page Background setting back to the default of 'Color Fill' in iWeb and republishing will not correct the problem once a background picture is selected for a page. You have to set the Page Background setting to 'None' and republish. The movie frame will then be locked into place when scrolling the page in IE 6 for Windows.
